Indented WBS Structure
The development of the project management concepts and tools had been helpful for developing the influence of the operations. There are certain factors that would be deployed for the management of the project operations. The influence of the development model for the project operations would be held responsible for the modification of the existing project management tools. The Social Media Research Centre would require the development of their operations and functions for the organizational development. The following report had been developed for the formation of the project management tools like WBS, project schedule, risk register, and quality management plan.

The estimation of the project budget is developed for forming the analysis of the individual project operations and activities. The salaries of people working, cost of tools used, equipment’s maintenance cost, and materials are to be considered for the completion of the project. The direct costs would be evaluated and estimated for forming the budget of the project.
Known Knowns: The known knowns in the project are the direct costs of materials, equipments and tools used. They have been considered while making the resource sheet budget in the ms-project file.
Known Unknowns: The known unknowns are the factors of risk that might result in development of the issues in core functionalities of the project. The list of known unknowns consists of risk factors and sudden issues in project.
