5.	Tasks to shorten project duration: 	Develop test plan 	Database Design 6.	Reason: Both can be done in short time and be less costly. For both I would increase the number of workforce thus reducing time.

7.	In planning phase, the project manager needs to: 	Have enough to plan 	Think soberly while planning 8.	The exercise consumes time and therefore if the project manager to it in a haste he/she may end up making a lot of mistakes that might be costly. So, one must consider taking enough time to plan in an appropriate manner. Secondly, one should think soberly while planning to ensure that he/she untwists all areas 	with regard to task.

9.	Strategies to adopt to ensure that the project is completed on time. As a project manager, I will ensure that the project is completed on time through using 	time management strategies. This will be achieved through ensuring that all tasks are well 	articulated and in a systematic manner. Project needs to be executed by professionals and 	there will be no shortcuts. I will also ensure that the set budget is used wisely as per the 	task allocated. The project timeframe also needs to be followed optimally without 	alterations unless where very necessary. 10.	If I found that the project will be delivered late to the customer, I will ensure that I have informed the customer earlier enough of the possible delay. In addition, I will make sure that the project is done with minimal delay. I will also involve more mechanisms to make customer happy like, ensuring that I provide quality work and still there will be need to have constant communication with the customer.

Part B. 1.	The duration of the project will be the same. 2.	The completion date will not change as well. 3.	This means the length of the project is same as compared to Part A.

4.	The impact that these changes will have is on the project budget. The budget will go slightly go higher to $168,080.00 because of the increase of the workforce. However, the affected days will have less working hours per individual person.

Part C. 1.	To resolve the over-allocation issues one will need to check on the time allocation part so that one lowers the time available to work. 2.	The changes in number of software engineers have no impact on the project finish date because it is fixed, but overload to works will increase. 3.	The budget is affected, as it will go up due to the payment of extra hours to the software engineers.
