Cost Break Down:

Network Diagram

A Risk Assessment Plan and Risks:

The first risk is about the time frame and meeting the deadlines.

The second risk is the increase in the additional cost that may increase the cost of project.

Increase in the number of people cause more focus and communication within team.

There is a greater risk of misunderstanding if the numbers of workers increase.

There is a risk if project is completed hurriedly to meet the time frame.

The risk assessment plan is depend on the project manager because he is the most senior and experienced person in all. He has to do things in such a way that ensure greater success within an appropriate time.
