Operations Management

The purpose of this project management plan is to better organize our dinner preparation skills and to practice efficient management of projects. The recipe chosen for dinner is Moroccan lamb tagine. A project manager is the person responsible for accomplishing the stated project objectives. Key project management responsibilities include creating clear and attainable project objectives, building the project requirements, and managing the triple constraint for projects, which are cost, time, and quality (also known as scope).

If a person does not have high levels of both responsibility and authority then they are better described as a project administrator, coordinator, facilitator or expeditor. (Frame 2003 102)
