Project scenario - Get fit with football!

(Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional)

Introduction

A Local Government Authority (LGA) has decided to organize a six-a-side football tournament. The tournament will contribute towards achieving the targets set by a national initiative to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. As part of the LGA's policy of self-funding, this has to be achieved at zero cost to the LGA (and therefore the local tax payer). The cost of the event will be covered through fees paid by teams registered to take part in the tournament, sponsorship and monies raised during the day. Any surplus would be used for the maintenance of local sports centres.

Teams can register under one of several age groups for both boys and girls. In addition, family members are asked to attend to provide support.

This sports event is designed to be a family day out. The football tournament will have an event village including a kidz'-zone, catering, car parking, mobile changing rooms and toilets. The tournament will take place on the LGA-owned football pitches near the centre of the town, although space is somewhat limited.

Scope

The initial scope of the project includes:

The project has been set up with four work streams to deliver this work:

1. Marketing

2. Website

3. Event Village

4. Staff Training

Project Background

The LGA have extensive experience in using PRINCE2 and will run the event as a single project. The project manager is fully conversant with PRINCE2 Agile. One office in the LGA building in the centre of town has been given to the project for the entire duration. The office is across the corridor from the Marketing Department and the project manager has already put a sign on the door that says 'Mission Control'.

Timeline

An initial timeline has been suggested and is shown in the following diagram. The timeline may evolve due to the agile ways of working. The timeline shows how work streams are broken down into work packages and/or timeboxes.

Website - Additional information

A new website will be built for the event. There are five work packages within this product:

1. Initial homepage:

2. Team Registration functionality:

3. Social media promoting the event and its aims.

4. Applications (apps) to promote healthy lifestyles including fitness and healthy eating apps.

5. Health Park:

The Website Team have a lot of experience in IT and have been using agile for several years. They are delivering the website through five two-week timeboxes. The team uses a Scrum Master to facilitate and the Scrum process and coach people accordingly.

The Website Team are very good at Scrum. They have created a set of tasks to assess more difficult work and they refer to this as sprint zero.

Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:

There are several work packages being delivered during Stage 4. The Website Team Scrum Master is concerned that project-level issues may be overlooked and this might impact the Website Team during the current timebox.

Which agile way of working can be used as part of the 'controlling a stage' process to ensure that these issues are identified?

Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:

The following assessment was made initially during the 'starting up a project' process:

'The Website Team is already using Scrum and it is expected that this team will be familiar with agile techniques. However, the Staff Training Team is less familiar with the agile ways of working.'

Training on agile techniques was given to the Staff Training Team as a result of this assessment.

As part of the 'closing a project" process, the following observation was made:

'The Staff Training Team gained more understanding of what to fix and what to flex as the project moved into Stage 3.'

Why should this observation appear in the end project report?

Marketing - Additional information

The marketing campaign has two key areas to promote:

1. The event itself including the football tournament, event village and fundraising activities.

2. The LGA's long term aim to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16.

The Marketing Team has received some initial Scrum training but is unsure how it can be applied to their marketing work.

The Marketing Team is keen that the project manager provides them with a clear brief for the campaign before they spend too much time on it.

They have experience of working with a variety of marketing channels, although they are not sure which channel(s) will work most effectively to promote this type of event, and in particular to promote the LGA's longer term health aims.

The Marketing Team is not clear on the priority to assign to the two aims for the event.

The Marketing Team will publish advertisements and/or promotional material every week, with more information in each issue to keep the message up to date.

Nine releases are scheduled at the end of each of the nine week-long timeboxes.

The nine timeboxes within the marketing work stream are scheduled to include:

Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question:

The Marketing Team is not sure whether all the information, photos and links needed for the website pages being set up by the Website Team can be delivered within the current timebox.

One of the team members has suggested that the team regularly visit the LGA's cafeteria to show the staff in other departments some rough drawings of the website pages to get their feedback. This can then be used to help decide which parts of each page are most important to deliver within the timebox.

Timeline

An initial timeline has been suggested and is shown in the following diagram. The timeline may evolve due to the agile ways of working. The timeline shows how work streams are broken down into work packages and/or timeboxes.

Website - Additional information

A new website will be built for the event. There are five work packages within this product:

1. Initial homepage:

2. Team Registration functionality:

3. Social media promoting the event and its aims.

4. Applications (apps) to promote healthy lifestyles including fitness and healthy eating apps.

5. Health Park:

The Website Team have a lot of experience in IT and have been using agile for several years. They are delivering the website through five two-week timeboxes. The team uses a Scrum Master to facilitate and the Scrum process and coach people accordingly.

The Website Team are very good at Scrum. They have created a set of tasks to assess more difficult work and they refer to this as sprint zero.

Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:

The Apps and Social Media work package includes the following requirements:

1. Fitness app - Must Have

2. Healthy eating app - Should Have

The burn-down chart is showing an ever-increasing negative gap between the ideal rate of progress and what has actually been delivered. The team manager decided not to deliver the healthy eating app. However, it is still forecast that requirement 1 cannot be completed within the current timebox.

The team manager escalated the issue to the project manager who instructed the team manager to immediately remove the burn-down chart from the information radiator.

What BEST explains how this approach applies the 'manage by exception' principle while taking into account the PRINCE2 Agile behaviours?
