Project Management, Planning and Control
Part 1
One such project plan that did not work involved a strategy at my fraternity that involved establishing an emergency response system that alerts the emergency response team of any kind of emergency that may occur. The nature of the emergency response framework involved establishing both the internet security measures on the fraternity networks. Additionally, there would be provisions that mainly focused on other kinds of emergencies such as fires, chemical spills, or physical intrusions. The main challenge of the project involved establishing the fire and chemical spill emergency measures. The committee for implementing the emergency plan had to contend with the additional costs that involved rebuilding most of the fraternity buildings if not destroying most parts of the building if at all they were to implement an emergency response environment that they had planned.
