Project Management Questionnaire and Examples
1. Who is accountable when you manage a project?

The engagement structure applies an integrated onshore/offshore delivery model making a major use of offshore advantages and resources.

A cost plan will then be finished showing the cost of using each of the outline resources to be used in the project and the respective project timeline. A payment plan is then finally conducted detailing the project financing plan. This shows what portions of the project budget are needed at what time in order to complete tasks in the work package and fulfill the payment.
