Assessment task 2: Manage project HR, information and communication

The group will need the following human resources with specific skills to perform the required tasks. Table 1 shows a summary of human resource skills and tasks.

The table 2 shows a summary of project resource persons and timelines

The HRM tools and techniques during the project will be useful in reporting, allocating tasks to respective persons. The HRM components will be useful in reviewing and assessing performance in addition to providing responsibility and authority to the employees in respective positions (Armstrong, 2010).

Management and distribution of information requirements is critical for the group during its discussions. The information required include: time for movement in different stages, information’s to be gathered, and role of each members during the excursion. The various stakeholders need to be incorporated during the communication process. The stakeholders will show and distribute information among them (Hurwitz, M., & Hurwitz, S, 2013). The input will be obtained from the stakeholder groups through forum groupings, formal meetings and discussions. The project communication and information system plan is shown in table 3.

Table 3 communication plan

The project group roles will include: conceptualizing of idea, planning of idea, execution of project, monitoring and evaluation of project and closure information’s. The project roles will be measured based on the following key indicators: original idea generated, budget plan created, implementation of project, quality standards maintained, and project closed successfully. The information gathered will be arranged, coded and stored in a project information system, with an enabled back up in place. The information will be able to be retrieved and disseminated to different stakeholders (Ye, Chen, Sanjeev Jha, and Kevin C. Desouza., 2015).

Data auditor analysts will be chosen to help in editing, modifying and controlling data. The process will ensure that no new or data is lost during the process. The communication network adopted for the project will be a top down communication network from the top management to the lower management (Bryde, D., Broquetas, M., & Volm, J. M., 2013). The communication and information system issues include: conflict among stakeholders, distortions of communication. The management will ensure a communication plan be followed and maintained. The development and training of employees will be done using a on door training system. The employees will be measured based on the targets set to them to achieve and appraisal done to ensure results are maintained.

HRM method, tool or technique

A human resource plan will be implemented to ensure that individual performance and project effectiveness is achieved. The performance of individuals will be done using appraisal process by assessing each of the individual using a rating scale (employee performance appraisal rating). A committee will be formulated to ensure that they listen to employee’s grievances and provide counseling, conflict resolution and advisory roles in projects (Nazari, 2016). The inter project and intra project resource conflict will be solved by using conflict management plan with aid of conflict management tools and techniques.

The information technology becomes a useful component that ensures project management needs and tasks are taken in consideration. The information system allows individuals to get access to information and communication needs. Formulating the information system enables stakeholder’s needs to be met and reduce conflict where necessary. The lessons learnt are that a information system require a proper systematic planning process with stakeholders be consulted to ensure communication and information system is implemented (Heagney, 2016).

The group is disbanded after a closure meeting has been done during the closure meeting discussions of the challenges, achievements and lesson learnt will be done. All the members will be consulted to make closure approval. The various human resources addressed included: human resource planning, job appraisals, and job performance criteria’s have done using information’s and communication techniques. The study recommends that projects have a fully integrated human resource management information system (Bourne, 2015).
