Storm	Ø The infrastructure of the barbeque gets affected due to strong wind. Ø The cooks of the barbeque will face problems in cooking Ø The productivity of the barbeque decreases as less number of customers will visit the barbeque on a stormy day.	$20,000	Ø Need of a charcoal lit Ø A starter chimney is very much helpful. Ø Removing the barbeque to a spot that is out of the storm Ø Measuring temperature of the barbeque during windy day

1. Consulting and finalising project plan

It is very much important for the project manager to consult with the team members because the team member helps in providing proper information about the development of the project. The project managers can gain knowledge about the risks that are associated with the project and their mitigation plans. Proper as well as effective consultation leads to complete the project successfully within the estimated time and date.

 If the project managers will face any problem related with the development of the project then it is quite important to consult with the team members because their suggestions might be helpful in resolving the issue.

1. Clarifying project team responsibilities

It is very much important that the project team members must be clear about their responsibilities as well as project requirements. The project managers must assign responsibilities to the various employees according to their capability. The requirements of the project must be discussed with the team members and a team leader is present in every team who guides the members of the team in understanding the project needs as well as their responsibility.

If each employee is aware of the project requirements as well as its work then the procedure of development of the project will be easier and the project will be completed successfully within the estimated budget as well as time.
