ROLLER COASTER PROJECT MANAGEMENT3Section 1: Defining the ProjectThis section is concerned with the definition of the Roller Coaster Project. The project is concerned with the redevelopment of the roller coaster of Super Wonderland (SWL) Pte Ltd in Singapore. SWL is one of the world’s largest entertainment companies with interest in various fields such as movies, theme parks and resorts. Due to government directives, it is mandatory to for the company to either close the old Roller Coaster or revamp the same as per the new directives. This paper has focused towards the same in detail.Question #1a: Project Priority MatrixBased on the CEO’s direction, the project priority matrix has been developed as follows:TimeScopeCostConstrainXEnhanceXAcceptXThe points below explain the identification of priority matrix in above given pattern:Time is needed to be enhanced because there are some resources which are not allocated in a proper manner. As the time is limited for the project because it is going to be launched on 30 Dec 2016. So, time can be enhanced by the management.Scope is constrain because if all requirements of the government is not fulfilled in an appropriate manner than the government will not approve SWL to open Roller Coaster for customers.Cost is acceptable because if the cost is reasonable by the management.Question #1b: Cost Estimation ApproachMentioned below are the four relevant conditions in deciding to use the Top-down or Bottom up Estimate approach for estimating the project cost:Cost and Time ImportantFor condition on “Cost and Time”, Bottom-up Estimates is preferred because managed rarely hold information about the projects with which they are less acquainted with. This is the case for the RCS Project as the management has no understanding of the cost and time that will be incurred on the activities. Hence SWL shall use Bottom-up Estimate under this condition.
