After analyzing the project case scenario details it is learned that, most of the project development
activities are conducted during the project planning phase. The complexity of each project development
phases are analyzed in this week to identify all possible actions those can be taken for the successful
design and implementation of the project planning phase. In order to execute the project appropriately
within assigned timeline and budget the Information System should be prepared followed by all technical
and non technical requirements. Within estimated budget and cost the project planning activities are all
must be identified. In this week a quality review will be conducted for each project work packages and sub
tasks.

Impact Summary
(Milestone, Schedule
Scope, Resources,
Space…)
Action Steps
1 High Delay to deliver the task Overall effect on project
delivery time
The project manager need to

monitoring actions
2 High Overrunning project budget The complete project
would be affected
Before initiation of the project,
project manager should conduct
a feasibility analysis to check
that whether the IS will be
implemented in FNB within
assigned budget
3 Moderate Over allocation of resources
leading overrunning resources
The expected project
outcome will be
impacted negatively
After measuring the complexity
of each activity proper resource
management plan is needed to
be conducted by the project

Change requirements
1. Incorporating encryption mechanism to secure the information stored in the server
2. Alternative assurance mechanism over the non functional performance measures
Some potential risks are identified that interrupt the project success criteria. The performance of the
project associates are monitored and controlled respectively. The public sector entities will be reported
publically based on their performance as part of the accountability obligations. The audit is being follow
based on the progress and effectiveness of the departments in implementing the change management
requirements. Based on the risks proper response strategies are needed to be prepared to avoid overrunning
cost and over allocation of resources. The respective risk management plan are being developed and
applied in FNB but some of the identified change requirements are under progress and processing.
