Executive summary
The report intends to identify the impact analysis of EEF. It has analyzed the internal and external
factors. This also includes the effect has been imparting process of project management. Further,

2INTEGRATED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction:
The EEF or Enterprise Environmental Factors are influential to the success of the project
both internally and externally. It includes the weather conditions, political situations, market
conditions, government regulations, culture and so on that has been generally out of control.
It has been vital for the project team to manage the EEF effectively since they impact of the
project’s success. The report is developed on the identified impact analysis of EEF.
The report has evaluated the internal and external factors along with the effect on the process
of project management. The strategies are developed for imposing the proper course of the actions.
Lastly the report includes the communication on the process and results to the various stakeholders.
The evaluation of internal and external factors and their effect on the project
management processes:
The EEF has been always followed and could be in written format. However they are always
in action and not in control of the team. The project processes gets influenced by the EEF and never
change the EEF. Here the only exception is the managing and development of project team where
the skills are built and added to future capability of the organization. The EEF inputs have been
showing up as the input to various additional processes. The input denotes the factors external to the
project that might or might not have the important effect on the project’s success (Chen et al., 2014).
As per as the PMBOK Guide, the environmental factors have been including the following.

The instances of the external EEF:
The government
regulations
This has been including the features like the regulatory regulations and
standards. For example the doctors could be licensed to practice the
medicine on the pets and people. It also includes the quality standards
like Internal Standards Organization Standards, workmanship standards
and the product standards.
The market conditions Here the traditional theory of supply and demand is applicable. This
also includes the financial and economic factors (Liao et al., 2015).
The infrastructure This indicates to the capital equipment and facilities of the
organizations. Further, the information technology is also incorporated
in the category.
The external political
conditions

situations on the organization or the project.
The instances of internal EEF:
The organizational

The working
authorization system of
the organization
It has been defining the way how the activities of the projects are being
authorized.
The above factors are able to influence the methods to control the projects. In few situations
this also includes the results of the projects. Here, for instance, let the groups assigned to the project
are at junior levels and devoid of any skills, knowledge or experience required to finish the activities
of the project. Then it is on the project manager to make sense of the environmental factors of the
organization (Fa, 2017). Moreover, they must consider and account for how they have could impact
the outcomes and managements of the projects.
Development of strategies to implement appropriate course of action:
Analyzing the environment:
This section of the strategic management includes the market environment or tasks and the
societal surroundings. The task environment of the agency has been including the employees,
suppliers, local competitors, governments and the other particular associations of groups. Those
forces have been directly affecting the organization and also getting affected by that (Ibrahim &
Mas’ud, 2016). The influences of the societal environment have been influencing the operations on
long-terms of the organization. This includes the capital goods, every kind of opportunities and
infrastructures.
The influences of societal environment according to the long term operation of the
organization like the capital goods and every kind of scopes and infrastructures. Further, the internal
abilities of the organization like its weaknesses and strengths are analyzed by internal audits

(Potocan et al., 2016). The managers are needed to make the analysis of the business and the location
or destinations of the business area.
Planning direction:
This toll has been considering the further direction of the company. This indicates that the
determination of the complete direction for the organization. This includes its mission and the
formulating the aims to gain the mission and the component of the exercise.
Planning strategy:
It deals with the determination of the methods to achieve the aims. The various alternative
strategies are considered here very often. For example, the tolls of decision making like the
simulation, linear programming of game theory and statistics are used to choose the optimal strategy.
Implementing strategy:
As the strategy is opted, every operations like manufacturing, human resources and
marketing has been aligned in such the manner that it was capable of contributing to the effective
implementation of the strategies (Shuangyi, Yanan & Jinsong, 2015). The control system and
information has been set up for monitoring the performance and to undertake proper actions as
necessary.
The communication on the process of project management and results to various
stakeholders:
The management on the project communications comprises of the processes as described below.

Effects on stakeholders
Identification of
stakeholders
This involves determining the stakeholders impacting on the project.
This also involves the documenting the interest level, power, project
impact and influence.

stakeholders determined in the above process. For planning the project
communication with efficiency any stakeholder register is needed. Apart

2013). The other ones are the reporting methods and the communication
methods. The primary output of the process of the performance reports.
Conclusion:
The main motive of the above report has been to put emphasis on the necessities for the
companies to acknowledge the effect of their environments. This in turn has been affecting the
organizations on the contexts of Enterprise Environmental Factors. It is seen from the above report
that the commercial environment has been primarily characterized by the rise in trend of the
globalization. The consumers have been getting used to the concepts of products available for almost
unbelievable low expenses. The enterprise environmental factors have been the influences both
externally and internally on the project. This involves the financial environment and corporate
culture. The ethical environment has been developing. However the transition states have seemed to
the applied to the developing economies. This suggests that the norms have been lagging behind the
rise of industrialization for the foreseeable future.
