2. Scope management and its tools
When a project is started, there are different activities which are performed during the
same time. It is considered as a scope of project and at the end of that particular task, all these

areas are covered. Planning, controlling, etc. are various acts which have to be carried out by the
project manager of refereed enterprise. All these activities ensure achievement of goals so that

3 Importance of plotting a Gantt chart and identifying critical path
When a project is carried out, there are a number of activities which are needed to be
performed so that the final results are accomplished. Distinct tasks have their own importance
and demands time as well as attention accordingly. Gantt chart is an effective tool that helps in
doing planning of duration and also which activity to perform first and which later. In this way,
more attention can be given to those tasks which are complex and require much time investment.
JKB Bloggins wish to expand their operations in new areas of London and has a time limit of
March 2008. Therefore, they have to take assistance of these tools so that project will get
completed on time and the quality of same will be maintained. Much time can be saved through
this process as those activities which are of less importance are eliminated while constructing the
Gantt chart.
Critical path analysis is an effective manner through which systematic planning can be
done. It involve complex actions to be taken as the whole work is categorised in a particular
order which is set as per the priority of the same. CPA method is understood with the help of
designing own template and hence calculating the total time requirement of the work.

used. Some of them are discussed as below:
