The coastal town of Portmouthampton want to build a monument to celebrate their town's success. Having learned the lessons from the Spinnaker Tower, the council will not proceed with the project unless they have a project plan that can convince them of a successful implementation.
The council have set up a competition and will award the project to the organisation or group that presents a convincing plan for completion. Unfortunately, the council do not know exactly what they want. All they know is:
-They want twin monuments - the monuments will be placed on either side of the main road into the town.
-The design of the monuments is not the key factor. The council are more concerned that the project can be completed successfully and not bring them embarrassment.
-The council has a strict budget of £10,000,000 for the project, so they are looking for justifications for costs and their control.
-If the project is chosen for implementation, the council want the monuments in place within two years of the start date.
You have been hired by a client who wants to bid for this project. They want you to create a project plan which meets the council's requirements.
Your assignment is to deliver a 3,000 word document (not including diagrams, tables, references and appendices) which sets out a project implementation plan for the competition.
Your client has identified that one of the key criteria is for the plan to be convincing, which they are interpreting as the completeness and viability of the plan, with evidence to justify the planning methods used and the proposed estimates, decisions and assumptions made.
