There are both internal and external stakeholders in a project (Nicholas & Steyn, 2017). Internal stakeholders includes;

1. The board of directors-The board of directors are the ones that runs the legal firms and have the major power in taking the decisions related to the firm. The bo0ard of directors of the mentioned firm consists of the senior lawyers who have worked there for more than a decade. The main task of the directors is to formulate the strategies of the project and make reviews on the completion of the project. They are the ones that appoints the team, the vendors and the other suppliers who are directly involved with the project.
2. Investors- Investors are the one that provide funds to the project. Their main task or the main interest is to make sure that the project faces no shortfall of capital at any point of time. The investors have the power to determine the amendments to be done to the project. They are also well informed about every changes and updates about the project.
3. Employees-The employees are the ones who execute the project for the organization. They are selected by the management according to their skills. The employees generally don’t have any power in the project but their main interest lies in the benefits they will receive after the completion of the project. The lawyers who work for the firm will receive comfort and ease once new furniture is installed in the office.

On the other hand the external stakeholders consist of;

1. Regulators- The regulators have the power to control the project as no work can be done without the prior permission of them. The regulators in this case include the authority that is in charge of the office building in which the legal firm is located. They have the power to grant permission or deny permission to the project.
2. Suppliers-The suppliers are the ones who supplies the different resources needed for the completion of the project. The furniture suppliers do not have any power and generally enters into an agreement with the organization to supply the required products tto the company.

A risk management plan is formulated to assess the risks that are involved in the project and to make sure that the organization takes adequate steps to mitigate such risks (Kerzner, 2017). The main elements of a risk management plan prepared by the researcher will include;

1. Hazard identification
2. Risk identification
3. Risk Assessment
4. Controlling the Risk
5. Documenting the Process
6. Monitoring and reviewing

For example if an organization decides to launch a new product in the market it has to make sure that the risks such as absence of peotential buyers, presence of strong competitors, copyright theft by rival company are dealt in a proper way (Leach, 2014). The management thus formulates the risk management plan to achieve success in the market.

The management of the legal firm can take some steps to make the people understand about their roles and the importance of the project;

1. Proper and effective communication
2. Conducting regular meetings involving all the stakeholders and the project execution team
3. Conduction of regular meetings with the suppliers of the furniture
4. Updating the team with the latest developments

The workers can be provided with extra manforce or they could be provided with advanced tolls and machineries to move the heavy furnitures. The project manager must keep aside some extra fund and allocate them in such cases (Martinelli & Milosevic, 2016).

  The completion of the project will help the mentioned legal firm of Australia to receive swanky new furnitures which will change the outlook of the firm. The workers who will be involved in the project will be receiving an adequate exposure to such largescale project works in an organization. The legal firm will be able to easily carry out such similar endevours in the future.

The main financial cost that needs to be recorded and checked include the cost of the resources involved, any kind of extra cost involved in the project, cost of the furtnitures and must also keep a approximate estimate of the total cost involved in the execution of the project.

Staff problems can be easily resolved by directly talking with them by assuring their privay. The staff can be only managed by keeping cool and making the employee understand the benefits of procuring the furnitures (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016).

The signature must be obtained from the project manager, Assisstant manager and the main sponsors of the project. 

The project review will consist of the project manger, the sponsors and the stakeholders of the project. The concerned team will make sure whether the project has been able to adress all the concerns regarding the office furnitures.

Some of the obstacles are;

1. Cost overrun
2. Budget shortfall
3. Lack of Proper communication
4. Over allocation of resources
