Question - Case - Recreational Park Project - The public has recognized the benefits of recreation and parks as essential to their health and quality of life. A recent survey conducted in 2018 found that the construction of more recreational facilities was a top priority among residents in Lazarette Town (in the Caribbean). As such, the town council in Lazarette, with the help of other key stakeholders, has sourced and secured three (3) million dollars of grant funds from the Caribbean Wellness Community (CWC) for the development of a mini outdoor recreational park on three (3) acres of land donated by a benevolent resident of the town. The park will contain sporting facilities among other recreational facilities (e.g. walking trails, children playground, tennis court, basketball court, work out stations, benches, shower facilities, rest rooms etc.). All major key stakeholders and sponsors have unanimously agreed that that the facility should cater for residents of all ages. Additionally, a group of minority stakeholders has expressed their requirements of having an eco-friendly and climate resilient facility. The park should be completed and ready for use by the end of 2022, i.e. the project duration should not exceed two years. To ensure that the project is completed on time, within scope and on budget, the funding agency and the Lazarette Town Council require that a dedicated and knowledgeable project team is assigned to the project. CWC has expressed the need for the project deliverables to be of 'high' quality to guarantee stakeholders' satisfaction and safety. The CWC requires that 'tight' procurement processes should be followed to ensure transparency, accountability and economy. It is anticipated that most of the goods, works and services for building the park will be procured from vendors, suppliers and contractors in the town. In addition, CWC has detailed the need for both positive and negative projects risk to be properly managed throughout the project. In response to CWC implied and expressed requirements, the Lazarette Town Council has selected and appointed your team to provide project management services for the Recreational Park Project. As a proactive team, your team has decided to use 'best practices in project management to plan project activities and get approval from key project stakeholders before constructing or building the facility. Given the type and nature of the project, the intention is to use a traditional/waterfall approach to project management activities instead of the largely popular and contemporary agile methodology used in other industries. Your team understands the value of planning before doing, and the council's concerns of not losing the grant funding from CWC. In addition, your team is keen on building a good reputation in the town. With a can-do attitude and the need to increase the chances of the project's success, the project management team (your 5-member group) is determined to ensure that the team utilizes the 'best practices for planning, executing, and controlling this valuable community-based project.
