Task:

You work as a Project Manager (PM) at Events Berlin GmbH.

The Tourism Board of Sicily wants to promote their region through a Food Pop Up Event in Berlin in June 2020 and they have asked Events Berlin GmbH to take care of it. The aim is to promote the region as a gastronomic destination. Therefore, they want to promote the typical products of the region and provide tourism information about the area.

There is a budget of 75.000 €, and you have a team of six to organize it. Apply the Project Management practises and frameworks learned in this module to organise the event.

You must prepare a proposal that conforms with the budget, the number & skills of the staff and the actual date. Explain the background of the project, your research, your proposal and the steps to follow.

The five phases of Project Management

There are five designated phases of project management. These phases provide a roadmap to accomplishing the targeted goals of each project. The phases include:

1. Conception and Initiation: The first phase is where the high-level project goals and definition are developed. At this phase, feasibility is determined through discussion and feasibility testing. Once the project is accepted by stakeholders, a project charter or a project initiation document (PID) is created, outlining the purposes and requirements of the project.

2. Definition and Planning: At this phase, a roadmap is created to help guide teams towards specific targets throughout the project. The scope of the project is defined, and a comprehensive project plan is developed. The plan identifies variables like cost, quality, available resources, and a realistic timeline. The project plan also establishes performance measures, which are generated using the scope, schedule, and cost of the project. Roles and responsibilities for team members are divvied out accordingly, distributing accountability across the project.

3. Launch or Execution: The project execution phase is when deliverables are developed and completed. There are many moving parts during this phase, like team development, resource assignment, system tracking, project scheduling, and plan modifying. This phase is where the "meat" of the project is completed, and consistent status reports and performance updates keep all goals in check.

4. Performance and Control: This phase is geared towards measuring project progression and performance to ensure that all tasks align with the original project plan. Key performance indicators (KPIs) help to determine if the project is on track based on components like project objectives, quality deliverables, effort and cost tracking, and project performance.

5. Project Close: This phase signals the completion of a project. Project managers are tasked with terminating contractors, recognizing valuable team members, and evaluating a project to identify strengths and weaknesses. After the project is completed, PMs must still create a punch list of unaccomplished tasks and perform a final budget analysis that will go into the final project report. All documents must be gathered and stored for future reference.
