THE GOVERNMENT FREEPORT HOTEL PURCHASE, REMEDIATION/RENOVATION BUDGET



The Government Freeport Hotel Purchase, Remediation /Renovation Budget In my view, If this Project is going to be nimble and effective there are some factors that must be esoteric and Grokked by the Government.

To Create Both an accurate schedule and a detailed budget for a project, it is important to know both the Effort and the Duration required to complete a work package. For a schedule, duration of a task or work element is important. The Critical Path, Critical Chain or whatever management style is determined to be used, Only after One of the Two is Decided Upon and Known, Then one can know how long a project is scheduled to take relative to Time.
