Week 7 Budgeting Time and Valuing Risk Management 

You have been assigned to analyze the project plan of a payroll system that is behind schedule and over budget. The project was supposed to be completed in one (1) year, but now, it is running about three (3) months behind schedule and 25% over budget. It is expected that the project may continue to fall further behind schedule and over budget. Your superior wants to know if the project can be saved. Recommend a series of actions to save the project and identify the risks in taking such an approach.

 Week 8 Discussion: TQM Planning 

Imagine your company is being considered for subcontracting the management of a project because of your firm’s excellent human resource and quality management skills.
