Reza served as the Senior Project Controls Engineer for various projects with AECOM. He initiated, planned, and controlled time, cost, resources and risks of a variety of large-scale projects for the Transport, Port & Marine, Water & Infrastructure, and Oil & Gas groups. Among the projects assigned to Reza, he was a part of the planning and controlling team of the Rio Tinto’s mega project of Simandou Iron Ore, valued at $20 billion. Accomplishments included:
• Used PertMaster (Primavera Risk Analysis) and Primavera P6 to develop project and program baseline schedules. Provided schedule change analysis and Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis to find the root cause of slippages.
• Launched and led a new project controls improvement initiative

Describe common practices to estimate the duration of project activities as well as real reasons that cause project delays.
Michael can throw as hard, maybe harder, then any other 12 year old alive. His fastballs being clocked at eighty miles-per-hour. You would think the worst was behind when his dad, brother, and he immigrated from Cuba, but I don't think anyone can predict what is in store for Michael Arroyo. They live in the Bronx and Michael is a huge Yankee fan; especially his idol, Cuban-born pitcher El Grande. Michael lost his mother to cancer back in Cuba at a young age, and his father died of a heart attack a few months after coming to America leaving his seventeen year-old brother Carlos and him living on there own.
Event chain methodology, a new way of scheduling is an uncertainty modeling and schedule network analysis technique that is focused on identifying and managing events and event chains that affect project schedules. Event chain methodology helps to mitigate the negative impact of psychological heuristics and biases, as well as to allow for easy modeling of uncertainties in the project schedules.
The critical activities are not behind schedule and the task the critical tasks are dependent on “Slab on Grade” is complete. Since the critical tasks are not behind schedule it is not safe to assume that the project will complete on time.

Brian director of Pacifica Radio broadcast a special 1968 recording of Carlos Castaneda where he talks about his first book the teaching of Don Juan. He also plays the music of Lila Downs and paired her to Carlos Castaneda. Brain first plays a song that she has won an award for. Brain then switches from Downs back to Castaneda, were he show an old interview Carlos was interview by Theodore Roszak in 1968 in KPFA radio station. He talks about when he first meet Don Juan and how he felt like he stood out and he was confused because he didn’t know what they were talking about when he was there. He spends a lot of time with him he taught him how to set up different type of traps and how to trap rattle snake and prepare them. He then takes a small

In almost every business, project management is critically important. The critical path method (CPM) will provide a timeline for the project manager for when tasks should be completed. In addition, providing a deadline and the negative effects it will have on the following successors if not completed on time. These many task are interdepended. Therefore, the CPM provides the start and finishes times of the tasks, and identifies the few tasks on the critical path that the project manager should observe to determine which task needs the most attention. Already discovering and incorporating the details the task or assignments may require, CPM calculates all task times, which can be measured in hours, days, weeks, and months. For any unintended manually input errors, a warning message will be provided. Including an automatic successor generator, task numbering comment, and data validation, makes it easier on the project manager.
This movie is a real story about native people’s outstanding victory against the Western Colonial power. The people of Bougainville excited a riot against the huge mining corporation Rio Tinto Zinc (RTZ), and won in spite of a military occupation and its blockade. RTZ determined mining in Bougainville, and mined more mineral resources than they bargained for. The island’s people recognized that their environmental ecosystem had been ruined RTZ. However, RTZ declined to recover the ruined environment, and refused to give any compensation for it. So, the people decided to protect their living foundation, Mother Nature, and to stop the outside intervention. They armed themselves, and closed down the mine. The Papua New Guinea Army(PNGDF) was mobilized in order to put down the riot by force. The people needed a better defense against the outside pressure. So, they newly organized Bougainville Revolutionary Army(BRA), and started to fight with bows, sticks, stones, and etc., which are made by themselves. They could maintain the control of their island against the well-armed PNGDF. When the chance of victory in this war started to tilt toward BRA, the PNGDF surrounded Bougainville by gunboat blockade to gain the submission. However, the blockade was unsuccessfull. The island’s people succeeded in an environmental and spiritual revolution. They started to
The Cirio de Nazare is a candle Procession that happens in Brazil and currently brings together more than 2 million and 300,000 people. It used to last over 9 hours but now, due to better planning by the government, it lasts way less. The procession goes from the Metropolitan Cathedral to the Basilica of Nazareth, which is about 5 kilometers from each other.
In field of project management, there are a plethora of mechanisms under perpetual reevaluation. One specific segmentation of project management under such scrutiny pertains to cost duration, which is the time and monetary costs of completing individual tasks within the project’s critical path (IBM Knowledge Center, 2016). The process of monitoring and evaluating the time and financial impacts of each task is referred to as cost duration analysis (IBM Knowledge Center, 2016). A chief concern of cost duration analysis is identifying tasks within the project’s critical path which can reduce project duration (PMI, 2013). A common approach to reducing a project’s duration is task “crashing” (PMI, p.181). According to The Project Management Institute (2013) crashing refers to the process of methodical determining the financial value of increasing a critical path task’s resources in order to decrease project duration (p.181).
Project Execution and Control Phase has a direct correlation to project progress and stakeholder 's expectations. If the minor issues are not noticed, they impact cost, schedule and risk and see the project from the Project Plan, thus
A key activity in project management is assessing project constraints. A project has three limitations: scope, budget and schedule. These limitations are project constraints because they are sensitive to change and have an impact on project risk. Risk is exposure to uncertain outcomes. Project constraints are mutually exclusive. If one constraint changes it affects the others and adjustments may be required to compensate and manage risks. For example, a delay in the schedule can increase the risk that the project will not finish on time. Time is money and delays have a negative impact on the budget. To
