INTRODUCTION
Project management can be understood as a process of keeping track of team actions in
order to enabling for the team to more quickly reach the project's goals (Avidov-Ungar and
Herscu, 2020). The length, scope, and expense of the program are regularly monitored by
leadership as it begins and progresses. Getting a team altogether such that members can begin
cooperate and focus on program goals the organisation wants is among the most important duties
in projects management. The main aim of the study is to locate a historic, still-standing along
with low-rise structure that was built prior to actually 1992 and also numerors different elements
related to structure, like design, space planning, excellence, inadequacies, and other
characteristics, in an effort for gaining comprehensive understanding of the old residences in
England. Understanding of the fundamental idea will make it simpler to innovate further. The
Elizabeth Line, a portion of public transportation within United Kingdom which runs over 100
kilometres through multiple stops from Reading to Heathrow in the southwest, is the subject of
this analysis, which concentrates on the administration and maintenance of many critical
elements. The present-day train line was previously in place. The Elizabeth route would transit
the only totally modern, subterranean buildings constructed in England after the start of the
twentieth century beginning on May 17, 2022. As a portion of this assessment, the project can be
thoroughly analysed, and the key factors influencing performance and inability shall be
highlighted. It offers advice for those considering a career in the program of management &
lessons learnt during respective work. This project will also investigate the skills required to
complete work effectively.
MAIN BODY
An in-depth analysis of the selected project
The Crossing Railroad Route project called for the construction of a railroad to link the
reading and Heathrow in southwest with Sheffield and Abbey Wood in the southeast. The 100-
kilometer railroad line through the centre of England would include 41 stations. The cost of
project of the building was £17.8 billion in 2009; by 2014, it had decreased to £14.8 billion
(Baumann-Pauly and Nolan, 2016). There is requirement of unparalleled level of planning,
investigation, and building before beginning with the project. Due to detailed preparation, the
firm was enabled to choose the optimum costing & financial funding. The overarching plan also

includes a summary of the primary objectives for every program. The key program result
problems include the crossovers of rail road critical criterion, program's environmental impacts,
along with the economic strategy. The collaborators were given access of a programme
administration agreement that was highly crucial for project's endurance. The initiative took
great effort to recognise company's expansion associate and the projects implementation
associate as crucial participants. 2019 was previously the projected completion date for the
railroad level crossover's work. The crossing railroad linkage was constructed in the hopes that it
could promote morality and high norms.
Structural components
 The southeast portion's foundation comprises of a level and 3 dimensions. The hallway
on the southern end of the space is connected by two substantial staircase buildings which
are ahexagonal on the exterior and round on the interior. In addition to this, hallway also
includes a rectangular three-story entrance close to the southeast wing. There appear to be
3 magnificent stone piping climbs in the square, and further increases can be spotted on
the rooftops (Bouveret, 2018). These have carved ends and bottoms and are supported by
groups of hexagonal pillars along with appealing and well-designed set-offs. Following
Medieval or Elizabethan architectural elements include the marble chimneys parts, the
carved chimneys structure, the backdrops which can provide a selected portico over the
doorway, & decorative on the roofs. Moreover, the twin spinning frame staircases predate
the development of the typical Italian stairway, and the form of the hallway is obviously
consistent with its qualities as a middle-eastern building. The glass below the doorway
ceiling lighting is previously stated as being blocked by the ancient timber gateway that is
yet there and connected to a robust, softly curved framework.
 A building's structure is made up of a number of distinct elements, such as stonework,
pillars, vaults, windows, and ducts. A couple of simple instances of foundational
elements are the floor and the pillar. The terrace to the southwest of the building provides
the much more stunning views of the building, where the roofing, enormous chimneys
pillars, and remnant stairway structures come together to create a tranquil and
extraordinary view. The residences on the 2 phases are similar to the ones on the southern
edge, with the distinction of possessing only one glass on each & every column & also
one vent above top structure to illumination of the roof. At eastern end of the room,

opposite passageway going to primary stairs, rooms, and entrance to enclosed region,
there is a sizable enclosure which described as "a metal rack placed over a concrete
superstructure & apparently used as a pantry." Upper level was always uncovered from
left when the carpets from the pillars and the wall barriers were taken off. The eastern
part of the columns of this platform nevertheless bears the traces of murals (Büchler, ter
Hoeven and van Zoonen, 2020). Several of the dressed-up characters in the artworks
were sketched and are shown there. Green coloring seems to have been used regularly.
The southern and eastern borders of a distinct rectangular square also exist on the region's
south-western side. The area is surrounded by plants on all angles, and a body of water is
visible southwest of it.
Structure-free components
 The boards have 18 inches length, 11 inches breadth, and thickness of 11 inches. Also ,
there were a lot of speculations about the purpose of such niches which are frequently
witnessed within the courtyard borders of structures from 16th century. Stone border on
the entryway also varies from being round & also being covered in blossoms & greenery,
whereas a large section is embellished with tiny symbols and floras’.
 The apartment was once considered as a magnificent area, spanning within 5 metres by
21 feet, along with a furnace, walls, & doors looking east and west as well as the essential
furniture. It has been divided in half and entirely rebuilt. The eastern side of the flooring
has a large feature which views out over the compartments, the entrance to the inner
courtyard, and the hallway leading to the central staircase. It appears to be a worktop that
matches and has a steel tower that is raised on a cement wall entryway. A region
encompassing approximately 3 feet 6 inches elevation underneath the floor of the
compartment and the roofing ceilings above is where an entrance emerges whenever a
doorway from the south-western corridor enters into a deeper section over the entrance
(Cheung and Fernandez, 2020).
 However, it seems that the servants' staircases on the south-western part of the area have
undergone a comprehensive renovation. The primary wire-linked pillar, which has been
formed of three wooden branches & stretched from lower tier to rooftops, supported loud
Tudor-style staircase that interconnected with all sections of the structure. The cable
connections pillar of the spiralling stairs was its most prominent element. It is built by

stacking 2 oak branches on atop of one another. The cement structure was built over each
column after the stairways were cut from it. The Eastern Ring decayed and was destroyed
during late nineteenth century, while Southern Ring has remained undamaged & remain
open for guests now.
Factors that affect a program's success or failure
 Workers at the facilities are needed in order to properly operate and repair the Elizabeth
transportation wires and guarantee the efficient process of railway route system. Because
of enhanced personnel & facility growth, railroad line has operated efficiently, &
operating management has been strengthened to protect client value (de Bakker, Rasche
and Ponte, 2019).
 Additionally, railway lines contain the proper cleaning material, sterilizing equipment, &
ventilation which improve both hygienic conditions & bathroom facility.
 Because all Elizabeth locations are supposedly step-free from road to the facilities, a
stronger connectivity is needed. However, the railroad company intends doing away with
the levels there as well during the summertime of 2022.
Reasons why this initiative failed
This program has advantages, but it also currently faces a variety of systemic flaws which the
company has to appropriately solve, such as the following:
 The railways' development was delayed because of restrictions put on them throughout
the COVID-19 period because no additional maintenance can be done. The total efficacy,
in addition to the country's commerce and development, were negatively impacted as a
consequence. Such restrictions have initially resulted in terms of fewer consumer
contacts. People start to refrain from using public transit as they are terrified of it & think
it is hazardous to so many individuals riding in one go. This tragedy has had an effect on
all forms of transit, and as a result, commercial mass transit has declined. It was
important for both manufacturers and users to keep crucial processes running all through
the outbreak. It affects employee safety as well (Guldmann and Huulgaard, 2020).
 Safeguarding the ecology, as Elizabeth Route's operations disrupt peace with noise, light,
trash, and other contaminants. Each moment a railway is constructed or managed, the
ecology in the immediate area is changed that causes a decrease in the biological limits

that are inhabited by many different organisms. When these are employed, they destroyed
a large number of trees, which had effect on the ecology & various other animals. The
trash that the automobile industry generates is destroying the environment on a
worldwide scale. In effort to prevent problems, the management also suggests that
businesses work together on it (Hajzeri, 2020). Healthcare and security issues because
safety and well-being are the general public's top priorities, Elizabeth Railway encounters
a number of challenges while carrying out its responsibilities in the midst of outbreaks.
As a consequence, individuals could find it challenging to finish their work by the due
date because doing so will be bad for their career. Businesses should create and manage
its programmes in addition to ensure the fundamentals of safety & protection procedures
are upheld. They also want to develop long-term changes which would help business deal
with this problem as well as complete the program on pre-defined time.
Lesson learnt from this project
Knowing how to keep a record of, manage, and supervise several activities to ensure that
everybody collaborates to meet the programme aim is helpful. Learning how to deal with large
groups of people usually benefits (Ivanovich, 2020). For a plan to implement in successful
manner, evaluations of company's internal as well as external environments—that might well be
researched using different methodologies & techniques required. It is critical to assess the
project's general effectiveness, addition to its benefits and drawbacks, following an assessment.
The following subjects could also be looked at:
 It is discovered that potentially the ecology alters whenever a digital transmission method
is being employed, and also that mobility is the only characteristic that genuinely stands
constant. This suggests that innovation is really not moving forward. A corporation
should build its plans, methods, and procedures on its extremely comparable setting in
addition to effectively implement and grow its required and planned initiatives.
 Setting goals is essential since this strategy has shown the company's stakeholders the
value of allocating the appropriate duties in line with their timetables. Project-related
chores which appear to be required on a consistent timetable should be accomplished
with everybody's cooperation in order to prevent issues and disputes throughout the year
(Khmara and Kronenberg, 2018).

Suggestions for finishing the program effectively
While putting the plan into practice and executing it, the company could find the following
fundamental principles useful:
 For the duty to be successfully accomplished, the capacity to manage a successful team
of educated and experienced personnel is essential. If the team is to successfully complete
the activities and efforts which promote the project, establishing the plan's goals,
purposes, and ambitions is vital.
 After goals and procedures have been defined, programme managers have a duty to
regularly evaluate the performance of the people that comprise up their group.
Monitoring development and output is necessary for this. It helps client’s spot potential
operating challenges in the coming in order to develop strategies and initiatives to
address these as promptly and effectively as possible (Leppäaho, Plakoyiannaki and
Dimitratos, 2016).
Reflective program evaluation highlighting the abilities needed for a projects leader to succeed
Given how much this company depends on technology, it requires employees with the
necessary knowledge, credentials, and ability to manage technological difficulties. Evaluation of
local and international factors which affect program effectiveness is done using data gathering
and expert assessment. I've seen personally how collaboration enhances execution of the task,
and various interpersonal skills also allow people to cooperate in order to operate efficiently.
Several of the challenges and issues which the Elizabeth networking program encountered were
already detailed in the initial phase of the analysis. The extended report provided as an
illustration of how program management may be used to successfully complete large
undertakings. The Elizabeth Channel transit network was just not created with a variety of
program management concepts in consideration, and the following skills are essential for a
program administrator to be successful:
 A safety evaluation is essential because it helps uncover potential hazards which may
have a detrimental impact on the entire operation. I am able to manage tasks effectively
because of this talent. In addition to create goals and strategies to lessen such problems,
managers should evaluate the defects and errors from the early stages. Due to my skilful
data analyses, I was capable of coming up with a wide range of ideas that would benefit

the leadership and benefit the company in general and avoid risks (Malik and Nilakant,
2016).
 Projects administrators frequently require both technical expertise and interpersonal
abilities to be capable of comprehending the technical components which could affect
commercial operations. It helps to increase each team participant's performance whilst
utilising a number of cutting-edge methods and tools. I have the technical know-how to
use ample of methods to minimize attempt and pointless spending that may adversely
affect the project's financial situation.
 The regulatory authorities in charge of train transit pathways vastly underestimated
financial resources which required for the effort from start, and as a result of railway line
appeared destined to suffer a run of misfortunes from earliest stages of project. Along
with Calculation of the resources required to do work is a key requirement that if ignored,
can result in serious issues.
 Another key element of program management is planning that also includes effective
capital deployment & usage plan that forms basis for schedule required to complete work.
Since this Elizabeth Rail construction encountered ample of delays because of the
COVID-19 outbreak, this phase of construction was not sufficient in terms of that there
defining strategy in place in case of disruptions that have been regarded to be serious.
 In order to continue verifying that the program is progressing in accordance with the
stated schedules, monitoring is required at this phase of program management. There is
undoubtedly more to be accomplished in this regard, especially in light of the restrictions
placed on the Elizabeth Route. Because of the enormous costs and challenges, the project
is regarded as a magnificent but tough effort (McKenzie and Sansone, 2019).
 Because administrators has to be ready to deliver information and solutions as required,
efficient information transfer is essential for program administration. I was enabled to
communicate with the other team members in a way which reduced the chance of
misunderstandings and increased productivity. Through clear dialogue, I was managed to
build strong bonds with my team members and fulfil individual needs, enabling everyone
to contribute their invaluable talents and knowledge to the effective accomplishment of
the planned phase.

 I will use sociological and reasoning to study the key details and ideas such that I might
deal with any issues which might develop and jeopardise the operations. I was capable of
quickly analysing a situation utilising my mental skills, and I was prepared to apply a
number of strategies and procedures to logically manage any problems that might arise.
The development of logical introspection could assist in the development of the
execution, comprehension, appraisal, & innovative skills needed for effective managing
projects. This capability further assists in understanding concept that is necessary for a
proposal to succeed. I can effectively engage and educate people since, if everybody
followed the instructions, the programme would be capable of achieving its key goals. It
helps in enhancing effectiveness and productivity while also aiding with the transfer of
power and the enforcement of duty wherein appropriate to assure a smooth movement of
activities. I could manage tasks which are obviously important from the start because I
could evaluate them, and I could likewise instruct team participants to pass on the
essential skills (Shi, Lee and Whinston, 2016).
CONCLUSION
According to the above data, effective program management necessitates has a wide range
of skills, techniques, knowledge and procedures. According to the aboe-assessment, projects
managers need to utilize a wide range of technologies & knowledge to improve efficiency and
competence of everyone when working on particular venture. Allocating duties to group
members such that everyone could accomplish things to the greatest of their capabilities is given
substantial significance in program management. To be competent of completing the work as
intended, stakeholders should define the programme aims, intents, and funding earlier on. In
addition for the team members to effectively plan their activities, the program administration
must ensure that they are informed of their individual responsibilities, objectives, and
requirements. This part provides a detailed evaluation of idea as well as details on both of its
advantageous along with disadvantageous features. This plan incorporates knowledge that might
has been gained from program as well as extra advice which might enable the program
administration to carry out the program as effectively as feasible. Several of the skills required to
sustain effective program administration are described in this assessment.
