Question :

(TCO B) You are project manager for three
different projects.

Project A: This project is behind schedule by 12 weeks. It was to have
been completed in 3 months. The sponsor has additional funds to help
complete the project on time if needed but does not want to increase risk
to the project.
Project B: This project is scheduled to take 28 weeks to complete. You
are in the planning stage of the project. You need to reduce the schedule
for this project by 9 weeks. This project has a number of predecessors
that were created by the project team’s preference. The sponsor insists
on having all the work done on time without unduly increasing risk or
costs to the project.
Project C: This project is in the execution stage of the project. It is
behind schedule by 8 weeks; it was scheduled to be completed in 10 weeks.
The sponsor is desperate to accomplish something on this project. The
budget is limited to the original amount, and all soft predecessors have
already been removed.

For each of the project above, choose an appropriate schedule compression
technique. Explain your choice.

CIPD assignment is not my cup of tea. That’s the reason I sought out this place suggested by my friend. I would say that the writers of this site are really admiring. I was assigned the best CIPD writer that solved all my issues. He explained to me the difficult topics so well that now I am able to talk on those topics eloquently. I owe my writer a huge thanks and praise! And yes, I would recommend other students as well to come to instaresearch.co.uk for the top CIPD assignment help.
