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.

Staff Training - Additional information

The event will be supervised primarily by LGA staff volunteers. They will need to be trained in various skills so that:

A . the event is carried out safely and professionally;

B . staff members are able to give advice on health and fitness.

This is covered by four work packages:

1. Training syllabus:

* High-level design of the manual.

* Content of each module.

2. Course content for safety and professionalism:

* Detailed design of two modules:

* Health and Safety including basic first aid.

* Customer relations to look after people attending the event.

* Piloting the modules with a group of volunteers.

3. Course content tor giving advice on health and fitness:

* Detailed design of two modules:

* Exercise fundamentals including how to warm up and cool down.

* Healthy eating including what types of food are good for you.

* Piloting the modules with a group of volunteers.

4. Training delivery:

* Production of the training manual;

* Delivery of the training to the rest of the volunteers.

The Staff Training Team is staffed by in-house training staff members that have been involved in several waterfall projects but have not had any exposure to agile.

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

The Stall Training Team has developed the following user story:

'As the LGA, I want all volunteers to have received mandatory health and safety training so that we can ensure that the event takes place in a safe environment for the public.'

There is a high probability that a suitable trainer may not be available to deliver this mandatory training before the football tournament.

How should this risk be managed by the Staff Training Team in accordance with the five targets?

* As the LGA. I want all volunteers to have received mandatory health and safety training so that we can ensure that the event takes place in a safe environment for the public.' - Must Have

A suitably qualified trainer has been scheduled to deliver a course covering both requirements. Unfortunately, there is no-one available from the LGA to quality check the course materials for the healthy eating training until three days after the date scheduled for training delivery.

How should the team respond to this situation?

During timebox planning, it was identified that it will not be possible to deliver everything relating to all three of these requirements during the timebox.

What is the effect of setting the time tolerance to zero for the timebox?

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:

There is limited space in the Event Village to accommodate all of the equipment, e.g. the trampolines, 'kidz-zone', food tent, car park and changing rooms.

It is difficult to assess whether there is sufficient space from the design drawings. One of the team has suggested physically drawing out the actual space occupied by each facility at the site.

Which statement BEST describes whether this approach is a good application of the frequent releases focus area?

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

The Event Village Team is holding a workshop to decide how to meet the varied and often conflicting requirements for culturally diverse, healthy and quick food because several days have already been spent trying to establish the way forward. The workshop involves only the Event Village Team without the use of an independent facilitator.

Which reason BEST explains why this workshop is a good application of the 'rich communication' focus area?
