This report provides a comprehensive analysis of project management principles applied to Transport for London (TFL). It covers key aspects such as stakeholder analysis, which identifies and categorizes stakeholders based on their power and interest, and risk assessment, which outlines potential risks and mitigation strategies. The report also includes a Gantt chart and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to illustrate project timelines and task dependencies. Methodologies like Waterfall and Agile are discussed in the context of TFL's projects, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and efficient resource utilization. The analysis concludes with recommendations for TFL, including continuous market research, adoption of digital technologies, and participative decision-making processes to ensure project success.

INTRODUCTION
Project management is considered as an effectual technique for marking appropriate
standards while performing within project sector. Moreover, it facilitated methods that assist to
assure efficient utilisation of project resources as well as also assure about work atmosphere
within entity. Within this report, Transport for London is undertaken. The main aim of the report
is to perform the stakeholder analysis, determination of risks, Gantt chart, WBS and network
diagram.
MAIN BODY
Task 1
Methodologies
Project methodology is undertaken as the vital way for communicating progress of project
sector into much effectual as well as appropriate way. Moreover, these are regarded to explore
more benefits or output from particular resources that are being invested into project. Within this
project Transport for London perform the project of road for developing greener, saver and much
eye-catching streets and develop whole network of buss all over London. So, some main project
methodologies are discussed below:
 Waterfall: Respective project methodology describes about their effectual operations in
respect to promote effectiveness of task into constructions as well as production sectors.
Moreover, this also concentrates upon regular performance into project sector. Additionally,
within their analysis, in case staff leave into mod of project work management that are being
develop for replacing the person which undertakes efficiencies of task that being formulated
and being same.
 Agile: Respective project methodology is regarded as the effective suited approach while
being involved into self- arranged as well as cross functional groups. In this aspect, TFL is
undertaking for developing streets as well as formulation of plan through considering
greenery into London region. So, highlighting towards societal prospective of entity where
they would able to explore towards multinational cultural aspect and also respect
methodology would be effectively suited.

Both project methodologies are essential as these help Transport for London to concentrates
upon regular performance into project sector. Additionally, within their analysis, in case staff
leave into mod of project work management that are being develop for replacing the person
which undertakes efficiencies of task that being formulated and being same. Also, to explore
towards multinational cultural aspect and also respect methodology would be effectively suited.

with essential information for managing work in efficient way.
 High power and high interest: This has been represented that through these workforce,
administrative becomes competent for performing its work with much effectiveness. In
simple terms, those who are at this step within TFL are at high range of food chain or into
leadership position. Additionally, the individuals who are taken into this aspect are investor.
Respective aspect is utilised for keeping the eye upon whole work.
 High power and low interest: Within TFL, consumers are that individuals who have power
for deciding upon projects. Additionally as staffs are less involved into business activities,

to whole that variables which are incorporated within respective firm, activities and system
of management should be applied for generating higher interests. As an outcome, there are
various competitors within retail business that develops issues. Also, stakeholder model

effective individual utilise for gaining supports from others. In addition to this, through
undertaking the analysis of stakeholder, risk assessment, development of WBS as well as
network diagram may consider as effectual techniques for formulating appropriate ways to
accomplish the expected project objectives.
So, being involved into project operation of TFL, it has been recommended that various
prospects that would assure effectiveness of project entity.
 Research of market has to be performed upon continuous intervals.
 Undertaking the digital technologies into operations of project that might be useful
