Project implementation refers to the process of putting a plan, idea, model, design, specification, standard, algorithm, policy, or the administration or management of a process or objective into action. It involves coordinating resources and measuring performance to ensure the project remains within its expected scope and budget. A project implementation plan is a document that defines how a project will be executed. Implementation plans explain the strategic goals and steps involved in a project, define the project completion timeline, and list the resources (including team members) necessary for a successful project. The implementation phase is the third phase of the project management life cycle, where the project manager will coordinate and direct project resources to meet the objectives of the project plan. To implement a project successfully, many inter-related tasks need to be carried out in an appropriate sequence, and utilizing a well-proven implementation methodology and enlisting professional advice can help. Here are the essential steps to creating a project implementation plan:
- Define the project scope and objectives.
- Identify the project stakeholders.
- Develop a project schedule.
- Determine resource requirements.
- Establish a communication plan.
- Monitor and control the project.
