INTRODUCTION
Project management plan is a critical task that entails designing, coordinating, and directing
personnel needed to complete a project successfully. It adds leadership to initiatives in additional
to management. It also guarantees that project scheduling is in place to achieve specific priorities
(Wei and et.al, 2020). This report based on the project of California High-Speed Rail is a public
sector development high-speed rail line being built in the United States state of California. Its
purpose is to integrate the Anaheim Geographic Transportation Intermodal Centre point in New
York and Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles with the Marketing automation Metro
Station in San Francisco via the Upper Midwest, supplying a 380-mile one-seat trip among
Union Station and San Fran in 2 hours and 40 minutes (610 km). Further expansions (in Phase 2)
are intended to link southern to San Diego County sites via the Inland Empire and northward to
Sacramento. As evidence becomes available, it will be deployed in a number of self-sustaining
portions.
PROJECT SCOPE
Project objectives: The High Speed project's objectives are to provide a transition towards low-
carbon transportation while also creating opportunity for people to made progress condition
where it is most needed. The specifications for the project's scope, which is a high-speed railway,
are as tries to follow:
Expected quality: The technology will go from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in less
than 3 hours at rates of up to 200 miles per hour. The network would ultimately stretch 800 miles
to Sacramento and San Diego, with up to 24 terminals. Furthermore, the Authority is
collaborating with partner nations to undertake a government rail reconstruction strategy that will
spend billions of dollars in local or regional rail network to satisfy the state's infrastructure needs
in the twenty-first decade.
Cost: According to the 2022 strategic plan, the complete 500-mile high-speed line connecting
Los Angeles and San Francisco will account for up to $105 billion, up from $100 billion 2 years
ago. Whenever taxpayers authorised a debt to assist in building the railway in 2008, the
authorities predicted that it would cost $33 billion (Fan and et.al, 2018).
