Aim of the project manager is to govern the project activities by developing all the aims and the objectives as according to the existing nature of the project. Arranging National Conference on October 2018 is governed by setting project Limitations and the restrictions to ensure the higher quality of the overall project. Wrong information displayed in the form of an event can misguide all the participants whoever attends this event can spoil the image of the globally recognized institute (JOSEPH. PHILLIPS, CBAP and PMP, 2018). Wring displaying of the information is one of the limitations of this project which needs to be managed in order to stay connected with its audiences and able to secure the entire image of the institute. All the limitations of the project are visible to its audiences to attend the event before cross-questioning the image of the institute and the entire reliability of the event.

Resources play an integral role in a project to get it completed without this the completion of the project is not imagined.

External resources used in arranging the National Conference in the year 2018 in Melbourne Australia to spread the latest and the technological advancements to the notice of all the participants in Australia with the support of the Project management institute. This association supports the project manager in systematically completing all its project activities.
