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.
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.

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?
Creating a physical representation of the space occupied by each facility allows the team to visualize and assess the spatial arrangement more effectively. This tangible output is beneficial for the project, providing a clear understanding of how the various components fit together within the limited space, which aligns with the principle of delivering usable outcomes frequently.

Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
It has been agreed that supervised access to the vendor stalls will only be allowed between 16:00 and 20:00 on the day before the event to allow set-up.
Which is the BEST means of communicating these arrangements to all of the vendors?
Emailing all vendors provides a clear, documented way to communicate the specific arrangements, and requesting confirmation of receipt ensures that each vendor acknowledges the information. This method is efficient for reaching multiple vendors simultaneously while allowing them to refer back to the details later.

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 requirement for the changing room facilities in the Event Village has been defined as a technical story as follows:
'Changing room facilities should have water pressure between 1.5 - 3 bar and must have a water pressure of at least between 0.1 - 0.5 bar.'
Has this requirement been recorded correctly?
Non-functional requirements, such as performance criteria (in this case, water pressure), should typically be included as part of the user stories to ensure they are considered in the context of the overall functionality and user experience. This integration helps maintain a holistic view of what the system should deliver, ensuring that both functional and non-functional aspects are addressed together.

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 is concerned that if local schools hold their annual fundraiser on the same day as the football tournament, this may cause attendance to be adversely affected.
The team manager has asked the business analyst to investigate this risk further and report back to the team at the next daily stand-up.
Which BEST explains how this approach manages risk?
The daily stand-up is an opportunity for the team to discuss ongoing issues, including risks. By having the business analyst investigate the potential conflict with the local schools' fundraiser and report back, the team can address this risk proactively and make informed decisions on how to mitigate it, thus managing risk effectively.
