Project management plan
Project management plan
It is define as an structure which is used to arrange the parts in chronological order as per
their importance (Asgary and Thamhain, 2012). The primary aim of preparing work management
plan is that analyse result of project, time period, members involved in project and its
measurement Project management plan for Nestle organisation is given as follows:
Title:How do multinational companies improve the recruitment, selection and training of
their employees in order to meet International requirements?
Cost: It is refer to the amount that is require for successfully complete the task in proper
way. As per the research, investigator will be required fund of approximately 100 pounds
through which conduct their research in proper manner. Along with this, in order to complete the
project it will require approximately 550 pounds to project manager.
Time:It is define as period which is required by investigator in order to achieve the target
in appropriate manner (Corrigan and McDonald, 2014). To conduct this research, researcher
require period of 3 months and to implement this research in Nestle organisation it is require
approximately 1.5 years. For this, respective company has to formulate plan, strategies and many
more so that they can accomplish the project successfully.
Scope: There are several methods that are used to carry out research includes qualitative
as well as quantitative along with primary as well as secondary origin of data collection. The
range of this research is understand from the point that it help in determination of all the essential
factors which are indulge in the operation of improving recruitment, selection as well as training
along with is dissemination to organisational personnels.
In case of project, different ways which are used to improve all the three aspects of
recruitment, selection and training is simulation method through which they will able to
determine employees capabilities and skills. On the other hand by hiring capable employees,
they will able to meet internation requirements in proper manner.
Quality:As per the research conducted, researcher collected authenticate as well as
accurate data which help them to analyse the impact of research on the organisation in
appropriate way (Cusworth and Franks, 2013). From the perspective of task quality is maintained

in different manner in different techniques. In process of recruitment, quality is ascertained
through proper analysis of existing conditions present at workplace environment while selecting
respective methods. This will enable to select the method which is best in nature and works in all
criterion.
Risk: It is the situation which is faced by project manager at the time of conducting the
research (Degeryd and Graffner, 2013). This risk will directly or indirectly will affect the result
of research that is done by the project manager. It is important for investigator to examine every
situation in proper way so that it will help them to analyse risk such as lack of information,
funds, trained members and many more through which they will able to formulate solutions in
proper manner. On the other hand from the perspective of project, the risk may be loss of
confidentiality, legal risk in terms of violation of law and so on. In addition to this, if the data
collected is not relevant and accurate it may directly or indirectly affect outcome of result.
Communication:It is one of the essential factor through which investigator will be able

Work breakdown structure as well as a Gantt chart
Work Breakdown Structure
Work Breakdown Structure is a part of project management which is used to divide
complex projects into simpler and manageable tasks. This can be defined as a process to broken
down much larger tasks into chunks of work which are manageable. These smaller segments can
be easily supervised and figured. It is a hierarchical disintegration of total work which is carried
out by project team to accomplish objectives of an enterprise. The main purpose to design WBS

is accurate assignment of responsibilities to team and also helps to estimate cost, time and risks
in a particular project this will lead to better team productivity as well as easier project
management. A Work breakdown structure is a hierarchical graphic which represents as a table,
flowchart or an outline (Goh and et.al., 2015). It is used to improve planning, develop smarter
budget, risk identification and enhanced visibility. A WBS is a helpful method used in large
scale enterprise projects and enjoy successful outcomes.
Gantt Chart
It is a crosswise bar chart stand for entire time period duration and tasks of the task. This
map furnish a visual communication demonstration of a plan which assist to program, organize
as well as lead particular project in a projection. In this list of activities are mentioned on left of
the graph and suitable time period standard at top of it (Hajer and Yusof, 2015). Its crosswise
axis represents total time period duration of work while perpendicular axis stand for tasks that
used to form up task. This chart consist of activities performed in a project, beginning and ending
time of activity, time limit of each activity, intersection of different activities and start & end
date of entire project. In present situation, Gantt charts are basically used to track project
schedules which guides manager or leader of an organisation to perform project and aims to
attain objectives efficiently.

Research Methodologies
There are five types of research methods which can be used which conducting the
research. It is explained as follows:
Primary Research:
It is define as a kind of research in which data is collected by individuals with the help of
surveys, face to face interaction, group discussion and many more (Keyes, 2016). This research
is mainly conducted by small scale business as it cannot be conducted on large scale. It is
because conducting primary research at wide scale which will lead in complexity in research. In
this research data collected is accurate and relevant. In addition to this, it is an expensive process
and is time consuming. In this type of research, individual get instant result from their customer
through which they are able to determine their behaviour towards them.
Secondary Research:
It is refereed to those research in which information is gathered from secondary sources
such as past data record, magazines, newspaper and so on (Marabelli and et.al., 2013). In
secondary research there are less possibility that individual will be able to get adequate and
relevant information as per their requirement. This research is opposite of primary research
which means it is cost effective as well as also saves time of individuals. This research can be
conducted in both small as large scale business but it is mainly adopted by large scale
organisation. While conducting this research, individual will not be able to determine customer
behaviour due to which their outcomes will get delayed.
Qualitative Research:
This research seeks answers to questions such as why and how people behave. It provides
in-depth information about human behaviour. It is a scientific method for observation and used
to gather non-numerical data (Paju, 2013). Qualitative data includes meanings of certain things,
definitions, characteristics, and symbols but doesn't involve numbers and statistics. It mainly
focuses on 'why' in place of 'what' people is thinking about anything. Researchers use their
senses and ability to collect perceptions and description of populations, places or events. It often
involves words or languages, but also can use pictures, photographs and observations. This
research describes topic rather than measuring it. The different sources used in qualitative
research are such as direct observation, focus group, open ended surveys, postcards, secondary
data, participant observation or content analysis.

Quantitative Research:
This is structured and systematic analysis which includes gathering of quantifiable data or
data which can be easily transmitted into statistics (Pult and Manwani, 2014). Quantitative
research is used assemble informations from customers by various methods such as
questionnaires, online surveys and polls etc. It is an empirical investigation with an ultimate aim
to provide detailed and accurate information about any event, programme, products or services in
mathematical or statistical form. This numerical data can put option into class, in offensive
command or metrical in units of standard and can be utilized to misconception visual
communication and tabular array of raw data.
Sampling:
It is a process of selecting a part of the population (Swart and Duncan, 2013). Sampling
is an analysis which is used to predetermined number of observations or subset of population to
make statistical inferences and estimate characteristics of whole population. Individual selected
from a group of population is termed as Sample. Main purpose of sampling is to collect data and
information in random or systematic way which identify needs and wants of targeted population.
Sampling methods are such as systematic, probability and cluster etc. In order to conduct this
research, project manager will require 30 respondents which they will be asking from employees
in an organisation.
Analyse research and data using appropriate tools and techniques.
