Question : (TCO B) You are the project manager for three projects. You are about to estimate costs for these three projects. Given the below information on each project, recommend an appropriate estimation method and justify your answer for each.

3. Increase new business revenue by $5 million within the first 6 months of project completion by having an increased awareness and knowledge of customer needs, improved reputation, and the best blend of customer and project knowledge

Question 1. Question : (TCO B) Good project cost estimations are critical to a successful project. With that in mind, compare and contrast parametric estimating and vendor bid analysis as cost estimation techniques on a project. Please provide an example of each.

The earned value analysis has led to see the project will control the actual budget, which is $18,000. The actual cost at the period 4 totaled to be $7,050, and total of earned value at period 4 is $7,750. The estimate at completion for typical is $22,550. These variances show that this project will exceed the original budget of $18,000, so we are still exceeding the project’s original budgets. The SPI is less than a value of 1, which means that the project will also over schedule and activity plans. The requests immediate actions from the third-party company.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS After setting the entire project to 40% complete on Oct 1, 2008 we can see that the project is behind schedule. The schedule variance of the entire project is $ (736,599) and Schedule performance index is at 0.68, which indicates that for every $1.00 spent in the project we are only getting $0.68 worth of work done. Since we do not have actual cost data, the MS Project calculates the budget is under budget by a negligible $80.

(b) In addition to price fluctuations, you are also (a) What are the primary types of data collected by such a system? (b) What are some of the benefits of PCAS? 3. (TCO F) Earned Value The following data were obtained from a project to design a new software package: (a)  Calculate the Cost and Schedule Variances and Indexes (CV, SV, CPI, SPI) for tasks A, B, C, D, and E.

Inadequate funding is a major factor in almost all projects and could cause lengthy setbacks or recalculations to scope. Project cost estimates will include any or all of the following; staffing, outsourcing, equipment, services, travel, communication, or financing. The overall project budget will be developed after considering these factors and then after a complete picture is given, it may be determined that the more money is required for completion. Another benefit to accuracy on a cost management plan is the ability to study the outcome after the project. Trends, unknown risks, and inconsistencies become apparent for future projects and should be kept on file

Either it needs to be explained clearly on the website that undesirable weather will not entitle any customer to a refund or to change or cancel their booking without penalty; or the policy must be clear in whatever the company decides is fair. For example, it may state that if the weather is unpleasant can change (but not cancel) the booking to another time.
