Task 1
1. Key Characteristics of Project
The key characteristics of the project are dependent on the implication of the operations and
the nature of the project for analysis. Some of the key characteristics of a project are,
a) Customer Oriented: Projects are customer oriented and the final decision of the
project is based on the client’s approval
b) Temporary Activities: The activities in the project are temporary and may vary
depending upon the situation
c) Unique Requirements: The project comprises of specific planning, activities, and
functions that are unique in nature and can be used for that specific project only
d) Profit and non-profit base: There is no bar on the type of the project as projects can
be either profit or non profit based
e) Structure: The projects depends upon the nature of works that can be cross
functional, cross organization or both simultaneously
2. Scope Statement of Project and WBS
The project scope statement is the details of the deliverables of the project and helps in
describing the objectives of the project. The measurable project’s success criteria can be
understood by the help of the project scope statement.
The work breakdown structure is helpful for breaking down the completed project in sub
projects and individual work packages. The combination of the work packages would help in
defining a specific alignment of the activities favouring the final project achievement. The work
breakdown structure would help in forming the alignment of objectives that could be summed as
the project scope statement.

Step 5: Equipments and Software cost is calculated
Step 6: Summing all the costs identified and calculated
Step 7: Making proper documentation of the budget cost estimated for project activities
5. Project Risk Analysis
Causes of project risk: The project risk can be caused intentionally or unintentionally
due to several factors that can be classified into internal or external factors. Some of the causes
of the risk in project are poor preparation, inadequate documentation, bad leadership, failure in
parameter determination, inexperienced managers and workers, inaccurate estimation of the
costs, lack of communication, and competing priorities.
Risk Response: The response to project risk can be done by the implication of the risk
management process. The risk mitigation planning would include the following steps,
Step1: Identification of the factors of risk
Step 2: Analysis of the impact of the risk factors
Step 3: Characterization of the root causes of risk
Step 4: Evaluation of the mitigation for risk causes
Step 5: Prioritization of the risk mitigation alternatives
