Solution Preview

Introduction:

This project will be based on a task that has been assigned to me by a client, where I have been given the task not only to showcase the product but to manage the event of trade show for the organization in most effective and efficient manner.

It includes a breakdown of tasks, dependencies, task budgets, task start and finish dates, task duration, and resource assignments. All of these components will allow benchmarking the project’s progress against the time and resources I have allocated to the project which helps keep it closely within budget and on time.

- It helps the project team stay on task and meet deadlines.
- It provides a common frame of reference, foundation, and documentation for stakeholders, the team, and management.
