About project case-
LMAC a charitable organization is planning to organize a musical event. The main
aim of this event is to convey the idea of the organization among the people. LMAC wants to

this program. For the same, LMAC organization wants to develop a project management
report which will give a brief detail to them about the various aspect which might play a great
role in the overall working of the program.
Types of methodology
For the purpose of project management there are numbers of structures have been
followed by the managers which will support in giving the right way by which an
organization can attain its objective. For LMAC musical event, waterfall methodology would
be perfect as it will help in maintaining each activity of the program in a systematic manner.
Every phase of the project management will ensure a successful program, when this
methodology is being used by the manager. In some of previous events or projects this
methodology has helped in distinct ways. This focuses on declining any complex framework
for the execution of any activity of music event. Moreover, waterfall methodology supports
in identifying the goals prior to the implementation of project activities, by which LMAC can
analyze the amount money should be invested in this event. As the name clear the procedure
of this framework, it helps in distribution from one person to another who are involved in this
project in a very well manner. This will reduce any kind of miscommunication and poor

management of team in the implementation of assigned duties to them. So, project manager
can utilize this methodology for the music even of LMAC organization.
Task-2
Network Diagram-
The network diagram of LMAC music event shows a methodical connection among
the different activities of the project management. It will provide brief detailing about the

help of network diagram, a project manager evaluate the shortest and longest way of
accomplishing the task of the event.
Like, in the given diagram if the project manager go along with the red arrows then it
will be the less time taken procedure to complete this event, but if LMAC follows all the
activities in a systematic order then it will take so many days to complete this task.

times which is needed for the completion of all the activities. In this chart, activities are
divided into different phases and specific time has been allotted to all. By this summation of
