healthy working culture where employees can use their different skills and efforts to accomplish
the aims and objective or overcome the challenges without any obstacles. In this research project,
JD sports has been considered which is known as a sport fashion retail company based in Bury,
Lancashire, England (Araten-Bergman, 2016). This firm was established in 1981 and operate its
business in retail sector. This research project consist aims, objectives, project management plan
for fulfilling the needs in effective manner. Further, will explain about research methods which
used by the company to gather information for the completion of the project. Finally, offering
effective suggestions for improving the quality of project and company execution as well as
manufacturing which is amended on investigator experience while processing the whole project
actions.
TASK 1
P1. Project aims and objectives
Aims
“To examine various strategies and initiatives to create and keep diversity at the
workplace.”
Research objectives
 To study the aspect of diverseness and inclusiveness within the company.
 To monitor the strategies of diverseness and inclusiveness use by JD sports.
 To determine the challenges which are faced by JD sports while processing diverseness
and inclusiveness at workplace.
Research questions
 What do you understand by the aspect of diverseness and inclusiveness within the
company?
 What are the plan of actions of diverseness and inclusiveness use by JD sports?

 What are the challenges which are faced by JD sports while processing diverseness and
inclusiveness at workplace?
P2. Project management plan that covers aim and deliverables, time, quality, communication,
risk and resources
Project management plan
It indicates to a plan which is a document that is used by the administration of the
company to define each and every stage of a project with the help of different components of
project management plan. This plan consist different aspect like cost, scope, quality, resources,
procedure, structure, time, communication etc. which assist a personnel to achieve the specified
report in an effective and efficient manner within a given time period (Boehm and Dwertmann,
2015). In order to this project, researcher can take an initiative in monitoring different
components which is required for obtaining better result and they are defined as beneath:
Cost- This stage is viewed as one of the essential component for conducting a specific
study as it assist in getting effective equipments or origins in an appropriate way. Apart from it,
cost indicates to those aspects which obtain at the time of process of manoeuvre of the particular
project in effective manner. In case of this research, investigator makes and attempt to monitor
the market which assist them to determine the all over expenditures in effective manner. So, the
entire cost which is required to complete this report is £450.
Scope- This factor is affiliate with those conceptions in which raise the whole
performance of specific project in an amended manner. However, as the market competition and
growth options are maximising at rapid pace, it increases the scope of investigation in gathering
effective information or thoughts and techniques for finishing the task in an revised manner. In
this research project, it incorporates large scope which empower investigator to make use of
different growth options and opportunities in a productive manner without any conflict and
problem.
Time- It is involve with those component which indicates the time limit to attaining the
specific project or task in an effective manner. In addition to it, with the assistance of this tool,
researcher is capable to enforce favourable result over selected people that improve its quality
and execution (Erickson and et. al., 2014). In affiliation of this investigation, the individual
monitors the current business environments and task which assist them to analysis towards

manoeuvre time of this study. So, the researcher can decide that this research takes 2 months of
time period to improve and applicable project within existing market.
Quality- This aspect consider as most effective stage because it directly affiliate with
project property and productivity between the different sectors and population. Thus, the
researcher can make an attempt to monitor the present market that lead them to collect all
relevant information in context of research topic which assist in helping other surveyor to
conduct their research study in an effective manner (Ewoh, 2013).
Communication- It is another factor which is affiliated with the performance of each
people and also to make control over different hazards like unequivocalness, confusions and
others. Moreover, in context of this research, the investigator make usage of existing resources or
communication tools that authorise them to acquire effective and correct information. With the
help of it, the individual was able to create high level of cooperation, coordination, collaboration
between group members that provide different advantages to them, in term of raising the quality
of the investigation project which outputs in processing demonstrative investigation between
scholars and publishers.
Risk- It is related with those components which are used by the investigator to
accomplish the research project in an effective manner. In context of this project, the surveyor
faces different problems in formulating project management plan so also in keeping effective
relationship between group. Therefore, the investigator take an inaugural in relegating the work
as per the possibility of each and every personnel that aid them to overcome the problems of
confusions, hazards, misunderstanding in an effective manner.
Resources- It indicates to those components which are used by the researcher for
complete the research projected in effective manner. There are different types of resource like
fund, labour, equipments, land, machinery and others. In this investigation report, the surveyor
required time, monetary value, human resources etc. to conduct the research in adequate manner.
P3. Work breakdown structure and a Gantt chart to provide time frames and stages for
completion
Gantt Chart- it refer to a horizontal visual communication which use by the researcher for
segmenting the entire project into several actions and activities that assist them to accomplish the
aims and objectives in an effective manner (Hebl and Avery, 2012). Apart form it, it is regarded
as most frequently utilised variable in project management plan as it render a visual

communication creation of a schedule that track a researcher to plan, assign and allot the task in
an effective manner. In context of this research project, the investigator can utilise Gantt Chart
which aid them to delegate the work to team member according to their skills and competencies.
With the assistance of this, the researcher was able to complete the project is a revised mode.
Work breakdown structure- It is involve with segmenting the critical and big project into
different team or small task that assist people to accomplish aims and objective in amentiferous
manner. In case of this research, investigator use this technique during the time of organising
the research that vantage them to gain better results with less productivity and confusion of
concern (Henry and et. al., 2014). In the current research, the investigator can apply WBS to
organise plans and running various actions or determining all over endeavour of group members
in research. If the investigator use this tool then it can help in making improvement in the
execution of the workers so that they can achieve the objectives of the research in set time frame.
