Answer 1
There are various aspects which might result in failure of projects by 100 managers,
the aspects might be improper planning of the activities. Improper planning can prove to be a
major reason because it might result in missed deadlines, unrecognized risks and exceeding
of project budget. Another challenge that must be measured is discounting the entire idea of
risk organization (Kerzner, 2017, p. 166). If the venture has not decided a certain plan for risk
organization that is properly prearranged, the venture will not take any sort of liberty in the
process of undertaking proper actions suppose there has been any proof of failure which has
been experienced in the project (Cicmil, Lindgren & Packendorff, 2016, 193). Selecting
people who are not eligible for the job is another issue that is faced and might cause failure of
project. Unable to assign eligible members for an important activity would result in the non-
completion of work or the work carried out in an indecorous way.
Answer 2
Various influences which should be measured at the time of finalization of goals of a
particular venture such as nature of the goals, the objective should make sure that the goals
are achievable along with being specific. The goal should not be very bold in nature or a
sentence that is open ended, the goals should be fleshed with the use of 5Ws (Kerzner, 2017,
p. 164). the W’ s include where, who, which roles or individuals which have been involved,
the aspect of what represents the result obtained from the project. The why factor represents
the reason due to which the goal is chosen as a specific focus point. The factor of which
reflects the number of resources which would be needed, the factor of where characterises the
actual place in which the information relevant to the project could be protected or secured.

Project life cycle and project management process
Project life cycle Project management process
The project life cycle can be states as the
complete life of a particular project that is
being undertaken or would be carried out. It
starts from the initiation phase up to the
closure or end of the project.
The process of venture management is the
process which a certain individual passes
through for the purpose of delivering as well
as managing a particular project as well as
obtain results after the venture is completed.
The project lifecycle is responsible for
denoting a specific sequence of various
activities, these activities are responsible for
accomplishing the objectives of a certain
project. The activities maintain certain
sequence.
The process of project management is
responsible for describing the details related
to the ways by which the overall project will
be and the ways by which the activities will
be performed.
