Risks | Strategies |
Resource over allocation | I-Crop should focus on developing online crop buying selling platform to the consumers. Based on the project specifications the project manager should assign the project resources at the project initiation phase. |
Distributed project team | Due to the distributed project team internal conflict may occur and that can be resolved is the project team members follow open communication approach. |
Lack of technical experienced members | Proper technical and development program |
The aim of Globex is to deliver an affordable, user friendly as well as business effective crop selling buying online platform to the consumers of I-Crop.

Annotated bibliography
This article portrays the importance of stakeholder’s involvement to a project for its successful implementation. Tough, for this project the specifications are nominated for building projects. It is determined that, with different groups of project phases different stakeholders are associated (Heravi, Coffey & Trigunarsyah, 2015). This successful incorporation can be add on to the services based on the complexity of the activities and the skills and knowledge of the project stakeholders. It s examined that the level of involvement for this project is possibly mentioned for four group of stakeholders. In each of the phase their involvement plays key role. The article also reviewed that highest involvement with the project is served by the project manager whereas contractors have a lowest rate of engagement to the panning process of the projects. It also defines that the involvement of the stakeholders can improve the business effectiveness during the project initiation up to the project management planning phase. How by controlling the interaction a project can be completed with the support of the stakeholders is also elaborated in this article.
This journal reflects the details of practical application as well as empirical evaluation of the reference for project management forecasting. It is defined that with the successful implementation of practical implementation the ideas of project manager will grow at a higher rate. The difference between the traditional project managers and the current project managers are also illustrated here considering the identification of the reference classes, probability distribution and class distribution (Batselier & Vanhoucke, 2016). How an empirical database management system can restrict the data flow control in a project is also illustrated in this journal. In addition to this, for selecting the reference class how the probability distribution approach is beneficial are ate illustrated here. Not only this but also, the details application of the RFC method and their 3 steps implementation process are also illustrated in this journal. Even for multiple experimental study also this approach is very much beneficial that is also elaborated here considering Monte Carlo Simulation approach.
According to Lappe and Spang (2014), any company will be able to obtain commercial profit from the competitive market if it invests lot in project management. Considering the relationship between the costs and project management profits are all elaborated in this report. How mostly the business organizations gain commercial profit from their application are also elaborated considering both the qualitative and quantitative profits. In addition to this, the different evolutionary stages are also illustrated in this journal. There must be an accurate balance between the investment and the profit that could have gained from the project management prcatices are also mentioned here. In order to accomplish any project how the estimated cost can be structured is calculated considering the Return in Investment (ROI) cost benefit analysis approach.
The testing phase of the online platform development project of ICrop has been successfully completed
The MOV for the I-Crop online website development project will be functionally evaluated by the project manager before the final launching.
