The Plan For The Unity Relocation Project

Various documents such as a project scope statement, one-time cost or recurring cost worksheet can be created to list costs associated with the project. Other methods include the time value of money, which refers to comparing present cash outlays to future expended returns, and a break-even analysis in order to determine economic feasibility.

risks and determine the likelihood and consequence of that risk occurring during the project. The

Risk management attempts to recognize and manage potential and unforeseen trouble spots that may occur when the project is implemented (Larson & Gray F, 2003). So, risk management will allow the project manager of “The Renovation of the Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport” identify as many risk event as possible, minimize their impact, manage response to those risks that do materialize, and therefore provide

The following short case will give you a good idea of how risks surface in business and project planning and what companies do about it. Consider that you are the Risk Manager as you look at this case, as it will be a good exercise for the time when you will be that Risk Manager!

Identify a minimum of 10 project risks and when each will occur in the project life cycle, and then determine their impact and probability of occurrence.

| Major risks that hinder the success of the project are based around the timeline. All micro projects and milestones are consecutive to each other. The largest variable within risk mitigation is the exterior construction. Risks can include but limited to: varance permits, weather, protesting, funds allocation, war, loss of materials, and human hazards and lawsuits/safety

It impacts the timeline, milestones, and schedule of the project. That in turn will also impacts the budget of the project.

The impact of Earned Value analysis in managing project cost control is undeniable. When EVM is implemented on a project, there are significant benefits to the project manager and the customer. Project manager benefits include increased visibility and control to proactively respond to issues that can impact project schedule, cost and objectives. Customer benefits include increase confidence in the PM’s ability to manage the project and track the progress of their project. Additionally, EVM provides a wealth of information for accountants. Accountants can use the data to report profitability to the investment community (Wilkens, 1991). There is a true connection between project management and corporate accounting. PMs use data provided by finance departments as inputs to determine cost performance of projects via EVM. This includes information used to create financial statements such as the cash flow statement, used to track the actual cash in hand. Said financial statements are to be crafted in compliance with the U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). GAAP impacts every item on a qualifying financial statement. GAAP guidelines dictates how financial statements are produced every step of the way, covering hundreds of different components, according to Stanford University’s Cardinal Money Management website (Gresham, 2012). GAAP encompasses basic accounting principles and guidelines and detailed standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board

Many risks are interrelated. Analyze the following compound risk: Unstable requirements with tight budget will likely cancel the project. Discuss the dependencies that exist between the two risks.

Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the United States entering World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in 1942. This order led to the evacuation of over 100,000 Japanese Americans, both citizens and immigrants, to Relocations Centers located away from the Western coast of the United States. Life inside the Relocation Centers was complicated not only by the living and working conditions, but also by the many social, political, educational, and cultural dynamics among the different generations of Japanese Americans. (Kessler, 1988). Once released from the centers, the United States, through the Resettlement Program urged the Japanese Americans to settle throughout the country in hopes for better

This case study analyzed five different projects Target Corporation had to decide on capital spent for which project created the most value and the most growth for the company and its shareholders. By analyzing the financial statements and exhibits of each project, I was able to determine the positives and negatives of each of these alternatives. The alternatives were Gopher Place, Whalen Court, The Barn, Goldie’s Square, or Stadium Remodel.

Spokane Industries has contracted Franklin Electronics for an 18 month product development contract. Franklin Electronics is new to using project management methodologies and have not been exposed to earned value management methodologies. Even though Franklin and Spokane have worked together in the past, they have mainly used fixed price contracts with little to no stipulations. For this project Spokane Industries is requiring Franklin Electronics to use formalized project management methodologies, earned value cost schedules, and schedules for reports and meetings. Since Franklin Electronics had had no experience with earned value management, the cost accounting group was trained in the methodology in order to bid for the

In order to perform project risk management effectively, the organization or the department must know the meaning of the risk clearly. With regards to a project, the management must focus on the potential effects on the objectives of the project, for example, cost and time (Loosemore, Raftery and Reilly, 2006). Risk is a vulnerability that really matters; it can influence the objectives of the project

This assignment is included in the 2014 session of the Risk Management module of the MSc in Project Management course at University of Aberdeen. The main purpose of the assignment is to demonstrate my understanding of the issues involved in Risk Management and how they are applied in my current Project environment. The assignment is split in to two questions as detailed below.
