Problem Statement: Project Control and Monitoring You are working on a manufacturing project having a budget of PKR 3,600,000 and expected time of its completion is one year. There is an ideal condition that your budget and work are evenly spread across the duration of the project that is twelve month. At the end of forth month, the senior management has called a meeting and invited all the stakeholders to brief about the status of the project. You being the PM of this project is giving the presentation to all the attendees and informed that project is on schedule and PKR 1,800,000 have already been spent on the project. Required: Calculate Cost and Schedule Variance What is SPI and CPI of the project? Estimate at completion and Estimated time to complete?

. 1. Project Scope & Constraints The new payroll system project has been approved. The new system will reduce clerical time and errors, improve morale in the payroll department, and avoid possible fines and penalties for noncompliance. The system must be installed by January 1st to meet new federal reporting rules, all expenses must be approved in advance, and the system should have a modular design if possible. The new system is expected to be announced in a year-end report if it is ready by mid-December. 1. Why is it important to define the project scope? How would you describe the scope of the payroll project in this case? 2. Based upon the project scope, identify the constraints, and determine its characteristics: present versus future, internal versus external, and mandatory versus desirable. 3. What questions would you ask to determine the feasibility of this project? 4. Given the project time constraints, could you shorten the typical steps in the preliminary investigation…
