Integrated Project Management Tools

Project Management Tools Name: Institution: Introduction Green state project started back in the year 2008, as a major project with the aim of filling in the energy gap conventionally used for cooking mostly in the countryside and camps. The hierarchy of the energy used starts from electricity coming down to firewood. Most of the people that use gas and electricity are doing well economically, but the project targets those that are much lower on the economic front. Firewood and charcoal are not only environmentally degrading but also affects the health of those using them as a source of energy. The project aimed at introducing plant oil stoves that have minimal carbon emissions, as well as reducing the effect of cutting down trees, which adversely degrades the environment. The oil is extracted from plants and is not flammable, rendering the stoves very safe to use. The project deliverables included; setting up of a highly advanced production firm within seventeen months, to manufacture and sell two hundred thousand stoves in the first year of operation. To fuel the stoves the projected amount of oil for the first year was one million gallons. In the second year, there was a projection of erecting service forty-six stations, throughout the state. The project was allocated ten million dollars to start; in addition, there were two midsized vans and a single twenty tonne truck. The skilled labour force, was thirteen two, plus twenty-six semi-skilled workers.

In every project, there is countless decision made, sometimes within minutes. For the ultimate decision to be reached, there are several steps that need to be followed to facilitate the delicate process. It is important to know the person who has the power to make that decision...
