Method1 to estimate CP savings of FTP tasks:
WhencalculatingCPsavingswe use the long-poleestimate of 23 days remainingduringthe duration
of eachtasks,followedbycalculatingbasedonastart date fromthe day the status reportwas
generated.Whichwill give usasavingsof 6 daysoff the currentCP.

Summary:
Lookingback intoourdata, if we analzye the projectwe show that we will come inonor around the
completiondate we have.Thisalsoincludesanyset-backs.The onlythingwe will require forthisis
resource reallocation whichwe will needanadditional 4-7kandwe will alsorequire forthe firewall
expensestobe sentto our IT team, that waywe can have our budgetcurrentwitwhat we originally
projected.Thatwaywe ensure thatthe entire scope of the projectandschedule restrictionsare met
and that we do notexperience anymore set-backsof the project.
Details:
Goingback to the budget,we had a fewissuesthatwe can classifyasMajor or Critical onthe
budget,whichimpactedorprojectedBAC.One of the majorissueswe hadwasexpenseswasadding

Scope
The biggest issue we have is assuring that our customers accept our revised business model. We have
been advised that we will need to test and conduct a gat herring process to validate the business scope
and assure that our customers are satisfied with this model. We have received fee-back that customers
are concerned about the cost increase in services as well as a decrease in service. This could lead to a
negative impact in loss of business, so we need to assure that we do not experience any loss of
business and all parties are contempt with the new model.
We have restricted severalof our resources to assure the project meets the deadline and we are
effective with scheduling and all teams deliver their part on time. That way we avoid any more issues
or delays.
Next Steps
The project is incomplete as of now and at 59% completion rate. The table below represents all the
incomplete tasks that we currently have as open. Anything that is critical is highlighted in red and
14. those critical tasks should be done first if it falls in line with the work step by step and has no impact
on the overall tasks.
