It is a most effective plan that are used by the researchers in order to gather appropriate
and detailed information as it facilitates blueprint that includes several aspects. These elements
are required to lead an individual in order to achieve tasks within a time duration (Boehm, 2015).
It also includes several strategies that helps in enhancing the quality as well as reliability of
project in an appropriate manner. In the context of this project investigators use different tactical
components for performing the tasks in a better way. These aspects are as follows: Cost: For the purpose of implementing a plan, funds are considered as crucial aspect
which assist personnel to accomplish aims and purpose of project. This is refers to that
factor that incur while tasks is in processing as it includes several cost like operational,
research & developmental, production, raw material, labour, advertisement etc.
researcher estimate their expenses towards the study of market trends as well as
customers needs that is approx £300. Quality: This defined as a internal stage as researcher empower to complete research
activity of project in positive manner for resulting favourable end results form the
respondents (Bryson, 2018). In this research report investigator makes some kind of
initiatives by adopting as well as using actual informations as the Costa Coffee can
enhance their productivity and profitability. Time: This is related to the task completion period in order to accomplish organisational
objectives without any kind of failure. Researcher require 2 months for completing the
data collection and research procedure effectively within a specified time period. This
will helps in collecting precise informations that are appropriate for achieving the
objectives and aim of research.

 Resources: There are several resources like financial, technological, physical as well as
others that are needed to be considered while conducting research activity. Risk: It is one of the most important factor that underlies by all researchers while they
work for achieving a particular job role. Investigators face many problem while thy
develop project management plan as well as collecting informations by using many
sources (Erickson, 2014). Scope: As the market is very dynamic that have wide range of opportunities and chances
within the marketplace. The primary scope of this research is to examine the strategic

respondents in a clear manner. Investigator need to develop a better collaboration as well
as coordination among the team members that empower them to control all conflicts as
well as confusion.
P3 Facilitates WBS and Gantt chart.
Work break down structure: This is defines as a tool through which a researcher
decomposites whole and complex project into several smaller sections in order to get effective
results in increasingly manner (Ewoh, 2013). In addition, WBS assists in getting high rate of
potentiality and efficiency of group persons this will leads high range of employees contribution
towards the achievement of organisational objectives effectively as well as efficiently. With the
help researchers can easily acquire relevant and desire project activities along with decrease in
issues and obstacles.

Gantt chart: This is refers to the most effective tool as it shows all activities of business
operations in distinguish manner as this model is introduced in 1917 by Henry L. Gantt. It shows
in a graphical presentation of proper schedule of project activities that make sure researcher to
design, coordinate as well as complete projects activities within a specified period of time.
Although, investigators used this tool with a aim to divide all tasks into several sections in order
