deals in baby products, chocolates and other medical products. As per the given scenario, project
develop its aims and objectives effectively. Apart from this, this report includes a detail
description of project management plan along with Gantt chart and work breakdown structure. In

methodology. At the end of this research project, a recommendation, reflection and conclusion is
included in descriptive form.
TASK 1
P1. Project aims and objectives.

P2 Develop a project management plan.
Project management plan is an effective written document which is also known as
blueprint of a project. This plan includes all the information related to strategies and plans in

risk, quality and many more (Deresky, 2017). In the present context, researcher develop
effective and proper management plan in order to conduct the research in an effective
manner. Some of the key elements are as follows:
 Cost: It refers to the total amount which is required to produce a product. In the
present context, it has been identified that researcher required 30000 ponds in order
to conduct the whole research effectively.
 Scope: In the context of current investigation, scope of this research is vast and
helps in gaining effective directions for the development of whole industry.
 Time: It refers to the total duration in which the whole research is completed. In the
present context of this research, investigator take 4 months in order to complete the
research in an effective manner.
 Quality: It means the quality of a product which helps in satisfying the customers
requirements and demands. In the present context, it is very essential for the
researcher to maintain the quality in which researcher will gather all the information
from their sources.
 Communication: Communication is the process in which information is transferred
from one place to another in an effective manner (Dutta and Bose, 2015). In
reference to the current research, investigator communicate all the strategies and
plans with their team members in an effective manner, so that they can produce
positive outcome.
 Risk: It refers to the element which is faced by every researcher at the time of
completing the research in an effective manner. In the case of research, one of the
biggest risk is that there might be chances of loosing confidentiality of various
people, who share their information while answering questions.
 Resources: Resources includes capital, land as well as labour which is required by
researcher in order conduct the whole research in an effective manner. In the present

context, investigator need enough amount of funds, effective human resource,
upgraded technologies and many more.
P3 Gantt chart and work break down structure.
GANTT CHART
It is developed in the year 1910 by Henry Gantt. This chart helps in determining the
time required in order to perform activities in an effective manner. It is one of the most
important tool used by researcher which shows the time duration in the form of graphical
representation (Glukhov, Ilin and Levina, 2015). With the help of this, investigator can
perform their task as per the pre defined time period. Therefore, the projects will be
completed on time and does not get delayed.

WORK BREAT DOWN STRUCTURE (WBS)
It refers to the tool commonly used by project leader, where the divide the complex
and lengthy project in small parts. With this, managers can complete their work on time and
in an effective manner (Hillary, 2017). In the present context, WBS is used by investigator
and then distributes the work in small task, so that they can perform their task in an effective
manner. Apart from this, it has been analysed that WBS helps in enhancing the accuracy of
outcome.

TASK 2
P4 Qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Primary data
It refers to the data which is original and collected by the researcher for very first time.
Sources of this type of data collection include personal interview, questionnaire, survey, focused

by some one else in advance. These sources includes websites, books, journals, articles,
newspapers and many more. This type of data collection is very easy and convenient as it saves
time as well as cost of researcher. In the present context of current research, researcher adopt
articles, journals and books so that they can get required data related with the project topic.
In the present report, researcher adopt both primary as well as secondary method for
collecting data in a specific period of time. Apart from this, investigator adopt questionnaire
method for gathering primary data.
Qualitative research
Qualitative data plays very important role in order to gather information for completing
the research effectively. In this type of research, collected data is examined by description of
experience and information (Julien, 2018). It is the type of data which is being gathered by

method, as it is very effective research. Reason behind this is that it is based on the perception of
human.
Quantitative research
In case of quantitative approach, gathered data and information is analysed with the help
of numerical and statistical method. This type of data is usually collected with the help of
questionnaire. Data collected through this method is specific, accurate and reliable in nature. In
order to analyse the data, specialist is required which is quite tough task.

In the present context, qualitative approach is used by researcher so that they can
accomplish their task in an effective manner.
Sampling
