Different business has different corporate social responsibility. Some responsibilities of the

there are some poor people also. So that company provide those poor people shelter, food,
education to their children to complete their basic need through that they can survive easily.
 Company also motivate other people to complete their corporate social responsibilities.

includes the information regarding project that how project can be execute and how the
implementation can do. If plan is made properly then it can helps to reduce the consumption of
material and maximise the profits.
If project plan is properly made then it also helps to reduce the cost. The plan involves cost, risk,
time, scope etc. It is not a schedule, it is a plan which contain how the task and activities can be
done to achieve or fulfil the target. This plan is also include risk management through this it
helps to reduce the risk which is related with the project (Edmonds, 2011). People also learn how
the time management is done and it will help them to provide their services on timely basis.
There are various contents for project management plan is mentioned as below:
Human resource requirements: For any work there is always need of human resources. If
people need training for the project then company has to plan training for employees.
Material or equipment requirements: In this, it is identify that how much material and which
type of equipment is necessary to completion of project.
Budget or cost estimation: It is necessary to identify the budget for the project because it is
necessary to work under the budget only. It includes the cost of labour, material, capital items
etc.

environmental, social etc. Manager has to manage all the issues which is related to the project.

der Aa, and de Jong, 2010).
Project scope definition: Project always contain purpose and objectives with it that should be
follow. When employee or worker works they have to maintain the quality of the product and
also convey about the product to the customers.
P3 Produce a Gantt Chart to provide time frames and stages for completion
Project management is a crucial task and in this there are many factors which are carefully
monitored. If project is divided into many teams then it is typical to complete a task because
every person do their work according to them only. Gantt chart is very easy and can easily
understandable and provide time frame. It is useful in following terms -
 it helps to breaking down the structure.
 It also helps to employees because they can relate their work with others also.
 Work schedule is decided on day basis only.
Identify the process for project planning: It means to understand the project properly company
can use flow chart through this they can easily understand that which part is completed. After
identify that company can easily understand that which part is left and in what quantity resources
are required (Trevino and Nelson, 2010).
Mapping the processes to the Gantt chart: When all the information is received then it is very
simple to understand each and every thing. By this employer can easily understand that from
where the task is start and finish. It also helps to share the plan with other peoples. When
manager or employer is creating the plan then they need to left some space after every step.
If it is typical for company then they can use an alternative option i.e. they can use already
created plan and it will be more easier. For this they only need to fill the spaces with the relevant
information.

Sharing and working together for the success of the project: Once the plan is made then
employer or manager can easily share it with the people. After sharing, they discuss about that
plan together. Company can also share about the plan with their clients by upload it on website.
Using information to your advantage: Once the chart is completed then employer has to decide
that how much time it can be take to complete the task or project. When it is decided after that
employer can share this with their client and they will know that when the project can be
completed (Mathur, Mathur,and Kenyon, 2012). Manager can also break down the project into
days through this manager can able to see that how many people are working on it and it can
easily determine that what problems are arise. If everything is going on better way then the
project can complete on time.
