Section 1. Scope Management Plan
1.1 Project Description
A project description is a formal written document which give details about the project
and specifies goals and objectives that are to be achieved with its completion. The
Bloomsbury event will help in giving details to the new students about all the facilities
which are available in college along with increasing their connection so that integrated
learning can be achieved. Following are the objectives which are to achieved through this
project:
 To enhance learning of students by 20% in next 2 months.
 To integrate integration of new students in college by 15% in 1 month.
To increase new admissions in college by 10% for next year
1.2 Project Scope
Project scope is related with project planning and help in determining the specific
project goals, deliverables, features, functions, time, costs, deadlines etc. so that the
project objectives can be achieved. It also help in evaluating the amount of work which
needs to be done so that project objectives can be achieved thereby fulfilling stakeholder
requirements. The project scope must be determined for event at Bloomsbury so that
clear objectives can be set, deliverables required can be identified, risks can be assessed,
resources can be accumulated etc. so that the project can be completed on time and in an
efficient manner (Mangla and et. al., 2019).
1.3 Assumptions
These are the events which are expected to occur during the project life cycle so that
activities can be carried out as per plan and being optimistic about the desired events to
occur so that project can be completed on time (Manssen, Greene and Hoirup, 2018).
Following are the project assumptions related to event at Bloomsbury:
 The students can be encouraged to participate in the event so that a welcoming event can
be organised for new students.
 The project will help in motivating students so that they can become an integral part of
college which will help in enhancing their learning process.
The weather during the project will be clear and the event will be organised at the venue
decided so that the arrangements will not fail.

1.4 Constraints
These are the restrictions or limitations which create barrier in completion of
project on time using the resources which are available during the project. It is important
that the project constraints are identified on item so that appropriate steps can be taken in
order to deal with these constraints so that project can continue to proceed towards the
direction of success. The usual constraints that are faced during project completion are
time constraint, cost constraint and scope constraint which must be predetermined which
will help in project completion within budget and time. In the project at Bloomsbury
these constraints can be lack of sufficient funds, times or resources which must be
analysed by the project manager so that project can be successfully completed (Pheng
and Meng, 2018).
1.5 Project Roles and Responsibilities
It is the duty of project manager to initiate, plan, design, monitor and control all
the activities of project by delegating the roles and responsibilities among all the team
members so that project goals are achieved. Well defined roles which are given to team
members determine the success of any project so that project gets completed within set
deadline and budget.
1.6 Project Work-breakdown Structure (WBS)
This is a tool which can be used in project management so that the complete large and complex
project can be divided into smaller components which can be achieved in time. Breaking of
project in smaller sections help in making the project look easier and also each component can be
efficiently completed. In order to organise a welcome event for new students it is important that
the complete project is divided into following activities:
 Arranging for investors- 1 week
 Planning for venue – 1 week
 Allocation of budget -1 week
 Assigning roles and responsibilities – 1 week
 Hiring by HRM – 2 weeks
 Coordination of staff members – 1 week
 Food and beverages outline – 1 week
 Preparing guest list – 1 week
 Seating arrangement – 1 week
 Safety measures – 2 weeks
Post completion activities – 1 week.
