Project management plan
It is a formal and authorised report which explains how a task is performed, determined
and dominated. Basically, it is brief concise about the project which contains baselines,
subsidiary administration plans and other planning reports (Chapman, 2019). In context of this
research project, the plan comprises of cost, quality, scope, risk, resource and time etc. that assist
an individual to address set objectives based on gender pay gap and strategies to resolve the
same, in an efficacious way within granted time duration. Regarding this task, investigator take
an initiative in analysing various factors which is needed for gaining effective results and it is
explained as below:
Cost- This element is a crucial factor for conducting a specific report as it assists in
acquiring required equipment and sources in appropriate way. In case of this investigation report,
researcher required cost and fund to gather information for the completion of this research so that
effective outcomes can gain by it. So the overall cost which is needed to accomplish the task is
around £500.
Quality- It consist as an effective phase because it instantly related with task productivity
and sustainability between several spheres and group (Englund and Graham, 2019). The
research to monitor the current market that makes and attempt direct them to collect all relevant
and correct information affiliated to topic which assist other investigators to organise their
4

investigation study in effective way. To adminsitrate the quality of the projection report, the
investigator can use different tools and techniques in form of different methods like qualitative
and quantitative methods of investigation. It will help in maintaining reliableness and
authenticity of the information and the quality of investigation.
Time- It refers to the duration which is required to complete a task and work in an
improved way. This required to perform the research activities and actions which are perform by
research and team members. Thus, the surveyor has determined that this project needs 6 months
of time to develop reliable and accurate project.

in empowering the work according to the potency of each person that aid them to minimise the
problems and conflict in effective way(Myers, 2019).
Resources- This factor is affiliated with different elements like land labour, machinery,
fund, human resource and others. In context of this project, investigator monitors the

distribute resources appropriately. The research required laptop, internet, equipments, finance,
human resource and other resources. The surveyor make plan in context of requirements of
human resources so that goals and aims of the research task or work can be accomplish in crucial
way.
P3 Develop a Gantt Chart and Work Breakdown structure.
To develop the project in systematic way it is required to use tools and techniques to
systematically assign the works and activities. In context of Rowlinson Knitwear by using the
5

activities for gaining competitive advantage (Fewings and Henjewele, 2019). In addition to this,
it is most often times used tool in PMP as it supply the visual communication representation of
the schedules that direct towards the plan, by delegating the responsibilities to gain desirable
outcomes. With the help of this the investigator can determine the time limit for each and every
activity so that they project can be completed on time. Also the sequence of the activities can be
determined so that they can be allocated to the team members as per their skills.
