Each year at the end of summer, Outdoor Recreation Unlimited puts on a major sales event that includes live music, displays of discounted outdoor clothing and gear, food vendors and fun outdoor activities in order to sell their remaining retail and have a great time in the process. This year, your boss has given you the task of being the project manager for this event. The event will take place in three months and you’ll be managing a team of five interns to help plan the event.

It is your first time in a project management role and you want to prove to him that you are knowledgeable and well-equipped to take on these type of duties. He prefers to not micromanage you, but would like he and his team of executives to be aware of your plans before you start the project. To do this, he has asked that you put together a 10-15-slide PowerPoint presentation for the company’s board of directors that answers the following questions:

What are your cost estimates for the project? (You have an unlimited budget, but in past years, costs for this event have not surpassed $30,000.)
What major milestones and timeline will you adhere to?
How will you ensure quality and prepare for risks along the way?
How will you manage your team assigned to this project?
How you will report the status of the project?
How you will measure the success of the project at its close?

Q. Read the below paragraph and write your opinion of about 200 words with intext citation and references.
Project stakeholders play an important role in project management and can be classified into two different types such as internal and external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders are those who are directly involved in the project within the organization such as project manager, team members, sponsor whereas external stakeholders are those who are not within organization and indirectly affected by the outcome of the project such as government, supplier, end user. There are different ways in identifying the project stakeholders such as by reviewing the project charter that contains detailed information of the project and reviewing the enterprise environmental factors (EEF) (Project Stakeholders | How to Identify, 2021). EEF can be defined as “the influences not under the control of the organization or the project management team that affect the organization, the project, and its outcome” (Usmani, 2022). Besides, interviewing the project experts and brainstorming with parties involved in the project can also effectively help in identifying the stakeholders (Project Stakeholders | How to Identify, 2021). In my opinion, the commonly overlooked stakeholder can be internal team member that is outside the core project team but provides assistance in the development of the project, regulatory agency, auditor, etc.
In order to ensure all stakeholders are communicated; a list can be created and segmented based on groups or power of influence to the ongoing project (Hendricks, n.d.). This method can help to track each and manage the stakeholders easily such as planning the frequency of the meeting to be held and deciding the information to be delivered. If a stakeholder is being left out from the project, it will result in terrible consequences to the project as important opinion from the specific stakeholder will be missed in the planning stage and this might affect the timeline and scope of the project.

develop a project charter based on the Case Study. The
charter is the initial document that ensures everyone has a common understanding of the project and
authorizes the project to proceed. Details of the project will be developed later.
Details of the Project Charter assignment
Read “Mamma’s Bakery and Sandwich Shoppe Case Study” (Course Resources).
Determine the initial project management roles of each team member (assume a team size of 6-8) on
the IT project team for planning, designing, and installing the IT system.
Some team roles might include:
• Project Manager
• Functional or technical managers, such as telecommunications, application software designer,
database developer, Web page designer, etc.

Think about a few personal projects you have been involved with in the last year or so. A project could be anything from planning a vacation, building a patio deck, or even mowing the grass or painting a room. Reflect on the capital budgeting you had to do in order to complete these projects. What types of projects required the least detailed and the most detailed analysis?
