Assumptions
In accordance with the assumptions, it can be stated that the event will be benefited for
raising fund. The determined goals that are to raise £2018 will be attained. As a project manager,
I will be able to develop my skills related with planning, time management, decision making,
problem solving, etc. I will be able to determine the total people who are required to make sure
that project is completed. However, the planning made is not appropriate, then it can negative
affected the event and it may not be completed with the scheduled time.

roles, responsibilities and goals. In this context, the focus of the event is to fund raise and the
fund will be used for the people who are need of help (Teller, 1997). As a project charter, it is the

development of event. In this context, the resources that will be required are human resources.
There are different type of activities that are planned and these need to determine workers who
will be skilled enough to complete the activities in appropriate manner. To conduct the activities,
there are certain set of skills required (Marie, Beuzelin and Nicole, 2017). These can be attained
when proper monitoring is done and effective steps are considered so that skilled workers are
identified. Further, proper steps have to be taken so that finance is made available to complete
the activities. With this respect, there are sponsors who will be helpful enough to cover the cost
that will be incurred. More specifically, it will consists of people who will sell cakes and t-shirts.
Apart from this, there are costs included in selecting appropriate venue where the event can be
organized. Further, it requires to convey information about the event so that more and more
people can visit the event. This way, when all these aspects are considered, then the goals set will
be attained.
