INTRODUCTION
Equality is an aspect that is related with treatment of employees with a sense of equal

Project management plan
Project management plan regarded as the document that can be applied for defining of the
different phases that are part of a project, it consist of components such as planning, initiation,
monitoring etc it helps in having a structure so that various aspects such as cost, time,,
communication and scope can be understand the project management plan for Tesco is discussed
below:
 Scope: It is related with the overall scope of project in relation with the diverse and equal
environment (Sang, and Powell, ., 2013). It is also helpful for objective of increasing the
viability of a particular project. This report will be helping in solving conflicts arising in
course of organisational functioning.
 Organisational structure: organisation has to adopt functional structure is that their
overall function can be distinguished with more clarity (Vickers, 2017). In Tesco this
type of structure is used in the organisation.
 Resources: there are a variety of resources that required for purpose of carrying on a
project. In present research report there can be applied such as financial resources, human
resource etc. That will be required for proper completing the of research work and
accomplishment of laid outcomes.
 Costs: There are three types of cost control techniques that are used by researcher in this
report and it includes Budgeting (Wrench2016). Cash flow statement & the cost
breakdown structure that is used for controlling of cost by the researcher and optimum
utilisation of financial resources.
Estimated cost structure for the present report is discussed below:
Particulars Total funds needed to perform the activity

Promotional expenses $7000
Miscellaneous expenditure $3000
Technical cost $ 10000
Total cost $ 20000
 Communication matrix: It is also one of the most essential aspect that is sued for the
purpose of integration of all the activities that are part of a research report. It is very
helpful in keeping all the team mates of a particular research report in having updating
about the various stages and progress achieved at each stage in the research report.
 Risks: There is possibility of presence of risk in every research report and in case of
present research also there is risk such as limited availability of resources, shortage of
time etc. are some of the very common resources that can impact the researcher and
overall project.
 Quality: Quality of a research report ahs to be maintained so that all the reliable
information can be collected and used for completion of eh report. There are some of the
control technique like Control chart that is a graph for the purpose of understanding the
process change with time. It helps research in identification of overall change taking
paled in the project in a better manner.
 Time : For completion of the research report there is a time period of 7 weeks that has to
be used by the research in present report.

TIME LINE For this project has been created as discussed below:
Work breakdown structure & a Gantt Chart
WBS can be regarded as a systematic approach that can be used by organisations so that
various deliverables can help in dividing the work to be more manageable task. The work has to
be done in such a has to be arranged in a hierarchy. It will help in defining the whole project into
smaller chunks in more manageable work. In the present research report there is below
mentioned chart that is side for dividing the task according to their requirement.

Gantt chart is a regarded as a chart that consist of list of various activities that are listed
according to the point in time phase that is assigned for purpose of achievement of the whole
project. There are basically two axis that is part of Gantt chart (Araten-Bergman, 2016). The
vertical axis consists of list of various activities and functions that have to be performed and the
horizontal axis consist of the time required and assigned by the researcher to different types of
activities and tasks. It will help in reduction of confusion for all the teammates that are involved
in the research work.
PERT CHART: Pert chart is basically used as a project management tool that is used for purpose
of graphical representation of the timeline of project. It helps in breaking down of individual
work of a project and further analysing it.
CRITICAL PATH: Critical path is basically used for determination of the time required for
conducting of various functions that are part of overall research plan for a organisation.
NETWORK DIAGRAM: network diagram is a visual representation related to the network
architecture related with the structure of a network that is represent the different symbols
and different line connections.
