MAIN BODY
Project Time Management
Time management plays a critical role in carrying the project and attain the objectives on
right time. There is need of listing all the important activities that must be carried in order to
attain successful position in the market. It is necessary for an individual to divide the overall
work of constructing the library in small part so that they are able to carry each and every
activity in effective manner (Stanitsas, Kirytopoulos and Leopoulos, 2021). The plan is to
develop a 7400 square meter library. They are planning to provide 24/7 academic facilities to the
students for their development. The project has huge scope.

Work break down structure
It is graphical representation of overall activities that are managed together to achieve the
overall success. It is necessary to divide the overall work in small activities so that all the
activities are completed. To develop the library the work, break down structure is formulated
below:
All these activities play a critical role in achieving successful position in the market. It is
necessary to first of all carry on the preliminary stage in which the work is managed. There is
need of carrying the budget analysis and taking necessary approval in order to manage the work.
There is need of then making right plans and designs so that successful work is done. There is
need of dividing the work in project management so that proper success is attained (Chawla and

Network diagram

It is graphical representation of activities and planned events in a project. There is key role of
managing the work in such a manner that all the activities are given right time to be completed. It
becomes necessary to have a sequence in which the work is managed (Hair and Sarstedt, 2021).
Critical path analysis
It is the path is the algorithm in which the project activities can be carried out. It becomes
necessary to select the best path so that the activities can be carried in appropriate manner. There
is need of managing the work in such a manner the real success can be attained in least possible
time. Finishing the activity in appropriate time is necessary. There is need of carrying the work

in such a manner that the goals and objective are attained. The use of critical path is necessary
for the project team.
There is need of managing the work by dividing the same among the team members. By
dilevering the work to the team membets and explaining them the team responsibiliy they will be
able to achieve a successful position. There is need of proper coordination among the team
members so that they are able to work with full dedication and support (Picciotto, 2020). The use
of such skills and knowledge is required by the team members. All the specialist are being hired
so that the work camn be divided among them and completred in proer manner. There is need of
having project manager who can delegate the work as per the project requirement.
Resource allocation and acquisition management including resource loading and resource
levelling
Resource loading provides information regarding period-to-period constraints on resources
over the project duration. It helps to improvise the utilisation of resource at the time of reducing
the total cost of the project. It is necessary to use all the resources in effective manner so that the
work is carried in effective manner (Tereso and et.al., 2019). There is need of optimum
utilisation of resources and providing best to the project stakeholders. All the required resource
must be mapped so that they are available at the time of requirement. It is necessary to manage
the work in such a manner that real success can be attained. The use of such resources makes the
project successful. There is need of carrying the work with resource loading and levelling to
formulate the library in right budget and time.
