W2_Agbato Busayo_Blog Recovery Plan

Problem Recognition
“A Blog (contraption of the term “web log” is defined as “a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentaries, description of events, or other material such as graphics or video. These entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order”2, is one of the deliverables toward preparation for enhancing success in AACE exams related problems. I am grossly behind schedule in this deliverable hence the need to recover, so as to ensure the fulfillment of the blog deliverables and success in the exams.

Feasible Alternatives
Alternative 1: To commence writing one blog a week
Alternative 2: To write two blogs a week until I catch up with the schedule
Alternative 3: Write at once all outstanding seven blogs
Alternative 4: Note write blog and quit the programme

Development of outcomes and cost implication
Alternative 1: means that I will not be able to record 100% in blog posting, which will affect my personal score and that of the team. Hence loss of hour and money estimated for the deliverable.

Alternative 2: implies that by week 14, I will be able to catch up with the schedule, have time for other deliverables and be able to write quality blog. The work and cost estimated will be recovered thus achieving 100% in blog.

Alternative 3: is very difficult, if not out rightly impossible, it may result in low quality blog posting and does not guarantee quality blog postings in future. Though 100% is achieved by the quality of work will be low.

Alternative 4: though this will relieve the seeming pressure, but will not justify the objectives of sponsor guarantee personal success in Cost engineering. The loss here is total.

Selection Criteria
1) Achieve 100% in blog posting
2) Guarantee quality blog posting
3) Ensure the objective of sponsor is achieved
4) Guarantee cost engineering skill of candidate

Analysis and Comparison of the Alternative
Alternatives 1, 3, and 4 do not meet all the selection criteria.
Alternative 2 satisfy relatively all the selection criteria

Selection of Preferred Alternative
My preferred alternative is alternative 2, this give room for quality blogging and ensures recovery before end of project

Post Evaluation
The initial problem of blogging has been overcome hence ease of blogging. Discipline to write two blogs each week until recovery is achieved to be ensured.
