Introduction
The unit helps to understand the advantages of project management tools and techniques. A case
study of Jointing Tech will be prepared, for implement plans and managing project. In addition,
necessary steps will be followed for executing the plan in the project. Jointing Tech is a leading
distributor of power cables and accessories developing power cable accessories of Cleat
terminate and join MV and LV cables. It maintains electrical infrastructure of UK and recently
Jointing Tech have target to develop a project for Trace heating division. This project will also
identify the strength and weakness and will develop a plan to improve the performance in the
project. As a project development manager, implementing project plan and communicating the
project plans with colleagues and stakeholders are necessary to conduct during plan
development.

1. Project management tools and techniques.
A project is series of sequenced plan, which are interrelated and managed by any
organisational manager for achieving specifying goals within limited time and monetary
resource. A methodology used to provide minimal framework to assist the manager of the
project. Therefore, the manager can make work in easy and effective way. They are using
various tool or techniques to facilitate efficient work management. The tool of the project
managements helps to display a roadmap, for easy communication, between team members
and the management body. The tools of the project development help to develop and increase
efficiency of product development management. The following tools will be used for this
project:-
 Project Libre/Ms Project- It is project management software consists of Java
programming language. Jointing Tech will use this software for procuring an
estimate of labor cost, time and amount of material usage. It has a ribbon style menu,
which helps to construct the project plan. Project libre and Microsoft project have
similar interface and usage. This software will help to estimate costing features like
labor, work time, usage of material and others.
 WBS- The work breakdown structure or WBS is used to deliver the plans of project
in to smaller and detailed components.WBS helps to schedule the estimated cost and
provide guidelines for project development. Jointing Tech is an electricity application
distribution, therefore it have different plans to execute. Therefore, work breakdown
structure will help to the firm to divide the activities into smaller components for
efficient outcome.
 Gantt Chart- Gantt Chart also helps to schedule the project, but it provides data in
form of bar chart. Through Gantt chart, a firm can estimate the start and end day of
the planned project. It also illustrates the relationship between involved activities of
plan. Jointing Tech has developed a project of trace heating service and equipment
provider. Therefore, Gantt chart will help to estimate the start date of installing
equipment of trace heating. It will also show the relationship of service provided

along with installed equipment. With the help of statistical bar chart Joint tech can
estimate the statically outcome from performed series of activities before executing
the plan practically.
 Critical Path- the Critical path is a tool used for analyzing the mathematical relation
between program evaluation and review techniques. It helps to calculate the longest
plan activity with required logistic, and discriminate between ‘critical’ and ‘float’
activities. It will help Jointing Tech to estimate the time of complementing the
project. The organization will use the program if required, as the tool is used when
any firm falls in a critical or in any complex situation. It helps to show actual slack
time distinguishing between real time of the activity and available time for the
activity. In long run, if Jointing Tech faces any complication during performing
activity, then Critical path will be best tool for implementation.
The project manager for effective outcome will execute Gantt chart, Work Breakdown structure,
network diagram, critical path. These components are required for conducting overall project in
disciplinary manner. The systematic structure of work breakdown will provide support to
conduct overall project within committed deadline. Jointing Technology will apply the above
mentioned project development tools for providing electricity sector service to core
customer .The main motto of the organization is to provide best technical advice to each
consumer (www.businessmag.co.uk).
2. A Plan for implementation of project:
In order to present the overall project plan and for the Jointing Technology can be explained by
the help of the Gantt chart and providing the overall framework for the planned activity. The
project has been estimated to start from 1st November 2018 and will be continued for upcoming
five months and twenty-five days. The activities are as follows:
