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:
a marketing campaign to promote the event;
a celebrity to open the event;
a website to provide information about the event and handle applications; an event village to support the 'family day out'; the training of LGA staff as volunteers to run and support the event; back-office processes to handle the applications; fundraising to cover the cost of the event.
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. It applies the target well because visualization is the most effective way to communicate change.
• B. the event is carried out safely and professionally;
• C. It applies the target poorly because the customer subject matter expert should represent the impacted stakeholders.
• D. It applies the target poorly because the training acceptance criteria should be specified in the project product description.
• E. 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 Staff Training Team had been working to the following assumption:
  'All volunteers will be trained in all training materials.'
  Quite late in the project, it has been identified that this assumption is incorrect. As a result, the team manager produced a chart of who needs to be trained in what modules. This was agreed with a customer representative and the team manager made the necessary amendments to the requirements in the backlog within the current timebox.
  What BEST explains why the team manager's approach complies with the 'embrace change' target?
• F. It applies the target well because the training will be delivered in the most accurate way.

  Using the Project Scenario and Staff Training Additional information, answer the following question:
  The safety and professionalism course content timebox includes three high-level requirements.
  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?
• C. It is a poor approach because releases need to be put into operational use to receive any feedback.
• D. It is a poor approach because visiting the site of the Event Village is NOT classed as a sub-product.
• E. It is a good approach because a design should be an interim stage of the Event Village work package.
• F. It is a good approach because a physical representation will deliver something of use to the project.

Website - Additional information
A new website will be built for the event. There are five work packages within this product:
1. Initial homepage:
Website showing the event details, competition rules, etc.
2. Team Registration functionality:
team name, player's names and ages;
contact information;
payment;
lunch pack requirements (includes any special dietary needs);
car parking requirements.
3. Social media promoting the event and its aims.
4. Applications (apps) to promote healthy lifestyles including fitness and healthy eating apps.
5. Health Park:
An online knowledge base about healthy lifestyles that includes a discussion forum.
The Website Team have a lot of experience in IT and have been using agile for several years. They are delivering the website through five two-week timeboxes. The team uses a Scrum Master to facilitate and the Scrum process and coach people accordingly.
The Website Team are very good at Scrum. They have created a set of tasks to assess more difficult work and they refer to this as sprint zero.
Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:
During the 'initiating a project' process, the project manager has decided to use the Cynefin framework to assess the project.
As a result, the following observation was made as part of the assessment:
'There is a relationship between the social media websites promoting active lifestyles and participation in sport. This in turn leads to an increase in the health and fitness of the people.
It will not be possible to measure the effect of the social media websites until after the project. The results of early communications on the websites should be reviewed in order to identify what effect it may be having, and why. This will then feed into further longer term initiatives at the LGA.' How should this relationship be assessed according to the Cynefin framework?

• A. Complex.
• B. Disorder
• C. Chaotic
• D. Obvious.

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:
advertisements:
a radio interview;
production of a hand-out/flyer;
banners and signs to put up around the town and at the event;
the provision of a website and social media content;
promotional posters to be displayed by local businesses.
Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question:
When contributing to the development of the communication management approach, the Marketing Team felt that the only applicable agile technique to be included in the approach was the use of daily stand-ups.
Which reason BEST explains whether this is a suitable entry for 'tools and techniques' in the communication management approach?

• A. It is suitable because the marketing products are already rich in communication.
• B. It is unsuitable because the other teams will need a means to be updated on progress and feedback.
• C. It is unsuitable because the daily stand-up is NOT a communication tool or technique.
• D. It is suitable because the marketing products do NOT suit the use of other agile techniques.
