Project Scope The purpose of this Project is to maintain a strong brand for Marriott Hotels in Florida. The Project meets the hotels’ needs since it will play a significant role in increasing the number of tourists it receives annually. Therefore, the project deliverables will include implementing an 5 integrated system that will monitor the number of visitors the hotels receive annually after the project implementation.
One of the most significant risks associated with this Project is whether it will be successfully implemented within the indicated duration. Project Milestone The approval of the Project will be based on the millstone schedule provided below.

Cost-Benefit Analysis 1. Expected Cost Cost description Amount Legal $1,000 Promotional materials $100 Computers $1,000 Contractors $1,000 Employees $2,400 Other $250 2. Expected Benefit The cost-benefit analysis will play a significant role in tracking the funds expenditure during the project implementation process. It also provides a prior estimation hence giving a better idea before starting the project implementation. Breaking such cost descriptions provides a better overview of making an educated guess on how the funds will be used in the project implementation process.
9 Summary The project manager has the responsibility of interfering with the project budget when required. The project manager still has the responsibility to delegate duties among the team members and appropriately communicate with both the contractors and management team.

1. Legal charges cost amounting to $1000
2. The cost incurred in promotion materials amounting to $100
3. Computers purchased at $1000
4. Payment to contractors of $1000
5. Employees expenses amounting to $2400
6. Other expenses amounting to $250 The duration of the project will include the time from the assessment of the project. Employee hiring and training is also part of the duration process. Considering all the necessary factors, the project will take 220 days to be complete. Date during the project and percentage completion Date: 24/3/2021 Time into project: 7 months Percentage completion: 60% Expected completion to date: 24/5/2021 Current project cost: $5750 17 Budget at completion: $6000 Cost performance index Cost performance index = earned value/actual cost Earned value = % of complete work * budget at completion. Earned value = 60% * $6000 = 3600 Cost performance index = 3600/5750 = 0.6261 Schedule performance index Schedule performance index = earned value/planned value Schedule performance index = 3600/6000 = 0.6 The project baseline was targeted to be a cost of $6000 for completion of the project. The actual cost incurred in the project is $5750.
The actual cost of the project is below the project baseline at $250. Project evaluation Evaluation Value Planned value $6000 Earned value $3600 Cost of variance $250 Schedule variance $2400 Cost performance index 0.6261 18 Schedule performance index 0.6 To complete index 1 Variance at completion $250 Evaluation of the current project shows the project cost is below what is expected or below the targeted cost. I predict that in future, the cost will not exceed the budgeted cost of the project.
