why Sainsbury's assign 4 months for completion of this project. They bifurcated time according
to research as it give 1 month for primary research whereas they give time 3 months for
secondary research.
Cost: It is very important for Sainsbury's that they should consider cost in the project so
that employees spend funds accordingly. It saves unnecessary expenditure in the organisation as
