Within shortest possible time after the contract signature, the contractor shall in cooperation with telecom industry (a joint team) produce a detailed project implementation plan. Thereafter, the project implementation plan shall be updated with additional information each 3 months.

The project implementation plan shall include all basic milestone activities for each site, such as site survey as agreed by telecom industry and Contractor, delivery of plans, start of installation works at site, completion of installation works and testing, and handover of installations to telecom industry. All dependent site installation activities shall be identified. It will be expected that all installation works at one site shall be covered in one visit to the site only.

The project implementation plan shall also include the activities/deliverables, for which telecom industry is responsible. Telecom industry's activities shall also be defined by milestones.

The contractor shall use a computer-based project management system for the generation and updating of the project implementation plan.

Project Management for Employees

In the telecom sector, very unique management is offered with employees.Employees in the telecom sector are never reliable towards their jobs. From the day the employee joins the telecom sector, the project manager starts telling that your job is in danger. Work properly otherwise your job can go. That's why the employee joins the telecom company from the day he works hard to save his job.

Employee's heartbeat starts to increase as the project ends.After completion of the project, the same employee is removed from the job for stating bad performance.It is also true that in the telecom sector, below the manager level, employees do the best work and do the hard work. But the job of these employees is the most incredible, the ones that work best.

The worst situation in the entire world is in the telecom sector because there is no trust,no truth in this sector. In other word we can say that it is a lying sector. Working employee at the lower level in telecom sector, blood sucked and drank by managers.

I hope the company takes some concrete steps for the lower level employees.Those who work very hard and honestly for the company will at least be good towards them. Thanks for reading my article FTTH Project Management.
