INTRODUCTION
Project management is the manner in which an individual arranges and controls resources
needed to complete a task. People who oversee projects are referred to as Project Managers. A
plan is a work piece that is not a procedure, or an activity (Cicmil and Gaggiotti, 2018). It has got
a beginning an end and goals. The purpose of project planning is to enable others to anticipate
the risks and obstacles that may lead to project completion. It implements established
methodologies and utilizes new software tools to schedule, track and interrogate people,
processes and other elements required to make a successful of your project. This report is based
on the collage event where they refurnished their class room and provide technical advancement
in the teaching. This assessment cover several topics such as project requirement, contract,
project need etc.

PART A
Methodology Comparison
Waterfall Model: Originally developed in a published paper in 1970 by Dr Winston W.
Royce, a waterfall model is a method of software design. The waterfall model explains that a
systematic sequence of steps must be made over the life cycle of software development (SDLC),
just like the rippling steps down a gradual waterfall. Although the waterfall model's popularity
has diminished in favour of further agile methodologies in recent years, the logical essence of the
incremental approach used in the waterfall method could not be ignored and it remains a
traditional design methodology in the sector (Clark, 2018). That model is only used when the
criteria are well-known, simple and set. Definition of the Product is manageable, technology is
taken for granted and project is running low. It is a project management approach in which a
project is finished in separate stages and progressively moved towards greatest launch to
customers. There are several positive as well as negative aspects which are as follow:
This model is user friendly and easy to recognize. Thanks to the stiffness of the template, it is
simple to control-each step has clear outcomes and an approval process. Stages are organized
and finished in this design, one at a time. In smaller projects, the waterfall approach works
well where specifications are well specified and well established. When software is in the
development stage, it is very hard to go back and modify anything that in the design stage has

not been well thought out. During the life-cycle no functioning software is created until late.
High risks and uncertainties. Not a good business model for large projects or object-oriented
ones. Poor design for long and protracted projects. Not ideal for projects where there is a
moderate to high chance of adjustment to requirements.
Parallel Model: Parallel computing is a form of processing in which several simulations or
system executions are performed simultaneously. Big problems can also be broken down into
smaller ones that can then be resolved simultaneously. Parallel computing has many different
aspects such as bit-level, instruction-level, details, and project parallelism. Parallelism has
already been used in heavy-performance computing, but because of the physical limitations
prohibiting frequency scale it is gaining wider interest. Parallel model developed by C W.
Eriksen and his colleagues in 1960. It allows an alternate description of a project's state such as
different period or in a hypothetical condition. Enterprise Programs are information systems
gathering knowledge about the state of the planet. The execution of concurrent project activities
allows a project manager to perform several actions at once and produce a completed assignment
within a limited time frame. With the option of running concurrent projects, team leaders and
supervisors have little or no scope for error with completing steps along the vital path of the
project (Greene and Stellman, 2018). There are several strong or weak points such as Parallel
processing saves time and programs can be performed in a smaller wall-clock period. Solve
bigger problems in a short time. Parallel computing is much best suited to designing, simulating
and recognizing complex, real-world processes as compared with serial computing. Using
concurrent computation helps you to solve numerical and data-intensive problems utilizing
multicore processors, but often this effect on some of our control algorithms does not produce
good results and due to the parallel choice this can also impact system convergence. Often, these
costs can be very large, and can potentially outweigh the gains due to parallelization.
Critical analysis
It has been critically evaluated that waterfall model is that it is simple and easy to control as
compared to other models along with it also allows to be used for managerial control as well as
departmentalization. Another benefit of this is due to its rigidity which helps to easily manage it
as its each phase has its specific deliverables and its own review process. These phases are
completed and process only one at a time which gives a brief understanding (Kerzner, 2019). It is
beneficial for a smaller project as its works very well in organisation when its requirements are
