The external environments
The success of an enterprise depends on many factors. This applies not only to the internal environment of the company but also to external factors that often do not depend on the actions of the company, but they have to be constantly taken into account.
An analysis of the factors of the external environment of direct impact, or the microenvironment of the organization, is necessary in order for the enterprise to operate successfully and take a strong position in the market and, which is important, periodically evaluate its activities. In the course of such an analysis, both the strengths and the weakest sides of the enterprise are manifested. The factors of the external environment of direct impact include the following elements: consumers of the company’s products, competitors, and suppliers.
The internal environments
Any modern enterprise, and especially a large international company, which is a chain of KFC restaurants, is a complex system, the effective management of which requires a variety of tools and methods used aimed primarily at achieving specific goals and objectives at the lowest cost. The most important element of the internal environment of the project is its participants.
In order to characterize the structure of the restaurant staff and its professional and qualification level, it is worth using a number of auxiliary materials, among which the personal files of employees and enterprise statistics will be especially informative.
All employees of the KFC Capital restaurant can be divided into two categories:
- 1 are restaurant managers; this includes the director of the restaurant, his deputies, shift managers;
- Category 2 is production staff, which includes coaches, team members, trainees, and gym workers.
The role of the project manager
A project manager is a specialist who manages the project as a whole. The main functions of a manager are to develop a plan, gather a team, and set up work processes on a project. In addition, the task of the project manager is to provide feedback between the team and the customer, remove obstacles for the team, and control quality so that the project is completed on time, efficiently, and within budget.
The project manager is responsible for:
- Identify, track, manage, and resolve critical project issues.
- Timely dissemination of project information to all interested parties.
- Identification, management, and mitigation of project risks.
- Ensuring acceptable quality of the project result.
Proactive change management ensures that only those deliverables that have been agreed upon are developed until the relevant changes are approved according to a formal process.
Determine and collect metrics to understand how the project is progressing and whether the final results are successful.
The Methodology
The basis of the methodology for opening a restaurant is the presence of its concept. When opening a KFC franchise, this item is greatly simplified since the concept of the institution is obviously clear. Based on the brand and concept, the establishment should exude its own special atmosphere, bringing the visitor the pleasure of staying. This makes the experience of visiting a restaurant memorable and meaningful, making guests want to come back later.
There are several methodologies according to which a project can be implemented: Waterfall, Agile, and hybrid. The Waterfall methodology is divided into three distinct phases. First, you need to collect and analyze the requirements, then develop a solution, implement the solution, and fix problems if they arise. Agile is completely opposite to the Waterfall methodology in approach and ideology. A hybrid approach is a combination of Waterfall and Agile methodologies. All the best that is in these methodologies is inherent in it. It is a flexible yet well-structured method that can be used for a variety of projects.
The PMIS
The project management information system (PMIS) is an important component of project management, which significantly increases its effectiveness in the organization. It may include various modules depending on the tasks to be solved within the project.
The main tasks of information systems are:
- providing a single information space for participants in the organization’s project activities and ensuring the convenience of communications between them,
- providing access to complete information on ongoing projects,
- ensuring the acceleration of the collection of information on project activities in a formalized electronic form, its aggregation and analysis,
- reducing the complexity of collection and analysis, as well as providing additional analytical capabilities.
