Project risk will be managed using the following strategies which interact with each other to increase the likelihood and impact of positive events:
Time
* Store #1 is the biggest storefront of the owner’s franchise so this location will take slightly longer to restructure than the other stores since it is larger.
*Store #2 will also take slightly longer because the employees will still adjusting to what the best methods are for restructuring. This extra ½ of a week will also provide extra time to overcome any potential obstacles.

Integration Management Plan
Integration Management Plan
The Hallmark Card & Gift Shop Store Restructuring Project is being undertaken as part of a plan to optimize the total customer shopping experience, thereby subsequently boosting sales. The project will result in the creation of a more efficient store layout that will increase the ease and speed with which customers are able to locate merchandise, while simultaneously improving team member productivity through the installation of new checkout terminals.
In order to ensure smooth execution of this venture, we recognize that an effective project integration approach must be employed. With this in mind, we have established an Integration Management Plan that will provide a consistent, cohesive process for initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the project (NV H.I.E., 2012). Adoption of this plan further requires our commitment to the following objectives:
1. The adaptation, maintenance and execution of all project plans and processes during project startup (NV H.I.E., 2012)
2. The establishment, and clear communication and maintenance of the project’s overall organizational structure (NV H.I.E., 2012)
3. The involvement, where appropriate, of all relevant internal and external project stakeholders in the definition, maintenance, and execution of the project’s management processes (NV H.I.E., 2012)
4. The establishment and maintenance of the project’s technical and administrative environment (NV H.I.E., 2012)
5. The integration and coordination of all associated project plans and processes (NV H.I.E., 2012)
6. The execution of closure activities for all the project’s plans and processes during project shutdown (NV H.I.E., 2012)
Project Integration Approach
· Scope Definition and Management:
The project scope statement will define the precise parameters of the project, while the Scope Management Plan will explain the method and specific tasks that will be utilized during the process of executing and managing those parameters throughout the duration of the project. This area of focus also covers the change management process.
· Time and Time Management:
The project work schedule identifies the key tasks, activities, timelines, and resources that have been defined for the execution of this project. The Schedule Management Plan details the methodology for managing, executing and controlling the project schedule to ensure timely completion of the project (PMI, 2013).
· Costs and Cost Management:
The project estimates and budget describe the total anticipated project expenditure, while the Cost Management Plan explains the project team’s approach towards planning, financing, managing and controlling project costs to ensure that the project is completed within the agreed upon budget (PMI, 2013).
· Quality and Quality Management:
The quality segment focuses on a discussion of cost-benefit analysis, quality standards and deliverables and overall quality expectations (PMI, 2013). The Quality Management Plan identifies the project team’s methodology for ensuring that the project’s end result meets Hallmark store’s quality standards, and satisfies all other identified project goals.
· Communications Management:
The Communications Management Plan identifies the methods and processes that will be utilized to ensure the efficient creation, dissemination, retrieval, storage, management, controlling and monitoring of all project information (PMI, 2013).
· Human Resources Management:
The Human Resources Management Plan will discuss the project team members and their respective roles, as well as the overall approach towards organizing, managing, and leading the project team throughout the duration of the project.
· Procurement Management:
The Procurement Management Plan describes the chosen methodology for managing and controlling the purchasing or acquisition of all products and services required for project completion.
· Risk and Risk Management:
The Risk Assessment Form and Risk Breakdown Structure explain the identified project risks, while the Risk Response Matrix and the Risk Management Plan discuss the project team’s
approach towards planning, monitoring, controlling and mitigating risk throughout the duration of this project.
· Stakeholder Management:
The project’s stakeholders will be identified, and the Stakeholder Management Plan will further describe the processes that the team will engage in to communicate with and engage stakeholders in project decisions and activities (PMI, 2013).

In addition to the above, you are also responsible for creating overview/summary PowerPoint slides for each of these 3 sections. (No more than 1-2 slides per section, you should have the PowerPoint format in one of the last emails I sent...
(These slides will take the place of an Executive Summary)
