By knowing how long it will take to complete the project, you can figure out when each event
in the critical path should start and end. In addition, the table displays what seems to be
duplicate data, such as the most recent start (LS) and end (LS) (LF). The non-critical route,
on the other hand, is not experiencing the same conditions as in the recent past.
Since these activities aren't essential, even if they take longer than expected, the project won't
be finished on time. It is essential that event E be performed concurrently with event D in
order to prevent further delays in the project's completion.

The project's progress is shown in network diagrams. It's a useful tool for determining
project progress since it shows the sequence of operations in a project and the overall
direction from start to finish. (wvin30, 2020)

In other words, does this individual have an excessive number of or insufficient number
of specific duties to complete? As a result, the company can determine if someone has
too much responsibility already or could take on more. Use the RACI framework to
ensure that deliverables are completed successfully because everyone involved is
informed.

Customer input- it is crucial to maintaining high-quality standards. But it's not only about
getting it; it's also about acting on it. The more data you extract from calls, the more
opportunities you'll have to act on it and enhance your service quality. (Anon, n.d.)

11. Conclusion
Glamso's primary goal was to enhance the system's stability and capacity to accommodate and
manage the increasing number of customer support calls. Glamso had been using the current
Bravo system for nine years when it became inadequate to manage the current number of
customer support calls. As a result, this paper details how Glamso plans to install, configure,
test, and deploy the new Alpha call tracking system in lieu of the existing Bravo system.
Glamso also has done the WBS structure in order to break the work into clusters to make the
project coordinators to do their work adequately. The main aim of Glamso was not only to
introduce the new alpha call tracking system but also to ensure the accuracy of the system and
the work flow to be continued to the system throughout the project.
The Glamso organization has also meet the requirement of quality management in order to
produce the best product. And they had a proper plan of quality controlling, quality
management, quality organization and their customer reproach was also done in the accurate
way. The Glamso organization had the communication report as per the requirement they met
and according to the project’s needs.
They had also taken the risk management section by analyzing the risk, occurrence of the risk,
risk mitigation, avoiding future risk. Furthermore, the WBS-based budget and cost distribution
plan was required to determine the cost split and ensure that the project could be completed
within the given budget.
The project manager and team members would use the quality management plan and risk
management plan to implement different quality management, quality assurance, and risk
management methods, tools, and activities to guarantee the successful migration and operation
of the new Alpha system.
