Therefore, it is essential for the new recruits to have the pastexperience for working on such a technologically advanced and critical project. Problem Solving Skills: The HPSS Project involves the implementation of the soundsystem that was not installed before. Further, it has to be assumed that none of the project teammembers has experience of working with the HPSS. Therefore the problem solving capability isessential for the new team members for coping with any new critical problems or issues facedduring the project.Good Communication: The HPSS project would require a large number of employeesspecialized in various domain working together for achieving considerable success for theproject.

5 HPSS PROJECTthe NCS’s authorities, the performance, cost and time has been provided with various prioritiesas mentioned and justified in the section below:Constrain: The time has been set as constrain priority for the project. As mentioned bythe NCS’s CEO, the project should be completed by 4th October 2017. Therefore, thecompletion time has been provided with the constrain priority for completion. Therefore, theschedule deadline for project completion for the implementation HPSS in the stadium has beenkept fixed. Enhance: The cost required for the project completion has been provided with enhancepriority as the financial budget for the project is tight but the NCS is open to accommodateexpenses if it provides value to the project. Therefore project budget can be optimized for thisproject.Accept: The project aims at providing enhanced quality of the stadium for attracting theinternational superstar for performing at the stadium. Therefore, the quality and performance ofthe project should meet the requirement and expectation of the NCS authorities. Therefore, theperformance and quality of the project should be accepted by the NCS authorities. TimeCostPerformanceConstrainEnhanceAcceptTable 1: Project Priority Matrix(Source: Created by Author)
