...does not mean the contractor can start doing the work. Before the project can proceed, a contract must be signed between the customer and the contractor. A contract is a vehicle for establishing good customer–contractor communications and arriving at a mutual understanding and clear expectations to ensure project success. It is an agreement between the contractor, who agrees to perform the project and to provide a product or service (deliverables), and the customer, who agrees to pay the contractor a certain amount in return. The contract must clearly spell out the deliverables the contractor is expected to provide. For example, a contract will state that the project result will meet certain specifications or that certain documentation will be provided. The contract must also state the terms by which the customer will make payments to the contractor. There are basically two types of contracts: fixed-price and cost-reimbursement. FIXED-PRICE CONTRACTS In a fixed-price contract, the customer and the contractor agree on a price for the proposed work. The price remains fixed unless the customer and the contractor agree on changes. This type of contract provides low risk for the customer because the customer will not pay more than the fixed price, regardless of how much the project actually costs the contractor. However, a fixed-price contract is high risk for the contractor because if the cost of completing the project is more than originally planned, the contractor will make a lower...

...Uncertainty on Project Planning Process Project across most industries face huge uncertainty as regard to complex, ambiguous and dynamic environment (external environment) which can have impact on the project planning process. Similarly, projects are becoming larger and more ambiguous which make the execution and realisation of project complexity to be on the increase therefore increase our internal complexity. (Azim, 2010) established that project are increasingly being characterized as complex across most industries and sectors. (Vidal et al. 2011, p. 719) define project complexity as the property of a project which make it difficult to understand, foresee and keep under control, even when given reasonably complete information about the project system. Besner and Hobbs project (2012) established that size, complexity and together with risk (known unknown) and uncertainty (unknown unknown) are path of project characteristics to be considered in selection of project management toolsets to be adopted in their management approach. Each of the project classification approaches attempt to address interaction between complexity and uncertainty and the impact this interaction has on project planning process. The key principles for addressing complexity in the planning process. The complexity of project has always been there which make the need to execute and bring realisation of project complexity on the increase. Therefor the key principles of project complexity in the...

...Foundation Board of Directors Subject: Overall Review and Funding Decisions of Proposals The Heathcot-Lynn Foundation has been an innovator in the health and safety sector for many years. Due to the popularity of this foundation the amount of proposals received is astronomical. In a perfect scenario, funding could be given to every proposal, seeing as how perfect scenarios are almost impossible to come by some tough decisions need to be made. My team and I have given much thought to the $3000 we can allocate across the four different proposals. Procedures The most important part for every member on our team to understand is what a good proposal looks like, and what it takes for an idea to be funded. After our team understood that idea they were able to analyze each proposal individually, so individual opinions could be formed to enable constructive input in the larger group meeting. Keeping in mind the evaluation criteria Heathcot-Lynn provided us; need for project, goal, project approach, cost, and impact our team got down to work collaboratively. Findings The first proposal submitted by the Skyline Coalition comes to us with not just one issue, but two. Right away it is clear to understand the need for, and goals of this project. The first problem arises when looking at the project approach criteria. The proposal doesn’t say how they plan on sustaining the prescription distribution beyond the three month time frame funding would allow. It’s almost impossible to reach a goal...

...submitting a proposal to upgrade the information system for the entire regional medical practice. The project included integrating the six offices and two pharmacies into one system; the physicians will eventually hire an information systems person to oversee the operation of the system. Dr. Houser wanted Paul’s firm to do it, rather than other large consulting firms, which had prepared a request for proposal with the help of the organization’s purchasing manager. However, the divergence existed among Paul’s group. Paul was enthusiastic about the opportunity, while Maggie moaned that she couldn’t spend any time helping with the proposal, and Steve said this project was too big to do for them. Significant Learning Points 1. Sometimes organizations identify several or many needs but have limited funds and people available to pursue potential projects to address all of those needs. In this case, the three partners must go through a decision-making process to prioritize and selected the project that would result in the greatest overall benefit. 2. Projects are identified in various ways by different organizations. It is important to clearly define the need. This may require gathering data about the need or opportunity to help determine if it is worth pursuing. Paul wanted to propel their firm into a new business arena, while Maggie and Steve thought it was not the best decision. They focused on different objectives. 3. Develop a set of criteria against which the project will...
