Introduction
The following assignment is the study of the implication of the effective project
management process and the alignment of the improved functional and development methods.
The use of the improved functional development would be implied for listing the activities of the
project and forming the utilization of the operations for forming the utilization of the operations
(Heldman 2018). It is important for aligning the utilization of the operations and it would also be
deployed for listing the utilization and the successful for using the analysis of the cost indicating
factors for the project, the detailed status reports and the alignment of the risk analysis
successfully. The implication would be deployed for forming the utilization of the study of the
team environment analysis for forming the implication development.
1. Summary of Project Status
The project had been facing many issues due to the lazy behaviour of Tony, the previous
owner. The project development had seen the delay in project completion due to the lack of the
enthusiasm in the project manager. The activities of the project were scheduled to be half
completed in the expected duration of 2 months. However, the project only finished by 43.75 %
in the time interval of 2 months. The following table would show the cost and schedule variances
of the project,
Estimated Actual
Total Budget 1200000 Ground Floor 100 75
Schedule 120 First Floor 50 25
work 100 Second Floor 50 25
Top Floor 0 50

3PROJECT REPORT
Total work 50.00% 43.75%
Duration 60 60
Cost 600000 675000
Planned Value 600000
Earned Value 525000
Cost Variance -150000 Over budget
Schedule Variance -75000 Behind Schedule
The calculation of the cost and schedule variances have shown that the project is over
budgeted and it is working behind schedule. The completion of the project would take more time
and money than expected due to the project being started from the top floor. The top floor works
had caused the delay in completion of the project works. The overall expected project duration
was 120 days out of which 60 days have been spent. The project should have been half
completed till the time being. It had been 60 days and the project had only covered 43.75 days.
The project had exhausted $675,000 dollars and the completion of the project can result in
exhausting more than $700,000.00 more at this rate.
2. Detailed Status report for project
The detailed status report of the project is based on the project working scenario and the
usage of the time being for the exhaustion of the resources for the project completion. The total
work required for the office fit out was top floor, ground floor, first floor, and second floor. The
project had considered the exhaustion of 120 days along with the budget of $1,200,000. The
completion of the project analysis would tend for the alignment of the documentation supporting
the exhaustion of the documents. The calculation of the cost and schedule variances have shown

4PROJECT REPORT
that the project is over budgeted and it is working behind schedule. The completion of the project
would take more time and money than expected due to the project being started from the top
floor. The top floor works had caused the delay in completion of the project works. The overall
expected project duration was 120 days out of which 60 days have been spent. The project
should have been half completed till the time being. It had been 60 days and the project had only
covered 43.75 days. The project had exhausted $675,000 dollars and the completion of the
project can result in exhausting more than $700,000.00 more at this rate. The project execution
would result in causing the formation of the major issues for the project completion. The delay
has resulted in forming the major problems for the completion of the project activities.
3. Leadership Behaviour in the Project
The project was a construction project and it had been almost half completed with the
delay and over budgeting conditions. The previous project manager had not been following the
proper leadership qualities and hence it resulted in causing severe damage for the execution of
the project (Turner 2016). The study of the effective management can result in forming the major
issues for the completion of the improved project development. The qualities of the leadership
that have impact on project are visioning, decision making, empowering, influencing,
communicating, strategizing, and team building. It was important for managing the implication
of the improved study and formation of the understanding of the activities supporting the
utilization of the profound development of the study. The leadership would be required for
taking care of the delay in project and forming the major successful alignment of the activities
(Binder 2016). The following leadership qualities are required for the effective execution of the
project,

5PROJECT REPORT
Visioning The project managers must follow the concept of analysing the situation
and the utilization of the proper vision statement for the execution of the
project operations. The visioning of the documentation would be
deployed for effective alignment of the documentation.
Decision Making The key decision making in the projects would be executed for the
development would align with the utilization of improved alignment
procedures for the key decision making for the project. The key decision
making for the project would be executed with the concept of executing
the project development.
Empowering The empowering would be required for the project activities would be
deployed for easing the process of developing the project execution and
development. The empowering of the project would result in forming
the major alliance for the project.
Influencing The influencing factor would support the development of the improved
activity alignment and the continuation of the proper documentation.
The influence on the project team members would be helpful for the
execution of the project.
Communicating The communicating would be required for the project activities would
be deployed for easing the process of developing the project execution
and development. The communicating of the project would result in
forming the major alliance for the project.
Strategizing The strategizing would be required for the project activities would be
deployed for easing the process of developing the project execution and

development. The strategizing of the project would result in forming the
major alliance for the project.
Team Building The team building would be required for the project activities would be
deployed for easing the process of developing the project execution and
development. The team building of the project would result in forming
the major alliance for the project.
4. Existing Team Environment
The existing behavior of project team is dependent on the work responsibility and
alignment of effective team works. The project was a construction project and it had been almost
half completed with the delay and over budgeting conditions (Leach 2014). The previous project
manager had not been following the proper leadership qualities and hence it resulted in causing
severe damage for the execution of the project. The team had been facing major issues due to the
fact that Tony had left the company abruptly and hence, it was needed that project would be
deployed for listing the alignment of the activities. The team would require the implication of the
activities supporting the implication of the operations and the new manager would be required
for executing the project activities. The existing team environment is completely messy and the
situation of the existing project is doomed as the project not only lags but is also have consumed
more than anticipated resources for the time duration of the two months.
The project completion would be responsible for the successful alignment of the
improved functional development and the various types of status reporting are executive status
reporting, program level status reporting, project team status reporting, individual team member

contribution and status. Risk Analysis would be done for ensuring the implication and the
utilization of the activities and implying the operations for successful implication of the
documentation and supporting the utilization of the proper documentation (Nicholas and Steyn
2017). The implication of the improved risk analysis would be required for the deployment of the
effective alignment methods. The risk factors in the project result in forming the major problems
for the execution of the project activities.
Conclusion
The following assignment was based on the study of the implication of the effective
project management process and the alignment of the improved functional and development
methods. The use of the improved functional development had been implied for listing the
activities of the project and forming the utilization of the operations for forming the utilization of
the operations. It was important for aligning the utilization of the operations and it had also be
deployed for listing the utilization and the successful for using the analysis of the cost indicating
factors for the project, the detailed status reports and the alignment of the risk analysis
successfully. The implication had been deployed for forming the utilization of the study of the
team environment analysis for forming the implication development. The study had helped in
listing the utilization of the improved functional and effective development for the listing the
major considerations for the project executions.

Appendix: Reflection
I had to go through a rigorous analysis for the activities so that the remaining activities would be
deployed for easing the completion of the project. The existing conditions of the project were not
very good and hence it was possible that the implication would result in forming the major issues
for the project. I had to deploy effective project tracking and reporting, leadership behavior on
project, and project risk analysis for the successful completion of the project. The tracking and
reporting project performance using diverse metrics like cost variance and schedule variance.
The cost variance was helpful to me for forming the study of the variation in cost by the help of
the data collected from the cost expectations. Similarly I used the schedule variance would help
in easing the analysis of the variation in schedule from the scheduled plan. The project status
reporting was developed for easing the analysis of the project implication and execution of the
project operations and it helped me in extending the implication of the improved analysis of
project activities. The study also provided me an option for listing the alignment of the improved
functional development. I would have to ensure that the project is executed in the specific time
duration.
