GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT MANAGEMENTGroup work
Course Outline- To develop LRT in Mumbai• Project feasibility- 4 Indians more than 25 years old • Risk management• International markets & considerations
 Part 1 Project Feasibility• International contracting
Need Analysis• Project financing – BOT etc, financial riskEngineering and design alternatives• Value & value stream Management
Impact analysis• Engineering & procurement management
Financial analysis• Collaboration technologies
Evaluation(AHP) Part 2 Pre-bid planning
Risk registration
Legal, technical impact
Cross-culturalOrganization structure5

Coursework [Output]
Part2: Risk registration
Risk Detail [Build stage]
Crane and transportation vehicle can not able toreach at exact location due to Mumbai congestion

Mitigation[Likelihood*Consequence] Divert traffic
Unacceptable Construction in early morning Transportation in night
Acceptable

Residual risk
 Reduced to acceptable level but nut eliminated Transportation cost in night is higher
