Program constraints

In this program, there are three main constraints such as resources, schedule and scope. It is required for the project manager to determine the resource, schedule and scope constraints which affect successful completion of this program work on scheduled time (Kerzner and Kerzner 2017). The below table provides with tripe constraint flexibility matrix, which provides guidance to the project manager about the constraints in areas when determination of the trade offs in planning in addition to change control.

Table 1: Triple Constraint Flexibility Matrix

In this program, resource constraint is occurred when there is lack of project resources and proper people are not hired as per their expertise and program requirements. Therefore, it is required to hire of proper project resources, so that all the program tasks are distributed among the project team members. Schedule constraint is occurred when the program is not able to complete on time as per planned time, it is caused when there are sudden addition of the participants into the program (Turner 2014). The scope constraints are occurred when the project is not on track and not meetings with the project requirements. It is occurred when the program is not able to meet deliverables and activities that define the program boundaries.

Program success criteria

The success criteria of this program are that the program manager delivers the program on provided timeframe as well as estimated cost. The manager requires working directly with the employees those are expertise into advanced technology implementation and ensuring that the deliverables are meet with client’s opportunities (Larson and Gray 2015). The other success factors are attending the program meetings on time, update the progress regarding the installation and testing of the qualification programme.

Baseline benefits and current benefits

The baseline benefits the program by evaluating the progress of that program and performing of the forecasting. Into this work, there are three major baselines such as scope, schedule as well as cost baseline. Based on scope baseline, the program is provided with a detailed scope statement that there is delivery of 550 meters TCP flow line, offshore installation, engineering along with field support. The schedule baseline is final approval of the project and it is being approved by the project stakeholders used as actual data to complete the program on time. The cost baseline provides with aggregate of the cost of all the project activities plus the contingency reserve. The qualification program is performed at Airborne Oil & Gas manufacturing facility, Netherlands and it was completed by the year 2017. The current benefits of this program are that Airborne oil and gas help to reduce cost of subsea developments into the deep waters.
