You are the project manager of the BTU AVIC project in Bolgatanga. As a result of the ongoing pandemic, you are responsible to ensure the project does not overly delay among other objectives. Required:a. Discuss five strategies for reducing the critical path of the BTU AVIC project.b. Explain five ways you can resolve the problem of resource allocation on the project. c. Using the Four-Stage Process of risk management discuss how risks could be managed on the ongoing BTU AVIC project. Identify three potential categories of team conflicts and how you will resolve such conflicts
One of the main outputs of project cost management is cost estimate. Project managers normally prepare several types of cost estimates for most projects. Examine the situations where you would prepare rough order of magnitude (ROM), budgetary and definitive cost estimates for an information technology project.

Two new Internet site projects are proposed to a young start -up company. Project A will cost $250,000 to implement and is expected to have annual net cash flows of $75,000. Project B will cost $150,000 to implement and should generate annual net cash flows of $52,000. The compnay is very concerned about their cash flow. Using the payback period, which project is better, from a cash flow standpoint?
For this assignment, you will design a risk management plan for a project titled “prolonged waiting times for patients in a large outpatient hospital” that will include the following elements: Risk Register/Matrix (list of at least 5 (five) risks along with the associated impact and probability scores along with risk score) Contingency plan (list of any risks you will plan for in advance along with what triggers the contingency). Be sure to include any information useful to stakeholders on the rationale for the creation of these elements as well as any outside references supporting the risk management plan.
Uncertainties and risks are always associated with large real world projects and may obstacle and threaten projects in some ways. Failure in accurately identifying the project risks increases the total cost and may cause social and environmental damages as well as casualties during project execution. The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical programming model for selecting risk response strategies for construction projects. All risk response strategies for the analysed project have been identified and a mathematical model is presented based on project iron triangle; time, cost and quality to obtain the optimal risk response strategy for the construction project.Uncertainties and risks are the inherent characteristics of the real world construction projects. The project risk management deals with identifying and controlling the risks before they occur. Various risks happen in project execution phase which may reduce the performance efficiency and even cause the project failure.…

Constraints in project management are some important factors that everyone must work within to achieve the project goals and unfortunately, these are unavoidable. As a Project Manager, being aware of the limitations is essential in directing project path and ultimately reaching success. That is why, by knowing project constraints is such an important task to be performed at the planning stage. There are 6 Project Constraints that we need to know. Explain the following constraints in your own words and make sure to identify 2 applications / connections / linkages of such constraint with your WBS. Write your answer on the space provided below.
Although project costs are generally estimated on the initial assumption that there will be no modifications in design that would necessitate changes in the physical work or relative changes in domestic or international prices, sound project planning requires that provisions called contingency allowances be made in advance for possible adverse changes in physical conditions or prices that would add to the baseline costs. Discus the two categories of contingency allowances provided for in project planning.
The project manager is tasked with the responsibility of balancing project constraints to increase the probability of project success, and ensure that the project meets its objectives.

This newly identified risk is currently not in the risk register. As a project manager, list and briefly explain the steps you will take to manage this risk.c) As a project manager, you will be required to implement risk response plans for your projects.
