Introduction
The coordination of project management models helps in planning project and realizing the needed goals.
Project management aims to improve manage project activities and processes for a successful project.
To ensure a collaboration on activities and processes in the email upgrade system:
Waterfall or traditional management model
Critical path methodology
Considering the essential opportunity of upgrading an e-mail system develops a productive performance based market practices. There is the need of developing an upgrade to the existing e-mail system used by the department in management of employees and agency services. The focus is to improve the reliability and availability of the agency’s e-mail system with a new upgrades. The department seeks to upgrade its e-mail system to improve communication and be available for service (Kerzner, 2013). This is a crucial problem that the company needs to address by upgrading the email system. The project management also needs to develop and fully understand the process of plotting the project resources. It is also essential to help in fixing and implementing the needs and creative allocation for processes and functional performance. The importance of project management is to ensure allocation of resources. This will help to provide, engage and support organizational performance.

Value to the Project Manager
Water fall Methodology
Tasks will be done and accomplished in a logical manner and methodology or process.
Project stakeholders have to extensively engage each other and this will help in offering services and track of progress (Burke, 2013).
All task processes need to be accomplished in a sequential manner.
Waterfall model offers a critical path to the development of processes in a logical and sequential manner. Every task needs to be considered before the next task can be completed. This helps to reduce and improve the performance, management and overall resource planning. It is the logical solution, offering and process generation which helps in the sorting and managerial of ideal concepts. There is also the need for extensively using and developing the foundation to engage the stakeholders. The process is to engage and develop processes such as managing, developing and improving the social maintenance and planning. Gaining the development will eventually increase, develop and improve the social planning of an organization. Stakeholder includes development team, the team from business organization and management of the project in terms of budgeting and planning. Therefore, the waterfall system of management considers the necessary step by step organization. This will help in focusing, developing and finishing on the project planned.

Project Settings for Use
Waterfall Model
This is ideal in the development of software model or upgrading systems which rely on one another.
The model is a legacy for the approach into the simple and not complex projects in the software world (Kerzner, 2013).
It takes into consideration of the smaller tasks involved in project management especially in software development.
Waterfall model is a legacy system which can only be applied into the software development processes. This hinders the range and applications in which the processes can be used and developed effectively to reduce, promote, and increase operational effectiveness. There are also potential features, processes and how to fully engage in the production, performance and operational creation of process mapping. Developing these features will help in sorting, development and overall recognition. It is a process to ensure the phase of the software system development are met. To solve the different challenges in the modern interoperability to software and product development is difficult which reduces the ability for an effective social development. There is also the process to ensure, meet and improve the differences such as planning, creative allocation and improved attention from all stakeholders. The field of programming is large and wide and it is a challenge to ensure we met and develop to improve and engage the social expectations.

Is It Ideal for the Project?
Waterfall Model
Waterfall model offers a logical processes covering:
Project initiation phase
Project design
Project testing
Project implementation (Kerzner, 2013).
These processes will be vital in the implementation on the email-upgrading systems.
But it won’t ascertain on the recent risk of software development.
Waterfall model is only important and essential for meeting the processed and progress in terms of performance. It has four main phases. There is the projection gathering, initiation and analysis phase. This will deal with gathering on the system and user needs. This will be critical for the process gathering and how to fully improve system design and functionality. There is also the system design which is able to fully implement and meet the necessary needs such as implementation, planning and sorting out the general expectations of a system. Using the ideas, concepts and proper planning, it is also possible to use, develop and improve on the performance such as designing the system and meeting the social needs of a process. Consider creating, planning and generation of potential management to ensure, develop and improve the nature, processes and organizational performance. System management for waterfall system is to help, develop and demonstrate its processes.

Value to the Project Manager
Critical Path Methodology
Critical path methodology focuses on the critical stages and stages of a project.
Indicates the shortest possible ways for conducting and working out the necessary processes of any given task (Kelley, & Walker, 1959).
It also assigns resources to ensure the processes, tasks and resource management is fully developed and covered.
The critical path method in project management is all about the presentation of a critical processes and stages of a project. It outlines the detailed information of a project while developing different critical resources and processes critical to the performance and applications critical the developed of a project. The critical path indicates the shortest possible ways of completing a project no matter if the given projects’ stages are long and will ultimately end at the possible end of the project (Nafkha & Wiliński, 2016). This helps to address the processes and ways to achieve the needed functionality. It is also important to consider on how to effectively compare, develop and improve resources supporting the overall generation and considerations. It is the budget approach which develops the essentials of the project to meet agile expectations. It is a creative approach to meet and improve the resources such as planning and accessing operational performance.

Project Settings for Use
Critical Path Methodology
The applications of the critical path methodology is in the project appraisals and performance.
It is also an effective methodology to ensure processes and projects are aligned to meet the expectations of a project (Kelley, & Walker, 1959).
It can also be applied in effective budgeting to ensure project meets the ideal budgeting techniques.
There is the need of project management techniques to help in meeting the expectations of a project. Managing software processes will require a constant performance and stakeholder performance, hence, it is ideal and important to effectively increase operational effectiveness and scheduling of a software to meet the needs of a project planning process. Taking into consideration, the project of developing an email upgrade system, critical path will help by taking into considerations the necessary steps and processes to a low breakdown processes by indicating the time framing of starting and finishing the project tasks, which is project scheduling. More importantly, it will be essential in mapping and fully finishing the necessary plans such as project evaluation techniques by scheduling the project processes, creating time frames, allocating resources and indicating the possible changes in managing project changes.

Ideal for the Project
Critical Path Methodology
The critical methodology is a process to ensure the project meets the necessary budget allocations.
The processes are also essential for targeting the final outcome of any given project (Kerzner, 2013).
It also favors the conditions for project initiation to the planning to define the project outcomes.
Critical path will break the processes into a small tasks and these events will help in the development for project processes. Mapping the task will help in the cogeneration from resource allocations to different processes, these stages are transferred into network diagrams and it is essential to indicate the necessary steps in completing a project. For instance, in software development, there is the need of developing different project methodologies to effectively design a software product. The critical path will identify the most identical and clear ideas such as planning to meet the requirement specifications. The critical path method, in form of network diagram, it will identify the critical processes and ideally develop a structured plan for accomplishing the steps and the shortest path possible for completing the project (Nafkha & Wiliński, 2016). The critical path method’s main is to reduce bottlenecks in project and time framing for different processes in project management. It can be used for quality management and ensuring there is a focus on achieving focus and performance.
