INTRODUCTION
The use of methodologies, procedures, expertise, and knowledge of individuals and
populations to appropriate advertising project goals is known as project administration (Sani,
2021). The present initiative focuses on road improvements to make London's roads safer,
cleaner, and more appealing, and also modernising the whole transport system. The project will
run from September 27, 2021, until November 12, 2021. Project methodology, network
diagrams, stakeholder analysis, WBS, and risk assessments are all discussed in this project.
TASK 1
Methodology
There are many approaches that might be considered for carrying out certain project tasks that
are related to TFL. The following approaches were selected with the character and size of the
work in mind:
Agile - This is really a software development technique that can be used to any project in
order to generate appealing ideas and carry out operations efficiently. In other terms, agile is a
process for efficiently identifying entire project that can aid in improving organizational
effectiveness. This technique will be used by TFL to generate concepts and manage all
operations.
Waterfall - A waterfall is an ongoing method or approach that focuses on the end user and
involves customers in the development. The primary goal of employing a waterfall model is to
assist team members in going through planning phase in an orderly manner. By separating work
into linear and sequential periods, expected outcomes that the company's profits are preserved
(Qazi, Asim and Manzoor, 2021).
TASK 2
Network Diagram
The term "network diagram" shows the picture depiction of a technology or
telecommunications system that is tied to activities and must manage and implement all
operations properly. The present project entails the construction of more residences as well as the
enhancement of the product / brand in an evolving landscape. The administration of the selected

corporation recognises the demands of its consumers and builds houses to meet those wants,
therefore assisting in the achievement of the company's objectives. In the case of the present
project, project managers create a network diagram to guarantee that all resources are gathered
while eliminating waste, which helps to boost organisational efficiency. This concept was
utilised by administration to assure minimum waste and great production, allowing them to
sustain superior efficiency.

The above diagram is prepared on the basis of activities:
Early Start Activity Number Early finish
Slack
time
ACTIVITY NAME
Late Start Duration Late Finish
The network diagram here is premised on the actions schedule that was presented for the
business. The reddish colour box above reflects the exercise frequency, although the rectangle on
the level symbolizes the earlier start time and the boxed on the correct side shows the earlier
average pace. The space to the left of the red box symbolizes slack time, although the box
underneath it reflects operation information. The first box on the very last line from the left
signifies a delayed start, accompanied by a box expressing persistence, and eventually a box
expressing a late end. The vital approach for the enterprise has already been established and uses
the network diagram earlier in this section:
This critical path illustrates in the above network diagram that this project has various activities
that must be completed by managing various all operations. According to a higher-level study of
the concert, distinct actions are based on the shortest period of time, such as 1, 2, 4,5,9,10,21,
and 22. The network diagram is often used to design the design, keep a record of elements,

monitor and solve network issues, and spend essential data. As a result, the shortest time to
complete activities will be roughly 116 days, which is the time frame for properly arranging an
event.

TASK 5
Risk Analysis
The method of identifying and assessing possible concerns that might have a detrimental effect
on significant trade efforts or projects is known as risk assessments. This procedure is carried out
in order to assist companies in avoiding or mitigating hazards (Outlaw, 2021).

This will create a
negative impact as
this will affect the
implementation
process and can
delay the work,
Low / high impact Create a great approach for
the plan's adoption in a

approach (McCarthy and
et.al, 2021).
Risk in using
proper monitoring
This will create a
negative impact as
it will result in
ineffective
monitoring.
High / high impact The adoption of an
appropriate maintenance tool
is a good risk-mitigation
method.
Noise pollution This will create High / low impact It is necessary to employ an

negative impact
over the working
of event as it will
impact the
environment
appropriate system that
produces minimal noise
(Uzoka and et.al, 2018).
Over utilisation of
resource
This will create
negative impact as
resource need to
be optimally used
and not over
utilised.
Low / high impact This technique is to build a
list of all the sources and
afterwards draw up a list for
best resource use.
Unplanned delay This can create
both negative and
positive impact
depending on the
change
High / high impact The approach for this is to do
excellent market research in
order to analyse market
developments.
Less people
coming to the
event as planned
This will create
negative impact as
in case people will
come in less
number then it will
result in loss for
the event.
Low / high impact The mitigation method is to
publicise the function in such
a way that a substantial
amount of people attend.
TASK 6
Quality Control
Expectations for quality: The quality expectation comprises the need that all materials be of the
highest possible quality. The explanation seems to be that whenever individuals are given with
high-quality products, they will receive a quicker and more efficient result.

Criteria for Acceptance: The condition that the big festival must be fully booked by at
minimum 10% of the intended reservation is one of the admission requirements for its
accomplishment. This is crucial since it will be more helpful to TfL if more people turn up in
increasing proportions as agreed (Picciotto, 2020).
Quality standard
• This means that the food served during in the performance, as well as the welcoming drink and
drinks served to the audience, must be of the highest quality.
In addition, the venue's décor and ambiance must include high-quality products that are not bad
for the environment.
Control legislation for the project: The adoption of an appropriate contextual relevance is one
of the measures used for managing projects. The firm will use this strategy to create some of the
requirements and then compare overall performance to the criteria. This will show the greatest
amount of deficit inside the real and defined criteria (Pavez and et.al, 2021).
