3. Project cost and resource management
3.1 Cost allocation plan
The cost allocation plans as well as the direct cost rate proposals are generally
documented which is further utilized for the purpose of cost recovery that help the entities in
reflecting the allocated resources. The cost allocation plan that is mainly created for
implementing the E-toll system generally helps in reflecting on the activities in which proper
amount of costs are generally allocated in order to successfully complete the work of the project
quite effectively by getting review from 44 people [5]. The figure that is provided below
generally reflects on the allocation of project cost as per the phases of the project. The below
figure helps in reflecting that $18,720 is generally allocated in the initiation phase of the project
whereas $22,032 is allocated for completing the planning phase of the project. Furthermore, it is
identified that for completing the project execution, budget of around $138,968 is allocated.

It is found that the figure which is provided below reflects on the resources that are generally
allocated for completing the implementation of E-toll system within Hyderabad rail road [6].The
below chart showcases the project stakeholders and the time for which they are allocated within
the project in order to successfully complete the work of the project successfully. It is identified
that successfully allocation of project resources are very much important for effective execution

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
4. Project procurement management for the outsource work
4.1 Outsourcing needs of the project
The project is mainly outsourced due to its expense. It is identified that it is quite
necessary to outsource the requirements of project management and this is mainly due to the
taxes as well as benefits on the employees of the outsource organization [5]. The second reason
of outsourcing is efficiency. It is found that the employees who generally deal with the project
must be trained in some important perspectives of project management methodology in order to
complete the work of the project successfully. In addition to this, other reason due to which
outsourcing of the project can be done is the complexity of the project.
4.2 Detailed project schedule
The detailed schedule that is mainly developed for the implementation of electronic toll
system is generally provided in the table below. It is found that the table that is given below
reflects that the entire project will be completed within 210 days that is within 7 months. The
execution time for each of the project activities are generally reflected in the table below.
Furthermore, the paper also showcases initiation as well as closure date for each of the project
phase.

4.3 Cost allocation plan
Cost allocation is considered as one of the procedure that helps in determining,
aggregating as well as assigning costs to each of the activities of the project. The cost allocation
plan that is generally developed for the electronic toll system in Hyderabad ring road is generally
reflected below. The figure which is mainly provided below reflects on the project cost
allocation as per the different phases of the project. From the above figure, it is helpful in

13
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
reflecting that $18,720 is generally allocated in the initiation phase of the project whereas
completing the project execution, proper budget around $138,968 is allocated.
