Answer 1

Q1) When the relationships are more important than the goals of the project, people make use of a smoothing approach to resolve project conflict. in this approach, people try to accommodate , E.g., Its's okay, i will make it work". In this although relationships are saved, bitterness gets in for a longer run. The person who accommodates is been taken advantage of.

Q2) An individual who is actively involved, have his influence over the project or its deliverables and can get affected positively or negatively due to work or output of the project is a stakeholder.

Q3) The process is known as Project Scope Management. It ensure that the project has been defined properly, it includes what work is to be done and what work is not to be included for project completion. It ensures that the project is completely without any unnecessary effort.

Q4) Variance = {(P-O)/6}²

32/3 = {(12-O)/6}²

32/3*36 = (12-O)²

384 = (12-O)²

19.59 = 12-O

O= - 7.595 i.e. Optimistic time estimate
