Report on Project Management Practices at Transport for London

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of project management practices at Transport for London (TfL), covering various aspects such as project methodologies (Agile, Waterfall), stakeholder management, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Gantt charts, and risk assessment. It delves into the stages of project accomplishment, from budget approval to advertising media management, highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement and effective communication strategies. The report identifies internal and external stakeholders, assessing their power and interest levels, and proposes communication strategies accordingly. Furthermore, it outlines potential risks associated with TfL projects, including social, economic, political, and technological factors, along with mitigation strategies. The analysis also addresses quality expectations, acceptance criteria, and quality control methods, emphasizing the significance of WBS, Gantt charts, and KPI principles for project success. The report concludes that effective project management is vital for TfL to achieve its goals, manage customer services, and ensure systematic growth.

Introduction
Project management is the activity which is work as an effective techniques for use of
setting higher standards in the project working industry. There are different techniques
provided to make effective services to their customers to ensure about the project
management sources to make a better working in organisational firm and make systematic
growth (Cao, 2021). There are different operational work at the transport for the growth in
London which is beneficial for completing the project in provided in the report to complete
the documents. In this report, to make project firm stakeholders, risk identification and major
consideration with WBS, Gantt chart that are helpful for completing in following documents.
Main Body
TASK 1
There are different project methodology which are beneficial for the critical path to
make effective communication path in the most effective to most of the concise and work in
most of effective manners. With the use of these methodologies most of the project
completion is beneficial to maximize for output from different resources that are used to
make an investigation to complete the project (Faith-Ell and Fischer, 2021). It will be
beneficial to create the safer profile, greener and most attractive streets to improve the
network across the entire London that are useful for their people. Some of the major
methodology that are described below:
 Agile: This is the methodology that is work to make self-organized and make cross
functional teams to work in different platform to manage given methodology to
complete the approach. In the major context, Transport for London which is
considering different streets that are helpful for make planning development in the
growth of London.
 Waterfall: It is used to work and make systematic growth to make effective claims in
promoting the major work effectively in the manufacturing to work construction
industries. There are different methodologies to make continues system to manage
work in an appropriate project industry. It is beneficial to work for generating
platform to work in more systematic growth and become the reason in different
channels (Kurup and et.al., 2021).

TASK 2
In this section, there are different ways for generating stages to accomplish the work
and make more effective approach in different situations to complete the project in given time
period. There are different beneficial activities to work and make in starting to make budget
approval to hire from orchestra and music to analyse the performance in different consecutive
year. It will be provided to work in starting from the budget to make approval to advertising
media for managing systematic performance in transport in London. At the time for
completion of project to achieve growth in advertising the media and make customers for the
growth to create 800 new homes within the London (Li, 2021). There are different sector to
work in 70 weeks to achieve to complete the activities for Gantt chart to work and manage
the each and every activities in different platform. It is beneficial to work to achieve
appropriate manner and complete their activities in specified time period.

TASK 3
It is one of the important analysis for an important sector to work and make different
component to analyse the task is the very first step. It is one of the significant technique that
is used to gain the support of people and work effectively into the market (Liu and Liu,
2021). There are different stakeholder’s management process which is helpful for work
effectively and allow them to work as per the need and demand thoroughly. The internal and
external stakeholders are the one who are responsible to manage their interest and power in
the management activities.

 High Power, High interest: It can be fully involve with different persons and use
great energies to satisfy the essential to satisfy the rudimentary need.
 High Power, Low interest: Those people to save them content is different substances
and make methodical change to uphold the growth with great power and low interest.
 Low Power, High interest: They are associated to be able to wide category that may
additional use and manage in well-thought-out manners (Nguyen, 2021).
 Low power, Low interest: They are the one who are connected to work with low
control stakeholders with lowest attention.

TASK 4
Work break down structure is basically helpful for completing activities effectively
into the market and make sure to manage the works to beocme more manageable and
approcable activities. It is considered as one of the foundational tool that helps in generating
the idea, plan and manage different perspective to work effectively into makret (Vassall and
Bueno, 2021).
TASK 5
There are different type of risk which are considered when a project is accomplished
on the time. The project includes couple of sectors that are associated to the positive and
negative risk factors (Cheng and et.al., 2021). These risk have their own positive or negative
impact on the project accomplishment. machine breakdown, unfavourable weather, major
work accident and many other factors of risk are considered which can be related to work and
make systematic growth into the project and accomplish the detail of project in given time.

and high impact
Reduce: To decrease the cost sector
of project, it is significant to reduce
the fee.
Political
factors
Positive Low probability

Avoid: The political issues should be
evaded by the project organisation
team as they consume no control to
reduce or reduce the risk.
System

Positive High probability
and low impact
Reduce: The project team can
employ risk buffering as it will assist
the system design. This will helps in
having extra supplies on hand to
avoid the chance of running out.
Technological

Negative High probability
and high impact
Mitigate: It will be beneficial for
undertaking technological transfer in
order to lower the risk level and make
it more difficult to fight the transfer.

Reduce: It helps in regulatory by
execution analyses in diverse
segments to attain the public safety.

Mitigate: There are various methods
for analysing and accepting the
effects of various decision-making
processes in terms of both money and
time.
TASK 6
This task is basically helpful for completing the quality expectation, acceptance
criteria and other features. These are useful and effective for make a place and control the

Conclusion
From the above reports, it has been concluded to make project management to
complete one of the vital role plays to complete their activities to manage their customer
services. With the use of effective to make systematic growth in achieving WBS and Gantt
chart to make appropriate manners. This will be helpful for most challenging to make
attainment to desire to complete project achieve the goals in different ways to achieve goals
and objectives.
