Among the many things you'll learn: how to establish market feasibility and minimize risk; how to ascertain the special functional needs of a particular hotel or resort complex and come up with an aesthetically pleasing, but cost-effective, plan to meet those needs; how to assemble a talented and smoothly functioning team, with tips on setting up clear lines of communication; how to balance the sometimes conflicting requirements of all the various clients involved - including owners, government authorities, hotel managers, and hotel users; how to conform to the constraints presented by budgetary and environmental concerns and still come up with a plan you'll be proud to put your name on; how to assure cost and quality control through every stage of the project; and how to achieve "hands-on" management of everything from the bidding process ... to procurements ... to planning and scheduling ... to liaisons with clients ... to each stage of construction ... to phase-out and completion of the project. Filled with fascinating case studies of ambitious hotel and resort projects that have been successfully and imaginatively carried out in recent years, this book is unequalled in providing expert advice on handling the complex issues you'll need to master a challenging and truly rewarding undertaking.

Download or read book A Project Lifecycle for New Hotels written by Gert Noordzy and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper advocates that hotel owners adopt a complete and well-defined project lifecycle when developing their new hotels. Moreover, it recommends that owners should appoint an experienced and well-rounded project manager to plan all phases within this project lifecycle from day one of their projects. To provide a context, the paper summarizes current approaches to opening new hotels and identifies their inherent problems. Then, the overall asset lifecycle for a hotel is proposed and the authors recommend that owners adopt the extended project lifecycle for their new hotel projects. The goals and deliverables for the key phases within this extended new hotel project lifecycle are identified and the main benefits of following this new approach are explained. This new approach ensures that all interdependencies are identified and planned for, and reduces the risks of new hotel opening project failures (delays, cost overruns, etc.). It also helps optimize the return on investment for each new hotel and maximizes positive cash flows from operations.

Download or read book Business Analysis Requirements and Project Management written by Karl Cox and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT projects emerge from a business need. In practice, software developers must accomplish two big things before an IT project can begin: find out what you need to do (i.e., analyse business requirements) and plan out how to do it (i.e., project management). The biggest problem in IT projects is delivering the wrong product because IT people do not understand what business people require. This practical textbook teaches computer science students how to manage and deliver IT projects by linking business and IT requirements with project management in an incremental and straightforward approach. Business Analysis, Requirements, and Project Management: A Guide for Computing Students presents an approach to analysis management that scales the business perspective. It takes a business process view of a business proposal as a model and explains how to structure a technical problem into a recognisable pattern with problem frames. It shows how to identify core transactions and model them as use cases to create a requirements table useful to designers and coders. Linked to the analysis are three management tools: the product breakdown structure (PBS), the Gantt chart, and the Kanban board. The PBS is derived in part from the problem frame. The Gantt chart emerges from the PBS and ensures the key requirements are addressed by reference to use cases. The Kanban board is especially useful in Task Driven Development, which the text covers. This textbook consists of two interleaving parts and features a single case study. Part one addresses the business and requirements perspective. The second integrates core project management approaches and explains how both requirements and management are connected. The remainder of the book is appendices, the first of which provides solutions to the exercises presented in each chapter. The second appendix puts together much of the documentation for the case study into one place. The case study presents a real-word business scenario to expose students to professional practice.
