P2 PRODUCING A PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN INCORPORATING: COSTS, SCOPE, TIME,
QUALITY, COMMUNICATION, RISK AND RESOURCES.
M1 PRODUCING A COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN, MILESTONE SCHEDULE AND PROJECT
SCHEDULE FOR MONITORING AND COMPLETING THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT.
The research projects need a proper project planning process which is done
with a decisive and effective project management plan. Different factors are
involved with a project management planning process and certain matters
are flexible due to the taken relevant considerations (Demeulemeester,
2013). The research project of Umbro also has some influential factors that
can determine the project success and these are discussed in the project
management plan in the following:
Costs: The costs of this research project are the required financial and other
resources to devise an effective research (Gaspareniene, 2014). The
calculation of the costs is very necessary for this kind of research project in
the project management plan for having a smooth running operation of the
whole project. It has been calculated and delivered to the designated
authority that the cost estimation of this research project is £2000 which
must be sanctioned for initiating the project.
Scope and Limitation: The influential areas are discussed in the scopes of
a research project. In contrast the negative impact factors of the research
that can have bad influence over the results of the research are called the
limitations of a research project (Demeulemeester, 2013).
Page 6 of 39

The main scope of this research is to have a broad idea of evaluating the
necessity of initiatives and strategies taken by the multinational companies
to develop a diverse and inclusive workforce environment. While the
limitations of this research project are limited and variable according to the
business types, different cultural aspects and regional locations of operation
etc.
Time: The time or timeline of a project is referred to the allocated time for a
project in the project planning for the completion of the overall project with
having the required outcomes. The effectiveness of the research project is
maintained by completing the project within the given timeframe
(Gaspareniene, 2014). This research project on the diverse and inclusive
workforce environment in the multinational companies like Umbro has been
allocated 10 weeks of time duration for completion including all of the
research and analysis tasks associated.
Research Quality: The standard quality of the research is to be maintained
for having reliability and successful interpretation of purpose of the projects.
The quality of this research project is maintained by the inclusion of the
proper evidences required, the analytical method of analyzing processes and
executing the research with standards provided by the authority and the
company.
Communication: Communication aspect is considered to be very important
in a research project as the researching and other operation needs the
assembling of people and various tasks and the outcomes gained from them
with different concentrations of views and opinions (Saunders, 2012). In this
research project clear communication strategies are taken amongst the
research team members for elaborating different research needs and
performing elaborately. The members of the team also utilized the various
mediums of communication such as phones, social media, and internet for
Page 7 of 39

connecting different parties like the respondents of the research into one
platform.
Risk: Even the well organized and thought planned research and execution
may face some risks associated which are basically the uncertainties within
the research and that may impact on the outcomes of the research projects
(Demeulemeester, 2013). Proper risk handlings are necessary for these
projects to have an unbiased and effective result. This research project plan
also has some risks involved which are the lack of financial sources, limited
timeframe for collecting information, miscommunication within parties
involved, the emotional response of the research respondents etc.
Resources: Resources are referred to the tangible things which are utilized
to observe a specific purpose. The needs of the resources of the research are
discussed in the cost section. The resources that are necessary for this
research project are given in below with their relevant costs needed:

Work Breakdown Structure
Work breakdown structure (WBS) is a project management tool which is
utilized by the project management authority for identifying the milestones
of the projects in a clear manner and understanding needed tasks for
achieving the milestones with various considerations such as time
management for each tasks (Saunders, 2012). The work breakdown
structure of this research project with the required tasks to be completed
along with the time needed for each task and the project milestones is being
given in the following:
Gantt Chart

M2 EVALUATING THE ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF DIFFERENT RESEARCH METHODS APPLIED.
Page 10 of 39

Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods
Qualitative research method is the form of research where collections of data
and analysis process take the qualitative aspects which is the information
that are the perceptions, opinions, assumptions and views regarding the
situation and conclusion made from analyzing these data which are not facts
(Gaspareniene, 2014). On the other hand, the quantitative research method
refers to the data collection and analysis process by taking the mathematical
or numerical forms of data that are found in the research or projects done
previously along with other sources of statistical information (Lippe, 2016).
The quantitative research method has been taken in account for utilizing in
this research purpose where a bunch of survey questionnaires would be
provided to have the numerical numbers of opinions regards to the survey.
Justification
The ease of the quantitative method of researching and the inherent ability
of this strategy to have an in depth outlook of the situation is this research
project requires. Along with that, this form of researching also helps in
having a simpler presentation of the results which can be used for later
purposes. The effective measurements of the numerical numbers obtained
will be taken concrete forms which will be relatively effective than the
abstract forms of information gathered from qualitative research method.
Primary & Secondary Research Strategy
Primary research is known as the first done research method which utilizes
the first and fresh collection of data for the analysis and obtaining of the
results purposes. These kinds of data are naturally found in the sources
which are directly related to the theme of the research project like the
various observations, opinions, and direct reports etc (Lippe, 2016). In
contrast, Secondary research is known as the research method where the
other used data from somewhere else is utilized for the research purposes.
Page 11 of 39

This is also named as the second hand data. In this research project the
primary research strategy will be taken mainly for consideration and
conclusion.
Justification
Primary data collection is very effective in utilizing the information that are
fresh and mostly relevant to the project topic which is very much necessary
in this research project as this project need data which are current and
relevant. The project also discovers the various issues of diverse and equal
workforce environment in multinational companies which is also why the
primary research strategy is mostly accurate for using.
Population & Sampling
Research population are referred to the overall population sources that can
provide the necessary information regarding the questions of the research.
The sampling is the process by which selection of the participants are carried
who are selected from the population and will be responsible for the sharing
of information for the research project. The process of sampling is either
done with selecting in beforehand or in a random manner. The whole
population of this research project is 1678 employees of the multinational
company Umbro and the sampling number is taken from this population
which is 200 randomly selected employees for as the respondents of the
research.
Data Collection and Analysis
As this research project will be collecting data utilizing the quantitative
method from the primary sources, the method of data collection should be
focused on methods such as interviews, observations, surveys, discussions
among groups etc (Lippe, 2016).
Page 12 of 39

There is a well developed survey questionnaires which will be utilized for the
data collection purposes from the sampling population of the employees of
Umbro. For the analysis purposes, the collected data will be analyzed by the
tools like MS word, Excel and SPSS.
Ethical Consideration
Ethical considerations are very important in a research project which
provides the effective trustworthiness of the research. Also the value and
accuracy of the research along with collected data are maintained (Lippe,
2016). In this research project every kinds of ethical compliances are granted
such as the permission from the respondents for using their data, data
protection aligning with the laws and regulations of the respondents, proper
citation and reference in the research paper etc.
LO2 CONDUCTING A SMALL-SCALE RESEARCH, INFORMATION GATHERING AND
DATA COLLECTION TO GENERATE KNOWLEDGE TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT.
P4 CARRYING OUT SMALL-SCALE RESEARCH BY APPLYING QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE

Remarks:
These set of questionnaires were properly distributed within the 200 selected
respondents who are the employees from different departments of Umbro.
These questions are devised in accordance with the need of meeting the
aims and objectives of the research. The need of the equal and diverse
workplace environment is huge in any companies especially the
multinational companies where the workforces are gathered from different
backgrounds and the outcomes of these workforces in the inclusive
workforce environment are intensely magnified (Lippe, 2016). The
companies of international structure are taking this into their minds and
devising proper strategies, ideas and changing policies for better suit the
needs of an inclusive environment. The companies are gaining a lot and
having necessary competitive advantage by making sure of the equality and
diversity.

LO4 REFLECTING ON THE VALUE GAINED FROM CONDUCTING THE PROJECT AND ITS
USEFULNESS TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE.
P7 REFLECTING ON THE VALUE OF UNDERTAKING THE RESEARCH TO MEET STATED OBJECTIVES
AND OWN LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE.
This research project was devised for the purpose to explore various taken
initiatives and strategies for observing a diverse and inclusive workforce
environment according to the multinational company context. With the taken
research project on my own and reflecting the results I have known that the
overall project management plan was a very effective process and reliable
for having well structured tasks and according timeframes for completion.
The cost analysis of the project facilitated in the smooth running process of
the project by delivering all needed resources. The project management
process involved developing the tasks which can support the aims and
objectives of the whole project. By following the standard planning of the
project I was able to direct the variable factors such as gathering the data
and analyzing along with the meeting of the aims and objectives of the
project. I have gathered knowledge about the data collection tools and
techniques such as the quantitative method which helped me in the devising
the survey questionnaires and gathering the information necessary from the
respondents. Also the taken process has achieved a standard quality project
which can be utilized for future purposes as being authentic in nature. As the
validity and reliability of the project is a necessity for meeting with the aims
and objectives of the project, this research project can be valid and reliable
for later use. Different initiative and strategies to build and effective and
inclusive workforce environment in accordance with the multinational
company Umbro has several parameters which are impactful in many cases.
For this, I believe that other companies should also undertake some research
Page 36 of 39

forms for having an in depth understanding and analysis of the complex
situation.
I was also helped by my own learning and knowledge on conducting research
project. The academic knowledge along with experiences was utilized in this
project. The effective usage of the various tools and techniques are
necessary knowledge in these research projects. As a future professional I
have learned the greater importance of understanding the inclusive
workplace environment which can help me in the future. The productivity
and creativity is also in line with the nature of the diversified and equal
workforce which will be help me in maintaining and applying the learned
outcome.
The project was completed within the set time limit and allocated resources.
However, I could do better if I had relevant research project experiences in
the past. I have gained some valuable lessons and knowledge in tools and
techniques which will be effective in the future goals of projects of mine
where the reflection would be justified. I can effectively utilize the additional
knowledge and experiences gained as a project manager for this research
project.
