Introduction
In this individual project management assignment, I have been appointed a project manager in charge of organizing and
planning a project for StarHub company. StarHub company is going to have a fund raising event for a charity organization
in Singapore by organizing a half marathon race of 13.1 miles distance (about 21 km). This is to raise money for the
nursing home in Singapore and as well as to improve the health concern of their employees. Maintaining employee fitness
for the job they do is one of the important functions of an occupational health services. A healthy employee and fund
raising for nursing home will help to improve StarHub image to their customers and the employee health should be a
matter of concern from the time before an employee starts work with the organization up until the employee leaves or
retires. This event also open to public and will attract total of 2000 people to take part of this found raising event.
To prepare StarHub employees for the half marathon run on June 22, 2014, starting on April 20 th, 2014.
To raise money by collecting either $200, $300 or $500 dollars in the choice of individual participant for the nursing
home in order to help the elderly people a better living and a better care.
Range goals: All participants must complete the training within 2 months and complete the actual run within 2 hour
30 minutes.
2.2 Deliverables
It is Project management stage or final deliverable. It is to complete a process, phase or project must be delivered any
unique, verifiable results or the ability to provide services.
2.3 Milestones
Milestones are useful tools for setting schedule goals and monitoring progress, and project sponsors and senior managers
often focus on major milestones when reviewing projects.
It is clearly given in the case that the prime objective or goal of the project is raise as much money for the charity. A
success of the event will be a proudest thing for the StarHub company as the event displays the image of the StarHub and
the contribution to elderly people. So, it is very important to concentrate on the performance and design the event to
attract more people to participate in the run and donation to the charity. So, in the priority matrix, performance is given
the priority as it should be constrained. The preparation of the run should complete before the actual event starts. The
project must meet the completion date, specifications and scope of the project. The actual run is starting after two months
from April 2014. So, time is a enchaned means adding value to the project due to the unexpected situation. The last
dimension for the decision making is the cost of the project. The cost of the project should be accepted whatever it comes
as the benefits to the nursing home and the image of the company is much higher than the cost of the project. These
benefits can only be achieved by high performance and more StarHub employees take part in this event and completion
of the project on time.
Speaker – Speakers are important to motivate and energize the group of participants in a run long journey. A good
speaker will pause whilst the distraction exists and will motivate the runners and keep the atmosphere of the event more
exciting.
Venue – Venue preparation is important in the run. First, identify what the project team require in terms of the venue,
which will vary depending on the running event. The event is located outside, running routes around to find the best
safety and range of facilities (toilets or water points for runners) in your local area.
Sports Drinks – Sports drinks is important in the event. In the form of a sports drink, it can help to maintain performance
during a distance run. Gatorade sports drink is so nice that it can prevent dehydration in the run and the Vitamin water
can keeps up runners metabolism and makes them have more energy to run a lot faster.
Registration – The registration process is important because without it you could be employing or providing a service to
someone who does not meet your bespoke criteria. The registration will help to check the health of the participants and
use the information to estimate how much money they can collect for charity and how many drinks they need to provide.
Safety – Safety planning is important in the run. It is to make sure the participants are fit enough to take part in the event
and to guard their safety throughout the events by planting safety sign boards to alert them danger area.
Value – Value is important in this event, such an estimation of the total numbers of trash bags, dustbins and bag of ice in
the event in order to prevent wastage of resources. Gift them a finisher t-shirts to congrats them after their run.
Team – Team is important to know their role in the event in order to run the event smoothly and safely. Leaders need to
make sure that executive team members know what the leader expects from the team. Such as cleaner, to clean up the
mess after the event ended, keep the area clean.
The total earned value of the work completed at the time of measurement is then based on the budgeted value of all
these completed segments of work, plus an estimate to allow for active work in progress.
