Project execution is based on the pre-planning or the phase accomplished by the action. It is
the implementation process which considers the deliver the expected project. During the
project implementation or execution, a complete team need to monitor its own activity and
the team leaders evaluate the activity or action of each team member activity. At the time of
project execution, the individual need to understand the concept of cost, time, quality, issues
and risk. For execution, a team must be to communicate with each other and resolve their
issues by collaborating with each other (Caramia, 2019).
There are some common challenges faced during the project execution i.e. when team
member will not share any information, poor change management theories, lack of
transparency etc. Project execution and implementation is the time when the project requires
appropriate sharing of information and the theories provide a principle and the steps which
ensure that the project will surely be accomplished in a proper manner. But if it will not be
sustained properly, it increases the conflict rate in the team and there is a major chance that
the project will not implement as per the desired factor.
The risk or challenges faced during the project execution will cover when the entire team
member and the related individual properly collaborate in the team. It enhances the
effectiveness and reduces the responsibility on an individual. Another risk will be reduced
when the project follows all the planning method and design which consist of the activity
book. It reduces time and cost complexity. For effective project execution, the project
manager has the ability to make available urgent resources.
In the case, the project requires extra human resource and over budget, the company need to
support the project and discuss what the exact need. It helps to manage all the resource in
proper order. If there is any kind of risks like improper management in the team and lack of
transparency regarding the policies? Project execution requires complete availability in a
previous time.
After completing the project, it is the responsibility of the project manager to provide a
complete status report to all the relevant individual or groups. The status report will be
generated on a specific period of time. It helps to identify the need if resources and utilized

the resource. Sponsor and stakeholder evaluate the performance by the status report (Cox,
et.al., 2018).
The pitfalls faced by the team and sponsor in the project sponsorships are if the project
requires some urgent requirement at the same time when there is no availability of the
required resource. During the project, it requires proper collaboration in the team and
effective communication among all the individuals. Deadline affects the performance of
every team member, which is the basic pitfall in the stage of project execution.
Gantt chart is the most effective tool for the project because it has a complete scenario of how
all the relevant will be accomplished. It requires sincerely following and meeting the set
milestone. It develops the time frame chart of every action or activity which is needed to be
accomplished during project execution. Milestone refers that the running project will be
completed and it allows moving on the second activity. It is prepared by using Microsoft
Project software. It avoids the complexity and risk which is faced during the project
execution. It is completely developed on the basis of prior phases in the lifecycle of the
project. Gantt Chart is prepared by using activity in the work break down structure, for this
purpose work break downs structure is developing in a very initial stage and if require any
kind of changes for modification. The WBS gets restructured, and after the final stage there
the process will be starting over the Gantt chart (Worley and Mohrman, 2014)
Project execution and control is the most important stage of the project, in which the project
manager takes all the responsibility to manage all the activity and action done during the
project. It helps to avoid any kind of redundancy and risk which may mislead the success of
the project. But the entire tasks are accomplished in a proper manner. There are major
chances that the project will increase its success rate and it delivers an effective approach.
