risk and resources
Project management plan refers to process proper which has proper information about
aspects which has to be considered by researcher (Beck, 2018). This is the formal and legal
document which provides appropriate information about pursuing research. Hence with this
2

document it is easy for managers to plan, execute and monitor research plan. With the help of
project management plan, planning for resources such as risk, quality, cost, scope, etc. In case of
change in working style, then alterations are required to be made in project management plans,
hence this helps to achieve aims and objectives of performing research activities in appropriate
manner (Benería, Berik and Floro, 2015). There are different aspects which are covered under
project management plan, which are discussed as under-
Cost- Cost is one of the important aspect because there is requirement of funds for
creating value of new products. There is requirement of different resources such as land,
employees, machinery, marketing campaigns, etc. Hence there are some cost which is incurred in
marketing and creating value of “New Summer Shoe” launched by H&M. In creating value and
marketing product, cost of around £5200 will be incurred. While conducting this research, some
cost is incurred for making availability of resources such as computer, internet connection,
phones facility, etc. hence in this case, there is cost of around £800.
Scope- Scope is the area under which organisation is working. As per case study of
H&M, there is expansion in working scope of organisation because they are launching new
product and wants to market and create value in London Fashion Week. Hence this helps to
increase in sales, consumer base and competition with international brands. Hence it is
responsibility of managers of H&M to analyse market properly and so actions can be taken
accordingly. While conducting this research, it is easy for researcher to enhance knowledge
about globalisation, marketing techniques to be used tat international level, different types of
research methodology, etc. Hence it is easy for individual to pursue research in near future in
effective and collect within specified time.
Time - There is requirement of some time for launching and marketing new product in
London Fashion Week. There is difference in working style at national and international level, so
there is requirement of time for proper market analysis. This can be within 1- 1.5 months of
starting marketing values for New Summer Shoe. At the same time, there is requirement of some
time for completion of this research project. This time is expected to be within 8 weeks because
there are different activities such as introduction, setting aims and objectives, data analysis, etc.
which as to be considered by researcher (Benigno and Faia, 2016).
3

Quality- Quality is also important for performing at international level and competing
with other brands. H&M is launching “New Summer Shoe” as new product, so in this case it is
responsibility of managers to maintain quality of product. This helps to market and lead in
industry which assist in competing with other brands. These days, consumers wants quality
goods and proper return of their money. Hence by considering this, it is easy for maintain good
image in front of delegates at London fashion Week. While conducting research, quality aspect
has to considered because researcher provide some data which shows authentication of presented
data. Hence quality has to be considered by researcher so authentic and relevant information can
be transferred to readers (Blaser, McRae and Feit, 2013).
Communication- Communication is the way through which information can be
transferred from one person to another. As per case study of H&M, there is requirement of
proper communication channel which helps to deliver information about features of “New
Summer Shoes”. There is requirement of proper marketing techniques such as social media,
posters, hoardings, etc. helps in creating brand image of H&M. While conducting this research,
there is requirement of proper communication, so information related to change in research
activities, sequences, etc. can be communicated. There is use of meetings, conference call, video
conferencing, etc. are considered. So research activities can be done in appropriate and relevant
manner.
Risk- Risk is also one factor which is considered in project management plan. While
globalisation of business, there is risk of change n consumer preferences, risk of more
competition., improper planning, etc. which may become reason for failure of business (Hillson,
2017J). This affects business growth and development in the form of good sales and revenues.
While conducting this research, there is risk of data missing, duplication of activities, improper
communication, etc.

Week. There is requirement of employees, expertise knowledge, legal rules and regulations, etc.
which helps to make changes according to external environment. While conducting this research,

P3 Work breakdown structure and a Gantt chart to provide time frames and stages for
completion of project

 Most of the candidates will prefer to analyse comfort and durability of shoes, so it must
be kept consider to market feature of shoes considering targeted consumers.

TASK 4
P7 Reflection regarding meeting stated objectives and own learning and performance
With conducting this research, I am able to understand about different marketing
techniques required to expand business at globalise level and compete with international brands.
I use primary data because this is more relevant for providing information about research topic. I
am able to achieve aims and objectives because of effective team and decisions are taken in time
which helps to complete research on time. But we face some issues such as lack of
communication among team mates which results in duplication of activities. Apart from this I
feel that respondents are not willing to respond back through questionnaire, so this creates issues
in giving proper interpretation. I collect information about different marketing strategies of new
22

summer shoes from respondents through questionnaire which assist me to give correct and
relevant conclusion and recommendations. I am able to understand role of marketing for
launching new summer shoes in London fashion week, so different ways of marketing are
learned from this research. I am able to enhance my communication and investigation skills with
collecting relevant and authentic information about topic. So aims and objectives of this study
are achieved within specified time.
With conducting this research, aims and objectives i.e. for launching Summer Shoe at
London Fashion Show is achieved. There is proper co- ordination among team members which
assist in getting completing research successfully within specified time. I play role of team leader
while conducting this research, so I need to communicate with different team mates and analyse
success rate of project. This also This research helps me to conduct to improve my leadership
and communication skills. This also assist me in developing ability to work in group. If in future
