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:
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?
This observation highlights the Staff Training Team's improved understanding of agile methodologies as the project progressed, which is relevant to evaluating the effectiveness of the training provided and how well the team adapted to agile practices. Including this in the end project report emphasizes the project's contribution to developing agile capabilities within the organization.

Event Village - Additional information
The aim of the event village is to provide a range of services and activities for anyone attending the football tournament.
The event village will comprise a number of work packages:
1. Event village design
2. A 'kids-zone' which includes trampolines and swings, as well as the opportunity to try out other sporting activities
3. Stalls which will be sold to local businesses to raise funds for the event:
4. A car park for 200 cars.
5. Temporary facilities including changing rooms, toilets and shower facilities.
6. Dismantling of the event village and clean up.
The Event Village Team is assembled using staff from various LGA departments who have no experience of working with agile.
Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
A local newspaper has reported the results of a survey. The survey indicated that local residents are concerned that costs from the event may be incurred by local tax payers.
Which action would have helped to avoid this situation?
Regularly updating the public about the event's funding sources, particularly the sponsors, would have helped to alleviate concerns by clearly demonstrating that the event is being funded through external means rather than local taxpayer dollars. This transparency can build trust and reassure residents about the financial aspects of the event.
Which describes a characteristic of business as usual (BAU) work?
Routine Operations: BAU encompasses the standard activities and processes that are necessary for the daily functioning of an organization. This includes tasks that are performed regularly and consistently to maintain services, products, and overall operations.
Regular Modifications: BAU work often involves minor updates or modifications to existing products or services. These modifications are typically routine in nature, aimed at improving efficiency, fixing issues, or adapting to changes in the environment without major disruption.
Maintenance and Support: BAU includes maintenance tasks such as monitoring systems, providing customer support, and ensuring compliance with regulations. These tasks ensure that existing products and services continue to function effectively.
Predictable and Structured: Unlike projects that may have a defined start and end date, BAU work is ongoing and tends to follow established procedures. This predictability helps organizations manage their resources effectively.
Focus on Stability: The goal of BAU work is to maintain stability within the organization. While it may involve some level of change (like routine modifications), the primary focus is on ensuring that existing operations run smoothly.

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 have noted in their daily stand-up that they cannot work out the versions and review status of the information and photos which will appear on the website pages.
Which core practice might be the MOST useful to immediately help with the 'managing product delivery' process?
Using a 'ticket' board with 'swim lanes' allows the Marketing Team to visualize the different versions and review statuses of the information and photos for the website. This practice helps clarify the current state of work, promotes transparency, and facilitates better communication within the team, ultimately supporting effective management of product delivery.
