Various associated resources of project items and requirements are essential to gather within adequate time and budget framework to meet project objectives (Pasian, 2015). As the production process confines several Technological goods, software are applications, project manager needs to implement innovative and strategic planning to incorporate cost and time effective purchase, operations and installations within systematic empirical evidence. In order to fine distinguish suppliers, a written checklist is inevitable as it deals with production, souring, development and transportation.
Identification of potential suppliers includes two parts which are identifying suppliers and screening and verifying candidates. Drawing an ideal supplier profile helps the project team to address definite needs regarding software, tools, and digital appliances. The availability of wide range availability is necessary to meet project objectives. The project has selected two Australian based software development companies such as Unified Infotech and Fingent to develop effective services. In addition, the project team must need to engage with potential vendors such as software provider, digital goods provider and installation company that provides adequate design options and cost effective services to sustain budget efficiency and time allocation within both approaches of advertising media. As per the view of Busch (2016), Background information of suppliers, payment structure and function availabilities are also an integral part of hiring potential suppliers such as IT engineers, Software developers and designers.
2b. Suppliers Criteria and Expertise

Based on the requirements, project crashing tool are required to implement to enclose adequate time schedule to deliver within given time Frame. Discovery and site design process can be performed together to save time. In addition, Site content planning and development process of appropriate actions activities can be performed in parallel form to incorporate higher time frame.
Project crashing is a complex and difficult task to shift time-cost allocation of the project. The role of specialist is inevitable in case of Both PMBOK and Agile production process of the website development program.
Crash Analysis of PMBOK
Creasing value of the project provides adequate information for preplanning of time and cost while assuming performance and quality are fixed along with a specific outcome. PMBOK Approach defines project crashing as a schedule compression tool that provides sufficient compressed value of cost and schedule tradeoffs by providing additional resources (DeFillippi & Sydow, 2016). Compression of project has direct impact of project completion time as project creasing concentrates on time schedule of the project. Based on the current situation of website development, it can be stated that project creasing includes various plausible components such as over time, additional allocation of resources within specific activities, incentive payments for early completion and hiring new resources. These creases allow project manager to satisfy client and stakeholders respectively while maintaining creative objectives of Bounce Fitness advertising objectives.
Crash Analysis of Agile
Project crashing in agile production process helps to determine creative changes within advertising content and production development process. Hiring potential specialists are essential for project crashing as it allows reducing risk magnitudes and challenges of the project. This crash element also measures the efficiency of special work to determine effectiveness of advanced methods while considering creative objectives of Bounce Fitness content.
Justification of the creased project can be evaluated by considering various segments of creasing values of the inputs. The prime objective of project crashing is to sustain effective project schedule time and cost allocation while determining ethical and legal obligations. The success of CPA can be measured by the following points. The functional relationship between cost and time can be preplanned by introducing CPA within both production process of advertising approach. Project managers can generate alternative time and cost scenarios (Darling & Whitty, 2026). It is also designed to provide feasible options to the client along with reviewing and adopting a range of cost time crucial carve while saving time adjustments and its implications on cost structure of the project.
4a. Evaluation of Project Success based on cost and quality
Creative team normally works under rigorous deadlines and faces significantly difficulties to keep the quality of the contexts along with maintaining project subordinates within a collaborative environment. Lack of communication and information, difficulties is sharing collective and collaborative goals and misunderstanding project enforcement requirements are the prime obstacles of the creation of creative brief. However, evaluation of cost effectiveness and quality are essential within the project production process as it provides a complete picture of total cost associated and measurement of advanced facilities within product services. As the production process undergoes various distinct project crashing methods, variation of cost and quality often occurs within the project.
Cost benefit analysis is an effective technique that helps project manager to weigh the benefits of the quality efforts with cost to ensure quality and requirements of the project. In the given context of Bounce Fitness advertisement project, implementation of Rule of Seven can be an effective initiative to measure cost effectiveness while selecting non random factors (Gilbert, 2017). Rule of Seven suggests the project manager that even if these non random factors are within limit, the outcomes of the project may be out of control. Benchmarking technique can be implemented by evaluating other similar projects outcomes. Design of experiments also effective for project valuations test as it allows manager to change various statistical values to understand the amount of impacts.
4b. Validation of project Evaluation process
Validation of the project can be evaluated by understanding various importance factors of the project such as cost of quality (COQ), cost effectiveness and quality management plan. COQ refers to a systematic empirical framework that includes cost of conformance and cost of non conformance to quality and creating an adequate balance between them. In order to incorporate productive and stable project conclusion, the cost of conformance needs to be lower than the cost of no conformance.
Development of quality management plan is inevitable for project as it allows determining what quality is and outing in a plan to manage quality assurance aspects. Implementation of quality measure matrix can be an effective alternative for project manager to evaluate important aspects and factors of the project by placing them significantly (Meredith et al. 2017). A quality checklist is important to inspect functional movements and steps to be performed. It helps the manager to evaluate disputes and project detects. Process improvement plan is necessary for project management as it will save time by increasing efficiency and preventing issues. It also saves money that enhances the likelihood of profitability and customer satisfaction options.
4c. Evaluation of Final Advertisement
The final advertisement can be conducted in an efficient manner with the proper use of online media such as social media and various forums. Social media applications and websites such as Facebook and Twitter are highly effective in advertising processes (Rosemann & vom Brocke, 2015). Additionally, the use of forums can help to provide people with information relating to new developments. As stated by Sarif, Omar & Shiratuddi (2016), the use of offline and printed media such as Newspapers and Magazines are also efficient in providing insights regarding the project. The evaluation processes can be conducted by analyzing the results gained from the advertisements.
Conclusion
This work matrix upholds each project objectives and taken initiatives that helped to exaggerate innovative approaches to diminish project risks and uncertainties while increasing the likelihood of project success. Advertisement production includes various significant medium to describe its outsourcing services and accommodations to configure notifications. Production process has significant impacts on the success of the project as it allows implementing innovative project approaches like PMBOK and Agile to manage tasks, schedule and planning. Various distinct steps of website development program needs to be supplied by sufficient resources to increase transparency and accountability. This study described the plan production process of advertisements of Bounce Fitness and evaluated potential suppliers based on expertise qualities. The study also consists of advertising production process and successful evaluated the implementation of production process such as PMBOK and Agile as systematic approach.
