2PROJECT PLACEMENT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
1.0Brief background and context of FT portfolio exercise
The simulation project is enabled each member of group to perform of the project
related tasks. With help of the team members, I am able to deal with understanding
of project activities as well as project objectives which I was provided program that is
comprised of customer satisfaction. Throughout execution of this project work, I am
able to manage the project tasks as per project plan that is required to finish the
simulation project on time by focused on quality and timetable for the project goals.
Collaboration among the project team members also help me and group members to
finish the project work on time (Greasley, 2017). Communication among the project
members and project manager helps me to track with project movement and each
individual working.
The aim of this simulation project is to recognize learning requirements
throughout this course. I am focused to meet with learning outcomes of programme
throughout the university in addition practice based learning. This project work is
based on demonstrate of interaction with FT portfolio exercise, stages required to
make decisions related to FT portfolio and skills to be developed to interact with FT
portfolio.
2.0Demonstration of interaction with FT portfolio exercise
I have set up with the societal issues which affect the customer satisfaction level
that is included of breaking points as well as mission for the project work. There is
required to have computed framework that help me to examine with arrangement for
the customer related facilities. There is required to have execution skills for the
project work as it helps me to put aside with the project goal help me to lead and
redefine the project tasks required for the simulation project (Epiney et al. 2016). I
will apply of transitional skills that will impel the progress towards the customer
satisfaction that made inventive responses for the project issues.
3.0Weekly stage gate decisions made within FT portfolio
The objectives of the execution stage is to direct as well as redefine the project
simulation to explore of effectiveness for digitize the organization. Proper time
management is required to make improvement for exploration of propositions and
subside the project undertaking. The project colleagues are distinguished as well as
united with the dispatch of the project undertaking. As an individual, I am engaged
into the project simulation work as project manager (Sturrock, 2015). I am able to
take of effective project related decisions so that I can start to create of schedules
which are normal to the project tasks. With following of proper project schedule, I am
able to complete the project activities on time so that I have avoided the project
delay. The information gathering is started to create of schedule which are normal for
the conventional groups, including of recurrence along with arrangements of the
project gatherings (Montevechi et al. 2014). In addition to all this, I have ability to
control as well as spaces of the project work which is normal to Gibbs model

3PROJECT PLACEMENT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
investigation approach, it is a key normal for real group, as characterized by
gathering as well as group analysis.
4.0Skills developed interacting with FT portfolio
I have examined aptitudes which are created to tackle the work related issues
throughout the customer satisfaction activities that is being performed by me. It helps
to solve the project work that is planned to perform the simulation work. I have
performed and grounded on rationality of the project work with an understanding with
the project related activities (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). As a project manager, I
can manage the customer satisfaction level, which has covered all orders and piece
of recreation related to the simulation project. I have taken novel requirements for
undertaking of the group set up. This particular project work is helping me to solve
relational abilities along with informative inclinations for the project related tasks.
I have solved of work based problems related to the project work. It is better
perception of the essential part of correspondence in project work for my consumer
loyalty. With the cognizance of the trade of network situated as well as focused
segments in an area that will put social aptitudes at test for consumer loyalty. I
encountered the think estimation before attempted the project objectives and key
estimations, for example, time, cost, spending overpowers as well as so forth
(Larson and Gray, 2015). FT portfolio is business related learning into essential
zones of settling on of choices, advertise and additionally business investigation and
administration of benefits, group working likewise goals of contentions. The present
investigation is proposed of critical perceptions identified with utilization of learning
contract for directing of configuration and additionally execution of FT portfolio
(Meredith et al. 2016). I trusted that improvement of learning contract intended for
assistance of procedures which permit the students for checking the instruction and
separation of client training assets.
5.0Analyse and evaluate decisions made and problems
In the project work, I have achieved of project goal as well as objectives so that I
can communicate with the project team members related to purpose of this project. I
have looked to finish the project work with better quality, proper time along with cost
as I have follow a budget limitations (Jahagirdar, 2015). I am totally focused on the
project objectives and aim so that entire project work is finished within estimate time
as well as cost against the project courses over the time period.
The decisions which are made by me are as follows:
 I have created capacities to distinguish as well as investigate the key
factors which provide an impact on the project program along with project
undertakings (Mason, 2015).
 I have built with an intricacy of the project workings to share the project
objectives with the project team members.

4PROJECT PLACEMENT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
 I am able to figure as well as adjust with the project procedures with
providing an emphasis with project bottlenecks by undertakings inside of
the project program.
 I am also upgrade based on basic leadership by making a connections
with utilization of the project assets and concern about the project
execution (Boyer et al. 2014).
 I am able to provide the project team members with reasonable
encounters to cooperate with them and perform a critical thinking to take
of proper project related community program along with undertaking of
administration conditions.
Decisions which are not taken by me:
 In this simulation project work, I have not performed any project
rationales behind administration for the project tasks.
 I have not followed the project life cycle as it is required to take after
possessing with the project tasks and its activities (Chan, 2015).
 There are less planning as well as controlling for the project activities
which are performed to meet with the customer satisfaction levels.
 There are no such management of risks into the project work so that
there are possibilities of risks to be engaged into the project activities
(Cunningham, 2017).
 I have not focused on money related matter into the project work,
therefore there are lack of budget and limitation of project cost can
cause delay into the project activities.
6.0Learning took from FT portfolio
Lessons I have learnt from the simulation project
From this particular simulation project work, I have learnt to plan the project
so that there are no possibilities of any project delay. I have focused on the project
schedule such that I can able to manage the project tasks and finish all the project
activities as per scheduled time and date. Along with the project schedule, I have
also planned for the project budget so that there are no lack of budget to finish the
work on time (Hutchinson, 2016). Project planning is main phase into the project
work as without planning, no one can finish the project work within scheduled time as
well as budget. A proper planning authorization is also required from the project
manager so that the plan is being approved and changes are also done on time
before staring to work into the project work. As simulation is a critical work, therefore
without proper project planning, there are no chances to start with the project work
(Khalil, Lawarrée and Rodivilov, 2018). I have managed all the project activities so
that able to meet with deadline. The project resources as well as its working hour is
also calculated based on the project activities. The resources are assigned to the
project activities based on their ability as well as expertise to perform the project

5PROJECT PLACEMENT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
work to make it complete on time. I have learned to do planning which is undertaken
prior to placement and project implementation related to simulation.
Gantt chart
In order to work with the project simulation, I have learned to use of Gantt
chart to design of project related tasks. Into the simulation project, Gantt chart is
used to show start as well as end date of the project work. It will help to demonstrate
with arranged time as well as span to perform of specific project tasks and the blue
bars shows the time required to complete each of the project activities. Gantt chart
shows of graphical representation of time required to complete each activities
(Nicholas and Steyn, 2017). It also shows start as well as end date of each activities
along with its final time required to complete the project work.
Project supervisor learning
The project supervisor allots each of the project activities to various people by
utilization with need to enclose the centre of the project work. The project is
undertaking to finish it on time so that the project manager should keep in mind that
the project should allot with an end goal that the assignment should meet with
finishing time. The project schedule table shows the time required to finish the work
and choose of each individual for each project activities (Nielsen et al. 2015). The
objective is to choose of project supervisor those can able to supervise entire
simulation project. The project work is related with demonstration of expenses for the
standard hours, extra project time as well as slack hours (Otto et al. 2015). The
project expenses can also fluctuate with starting one round to next.
Time constraints
In each of the project work, there are possibilities of constraints related to time
as it is considered as main factor into any project work, proper maintenance of time
is required to complete the project work on scheduled time. Finishing of project work
on time helps the project manager to achieve of project gaols and objectives and
also project success (Beaven, 2015). There are possibilities of additional time
allocated to the project activities. Exchange of various project tasks into the project
program is possible. The project supervisor can choose to outsource the project
work so that the project can gain of success and meet with the customer’s
expectations (Nawana et al. 2014). In conclusion, the project manager can exchange
of money among the project work to prevent the occurrence of project budget
constraints.
Leadership skills
In any project task, leadership skills is required to complete the work by
concerning on basic leadership skills which are required in a project manager. The
main objective of project team member is to convey the program on scheduled plan,
spending time to meet with project deadline as well as maintain of quality level to
meet with project goals. The cost is kept in the financial plan so that the project

6PROJECT PLACEMENT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
manager can finish the program by focusing on timeframe of the simulation project.
As this particular project work is group based, therefore it is required to have proper
management of the project activities by the project leader (Johnson, 2014). The
project manager is leader of this project who can manage as well a handle the
project activities. I have likewise directed of once in a while standard and week after
week gatherings with the teacher. The project leader likewise gives and empowers of
consistent input about advance of understudy into learning contract of the simulation
based project. As aftereffect of this task work, I am ready to work of portfolio with
scope of systems. I distinguished and explained of advancement of business related
aptitudes mapped to confirm drawn from either the task or position (Nicholas and
Steyn, 2017). This course examine additionally showed learning and comprehension
of the foundation and setting in respect to the picked task or situation opportunity.
The objective of this project task is to finish the tasks as financially so that I
can able to meet with the project goals. The outcome of this project task is accessed
with aggregate cost, total hours spend to complete the project undertakings. The
project supervisor is focused to enhance of proficiency with which its sub-venture
project is advanced, considered with project criteria (Larson and Gray, 2015). I will
make sure that the project tasks are remain on scheduled plan and conveyed with
quality level. When the task is behind the project schedule, then the project
administrator can accomplish with objectives to allow the extra time for the
colleagues. Extra time is required for ordinary hours. The administrative of the
project consults with the project manager to allocate the activities among the project
members based on each member’s skills as well as expertise (Epiney et al. 2016).
When it is required for the project planning, there are exchange of money among
project input as well as output.
It is required to make changes into the basic leadership skills of the project
manager so that the project work can gain of profit as well as profitability. For each of
the project program, the project manager can track of quality, time as well as cost so
that there is higher achievement of project profit in addition to success. In this
particular study, there is use of FT simulation as a method pathway (Otto et al.
2015). The FT portfolio simulation is accomplished of start-up portfolio of the
shareholdings besides aggregation with the clarification as well as examination of
business trends. The benefit of simulation technique is that the understudies and
guides helped into different courses all through the simulation training. It creates of
self-assurance among them. This specific procedure connects the hypothesis with
the instructing rehearses. It helps to study as well as analyse the teaching related
issues.
The specialists are taken part being developed obviously content and in
addition showing techniques, showing hypothesis part of this subject, coordination of
position notwithstanding advancement of arrangement of agreement learning
(Meredith et al. 2016). There is assessment of adequacy of learning methodologies.
The activity explore approach is considered as reasonable for this examination since

7PROJECT PLACEMENT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
this approach is empowered the scientists to end up dynamic members into
experience and encourage of understudies and at same time accumulation of
information (Nielsen et al. 2015). The activity explore is considered of three stages,
for example, arranging and in addition contract making, execution of learning
contracts and assessment of viability of agreement learning. Exchange of numerous
project tasks into the project sequencer is conceivable. The project supervisor can
select to outsource the plan work so that the project can gain of accomplishment and
encounter with the customer’s expectations.
