(Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Using all paths through the project network, estimate the probability that the project will be complete within 11 weeks. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)A project that you are managing is into six months of its accomplishment andthe planned duration is also six months. You are now reviewing the projectstatus. The actual cost of Activity A and B are RM 200,000 and RM 100,000respectively. The planned value for Activity A and B are RM 180,000 and RM80,000 respectively. The Activity A is 100% complete whereas Activity B isonly 75% complete. (a) Formulate the problem to determine whether the project is on-time and on-budget after six months using the Earned Value Analysis (EVA) method. (b) Generate the expected “cost at complete” and “time at complete” to finishthe project at this pace. (c) Present two initiatives to be undertaken by the project manager to improvethe situation based on Q4(b).

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. List and explain any five (5) typical outputs of this process.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.
- 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 conflictsBruno has a capital investment project that could start immediately. The project will require a machine costing $2.4 million. The total discounted value now of the cash inflows from the project will be either $2.6 million or $1.9 million with equal probability. The risk-free rate is 3%. Instead of starting immediately, the project could be delayed until one year from now to gain more market information. Its total discounted cash inflows at that time will be known as either $2.6 million or $1.9 million, with certainty. a) What is the present value of the option to delay? b) The supplier of the machine has offered to deliver it (if required) in one year's time at a price of only $2 million if Bruno pays a non-refundable deposit now. What is the maximum the firm should pay as a deposit now? What type of real option does this represent for Bruno? Identify the specific components of the option contract.Development of Version 2.0 of a particularaccounting software product is being considered by JoseNoguera’s technology firm in Baton Rouge.
