and exclusion as follows
- Limits in predicting unexpected mistakes which can unexpectedly happen in the
process of implementation
- Lack of training documents for staff
- Difficulties in finding suitable and effective distribution channels

Vietnam market
3. PROJECT PRIORITIES
Project priorities are factors which help firms access trade-offs and alternatives during
the process of implementation and project management (Kendrick, 2012). For example,
the project has been in trade-off between scope and cost, in details, the higher the
investment cost is, the wider the scope of the project is. Aiming to achieve wider scope,
project management must trade-off with higher cost of investment.
7. There are three priorities which the project “Launching new product line – MYMY by
Phuong My” need to satisfy, such as scope, time and cost.
Scope Time Cost
Constraint
Enhanced
Acceptable
Scope with constraint level
MYMY by Phuong My – the second product line of PHUONG MY has been invested
with high capital and the aim of reaching wide range of Asian customers. Hence, scope
of the project is the most important priority, thus leading to be prioritized as constraint
level.
Time with enhanced level
New product line – MYMY by Phuong My is expected to be launched in August, 2016
which is the starting month of Fall/Winter 2016 and also the most suitable shopping
season in one year so time is really important but not urgent. Hence, time is prioritized
at enhanced level
Cost with acceptable level
In term of cost, with high investment and focus, even though sticking into the budget as
high as possible, raising over budget is still acceptable, but not desired.
