5. Explain the
consequences of
project delays,
disruptions, and
changes to planned
activities and the
methods for claims
variations, liquidated

entitlements, and
arbitration.
Changes in the planning, disruptions, and project delays are some of the
common risks those need to be considered while managing the project risks.
These alterations could alternatively result in the cost escalations and thus,
affecting the project financially. However, time escalation can also be
considered as the opportunity for the manager to develop and effective and
efficient project plan.

6. Evaluate project
management tools
that help avoid or
provide conflict
resolution via
negotiated solutions.
Analysing the causes of the conflict being raised, executing the stakeholder
analysis considering the causes those could influence the overall project.
Consideration of the scope of the causes those could be caused due to the
conflict and performing the cause and effect chains can be a beneficial
approach. Analysis of the sectors those could possibly lead to conflict is another
efficient tool for conflict management.
