While doing contracting plan owner should choose what time of contract
should done
It should involve examination of alternative
c) Organization plan
It is basically to do list for organization
It list out the plan of work for organization growth
There are mainly 4 stages in organization plan
Strategic plan: set the broad long term goal
Tactical plan: set the short term goal to achieve long term goal
Operational plan: set the work standards
Contingency plan: Prepare the backup plan if primary plan
fails
d) System and Procedure Plan :
It is the last stage of PEP
There are mainly 7 subsystem in this

Configuration management
Time management
Cost management
Fund management
Materials management

Advantages
It indicate vulnerability of project
It shows where further action to be taken
It Reflect the Concerns of Project evaluator
Disadvantages
It shows only what happen to NPV
Here only one variable is consider for analysis
It doesn’t gives idea about how project will change
Harinath N Lecturer

Project management Skills (20PM01T)
Advantages
It is versatile in nature
It can handle the problem
It indicate the variation in factors like cost and time
Disadvantages
If the cost of project is exceeds the budget of project it leads to cost risk
It consider the different cost such as labor, materials, equipment, administration etc
Simulation method is used for Cost Risk analysis
Cost Risk analysis consist of following steps
