University Project: Exotic Car Storage and Transportation Report

This project report outlines the development of an exotic car storage and transportation business. It includes a network information chart created using MS-Project and Excel, detailing activities, predecessors, and durations. The report presents a network diagram and forward/backward pass analyses to identify the critical path. A risk assessment form and risk response matrix are provided to address potential issues like delays, over budget situations, and procurement problems. The report recommends a time management plan, a cost budget provision, design-build procurement, and a work alignment method. The project concludes with a bibliography of relevant project management resources and appendices containing the project and Excel files used for analysis.

Network Information Chart
The network information chart has been developed using the Ms-Project file and excel
sheet. The completion of the report would be implied with the implication of the work
development. The network information chart is implied with the implication of the works and
listing the management of the work and integrating the alignment development. The
development of the network information chart would be implied with the continuation of the
works. The integration would be implied with the formation of the activities in a smart work
development.

9PROJECT INFORMATION REPORT
Time Management Plan: The time management plan is very effective with the implication of the
smart work development. The time considered for the implication works would be effectively
implied with the listing of the improved work development. The time management would be
effectively developed with the consideration of the smart analysis works.
Cost Budget Provision: The provisional budget development has been developed for the listing
of the works and formation of the improved listing management works. The effective cost budget
estimation has been defined with the formation of the effective work alignment. The budget
development has been implied with the consideration management.
Design build procurement: The design build procurement has been developed for the listing of
the successful management processing. The improved design build procurement has been
improved with the consideration management. The proper design development has been implied
for successful completion of the work.
Work Alignment Method: The negotiation of the works has been implied with the consideration
of the factors and limitation of the improved work development. The negotiation of the works
would be effectively developed with the consideration of the work development.
