2PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Activity 1A
1. WBS stands for Work Breakdown Structure is known to be an important project
deliverable which helps in organizing the teamwork in the manageable section.
2. WBS helps in defining the scope in the given measurable chucks so that given project
can be completed in given time. WBS aims to provide details and definition in project (Kerzner
& Kerzner, 2017).
3. MindView WBS is a well-known software tool which is needed creating WBS. The
work breakdown structure can bring huge number of benefits like defining and organizing the
given project of greenhouse organization. By allocating of time and estimation of section in
WBS of the scheduled project and proper budget can be developed.
4.The top level of the WBS mainly includes outcome of this greenhouse constructing
organization (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). The sub-section mainly comes up with work
packages for assigning the work of this construction organization.
5. One of the biggest tool and technique is all about training in various department which

It can provide proper characteristics of this greenhouse constructing organization
(Fleming & Koppelman, 2016).
3. The duration and effort involved in project are mainly measured after the
competition of each milestone of the project.

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
4. There is four kind of dependency which tends to exit in the project like finish to start,
start to start, finish to start and lastly start to finish.
5. Gantt chart can be defined as the visual view of the task which is scheduled over the
time (Heagney, 2016). Gantt chart is mainly required in the planning phase of the
project of the required sizes which is useful method of understanding the schedule of
the project.

in the required thing. Proper organizational resources are needed for completing the
required task on time.

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2. Project schedule of this greenhouse construct company is collecting the various needs
of the work (Turner, 2016).
3. The project schedule tools and techniques are needed for having an understanding
concerning schedule process like critical path, critical chain, schedule compression,
crashing and fast-tracking.
4. Also, it comprises of proper utilization of resources and modelling techniques. It also
tends to address the modelling techniques and scheduling tool and lastly analysis of
schedule network.
Activity 1D
1. Schedule can be defined as target baseline which is originally approved in project
schedule. It is mainly agreed by the stakeholders of any project before beginning.
2. A schedule baseline can be expected to be completed in the given time. It focusses on
proper estimation of resources of this greenhouse construction project (Binder, 2016).
It is considered to be an important aspect for understanding the schedule which is
seen from comparative measures.
3. Communication management tends to play a key role in keeping various individual in
a loop. The whole method of communication planning is needed for defining the type
of information which is to be delivered in the project. Communication aims to play a
key role in this project task.
4. Project managers are mainly responsible for understanding the guideline of different
aspect of this greenhouse construction organization (Verzuh, 2015).
5. By realizing the main goal and purpose of this project management plan, the
manager can easily be understanding project goals.

6PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Activity 2A
1. Proper monitoring of the progress of this greenhouse construction organization is all
about keeping track of different parts of project.
