Background to the project
The project management plan on which the whole project will focus on is related to a
building of a school in West region of Adelaide. This school would attempt for the age group
from 0 to 12 years of age (CFC) kids. The motivation behind school is to give them essential
training as youngster's schooling implies training and development of children, upgrading their
insight, presenting them to a few thoughts just as acquainting them with climate around them
(Adesoji, Fabiyi and Famakinwa, 2020).
As there are a few phases of training, for example, Pre-Primary stage which is known as the
establishment of child's abilities, conduct and information. It gives the improvement of
youngsters at the essential level so they are prepared for future inside higher classes. As opening
a school and giving trainings intends to build up the entire social standards, changes life of
children through helping them in much effective and in efficient way (Yuliasari, 2020).

Stakeholders
Government, parents of children, teachers, and so on are said to be some of the crucial
stakeholders of who are directly connected with the project (Awung and Marchant, 2020).

Project plan
The project plan was implemented in efficient manner. It takes approximately one year to
complete this project. In order to complete it on time the progress of project is evaluated on
continuous basis. For the purpose the project several reports are maintained and prepared during
the project. A goal attainment report is prepared to evaluate on timely basis.
It was responsibility to conduct behavioural survey to ascertain the risk related to behaviour
of individual. For the same purpose an interview is also conducted with key participants of the
report. There are several strategies which are used in this project that are Policy change or social
planning, Social action organising, Coalitions and many more (Bonilla-Santiago, 2020). Policy
change impact the project plan because in project resources are required. Social planning is must
for local community to focus on some welfare of society.
Consulted with individuals during this process
As leader of the project, people in the staff were the important participants of the project and
they are considered during the process of this project.
Community group
The communities were engaged in the implementation of this report in various stages in
which first stage is to provide basic services to the community. The second stage to engage
community is through consultation with them.
The third stage is to empower them which helps them to gain self-esteem and confidence.
The fourth stage for community engagement is to involve them in decision making and the final
stage is take control and management of the project (Ochieng, Onyango and Kinaro, 2020). All
stages are important to full fill requirement and wants of customers and community. Project have
main motive to focus on the community welfare and their other benefits.
Feedback from the stakeholders
The feedback of stakeholders is taken from taking interviews of them which helps to get
better feedback of the project and the answers are recorded in the written format to have record
for the same. Taking feedbacks from the stakeholder is important to improve the performance on
regular basis. Stakeholder can provide better suggestions on the basis of project plan and its
measurement.

Summary of the feedback
The guidelines are properly followed in order to complete the project in efficient manner.
The pandemic faced by whole world provides for various guidelines to be followed in the school
for safety of children in the school. Parents also demand some safety regarding safety from
Corona Virus of their children as small kids are involved in the project. This will helps to
project in controlling the things and manage all things for better achievement.
The outcomes achieved
The project is completed with full efficiency in given time frame. It is seen that the project is
ready in the budget which is allocated to it (Hambira, 2020). Through better management the
results will be attain in better manner.
Project's aims
The aims or goals and objectives are achieved in almost full extent.
Effectiveness of strategies
The strategies which are implemented in the project are effective enough to achieve goal of
the organisation in effective manner which is proved by the successful completion of project on
timely manner. During Covid there are various issues are occur in project plan to avoid those
effective strategies are important such as taking some medical facilities to avoid this health issue.
Future action
The issue arise during the implementation is the issue of funds in the organisation. It was
learned in the project that government helps in this type of community project and government
can be taken into consideration for such community projects (Jurilj, 2020). Future action will be
depend on the measurement results. As per measuring the project planning and its output actions
are taking for further.
Areas of strength
With the help of goal attainment report and behavioural surveys, which can be considered as
the two crucial strength areas, this whole project plan could effectively become able to achieve
all the desired outcomes in specified time frame.
Allocation of funds was also said to be a crucial strength for this particular investigation
because, it can be said that without allocating the funds in rightful manner, no project manager

could effectively attain the benefits. Away with this, there are some of the surveys as well, which
were considered as crucial strength that has helped researcher in implementing the project in
rightful manner (Islam, 2020). Project owner can adopt some techniques and take help from the
government for borrowing funds.
Recommendations for change
In present context, there are a range of modifications that could effectively take place within
the project if researcher gets the chance to perform it in near future (Mathews, 2020). Like the
primal recommendation for a change that can help researcher to finish the task in much more
effective ways, then it is basically the use of questionnaire. This would be much more fruitful for
the researcher as it is easy to collect the information in right time (Johnson, Rice and Chuckry,
2020). They can adopt some technology and digital platforms so that they can implement their
project plans on the digital platforms.
Practice that require support.
My part in this particular investigative project is that, this research is conduct and include
several methods, techniques and tools in order to manage this research and tackle this
investigation effectively. In this research I found myself steering around to discovery the
amended way or method to formulating things. In this investigation I had learned several things
and studies that were available in this report. This investigation also involves different structure
and framework in order to complete this research with more efficiently and in a very effective
manner. In this investigation I had analyse and learned several acquirement and acquisition
because of developing the research in a very appropriate manner.
In this report I had faced several kind of problems such as collecting some sources and
information in order to complete this research and to accomplish the goals and objectives of this
investigation. This research undertakes various different methods and concepts which are much
useful for the investigation to assemblage effective and useful information and used them in a
very appropriate manner. This report also used Gantt chart and WBS which are much effective
equipment or tool and help me to conduct a research in a very proper way.
This report or investigation give me so much to learned about and to manage and collect
proper information like interview so many concept and method also. I have also analysed and
learned the procedure of investigation report in order to undertake the investigation activity and

task because to improve and developing this investigation paper and also accomplish the goals
and targets of this research.
