INTRODUCTION
Project management is basically a process that involves organisation and planning of
resources in order to move a particular task, duty or an event towards closure (Al-Hunaiyyan,
Alhajri and Al-Sharhan, 2018). The following report is based on QAHE which is a private higher
education provider established in United Kingdom. Organisation wishes to enhance space that is
available for business students and require redevelopment of London campus. The report will
cover stakeholders analysis and work breakdown structure.
PROJECT 1
PART A
Project Initiation Document (PID) and Stakeholder analysis
Project Initiation document is one of the most important aspect of project management
and defines scope of the project, management as well as overall success criteria where a team
can go back to the project. It contains some general information regarding the project such as
scope, context, collaboration and team. It is created by project manger for acquiring set
outcomes. PID for the given proposal is designed here.

Stakeholders analysis can be define as a process to individuals before initiating a project.
It consist of owners, employees, suppliers, students, alumni, sponsors and many others. They are
responsible for providing assistance for attaining goals and objectives in an effective way.
Stakeholders Why are they involve
in the project
Why they are not
interested to invest in
the project
Factors that make
them to involve in the
project
Students They are the
stakeholders who lies
in the category of
studying in the
university. They are
needed in the project
for generating space
for acoustic panel
which is very small for
current students. It is
needed by students for
better understanding of
topics as space is very
limited.
Students who area
already studying in the
university will remain
in the place for their
education. It is not
possible for them to
invest in such high
amount for
redevelopment of
classes. This is the
reason they do not
want to be a part of
project.
Development and
redesigning of space
will enable students to
gain practical
knowledge about the
topic which is difficult
to learn at less space.
Students who are link
with the project will
provide assistance for
their professional and
personal development
of career and growth.
Faculty Faculty of the
university are

project assigned by the
college to invest and

future of the students

would not face any
problems in future.
PART B
Work breakdown Structure
Work breakdown structure is mainly seen as the break down of all activities in sub parts.
The main motive of using this structure is to simplify project activities and make it easier for
project manager to execute project activities in rightful manner (Chali, Yonah and Kalegele,
2018). Usage of this structure ensures that project will be easily completed within the provided
time frame. Along with this, it also organises all activities in the rightful manner. With reference
to the present project, its respective project manager will make use of WBS in which various
activities are involved. All of them are stated as below:
Main task Sub activities
1 Start of project
Discussion
Development of idea
Submission of idea .
Further discussion with project sponsors
Approval of idea
2 Planning
Creation of Primary Scope
Selection of Project Team members
Meetings with project team members
Creation of Project Plan
5

Submission of Project Plan
Approval of project plan

better planning of team.
