The stages of risk management are identification, assessment, analysis, management and finally evaluation. In the identification phase, all the stakeholders as per the project plan would be involved in assessing the risk that may impact the final outcome of the project.
Using the project management principles for risk assessment, the table below illustrates the key risks.

As is basis |
The gantt chart below illustrate the resource and activity planned from design to maintenance phase. With the help of the Gantt chart the total proect will be segmented in small phases and the completon of te project will become much easier The details of te Gantt chart is shown below.
The diagram below illustrates the critical path which shows the shortest time the project can be completed along with the impact of any delays due to incremental weather or labour issues. As identified in the project plan the key resources are not constrained so the critical path does not include resourcing as a factor.
The critical path diagram should start at identification phase 6 days and you can have an EF (early Finish) of -1 day or LF (late finish) of +1 days. The next phase is Procurement for which you have scheduled 18 days and you could potentially have an early finish by shaving a few days with the procurement process or you could have delays which would mean a late finish. The implementation phase is for 13 days and given the fact that it is labour intensive we should finish on time or have a late finish by 2 days to account for weather etc. Maintenance phase would be unchanged and this would give you the critical path diagram to identify the shortest time to complete the project.
Project cost baseline is that specific part of the project baseline which handles the net money that the project manager has been predicted to cost and in other hand, money will be spent. This is an approved budget that is usually within time distribution format utilized for estimating, monitoring and controlling the overall cost performance of the project. For this particular project the cost baseline is as follows:
