The report outlines a project management plan, including scope, communication, resources, quality control, cost analysis, and risk assessment. A work breakdown structure (WBS) and Gantt chart are developed to visualize project timelines and task allocations. The research methodology includes both primary and secondary data analysis, with a focus on quantitative and qualitative methods, and sampling techniques. The report then presents data interpretation, analysis, and recommendations based on the research findings.

P2 Project management plan
Project topic- To determine the strategies and initiatives which can help an organisation in

developing an inclusive and diverse workforce.” A case study on Tesco plc.
Objectives
 To formulate and develop knowledge about inclusive and diverse workforce.
 To determine and focus on all strategies and initiatives which is implement by Tesco for
improvement of engaged employees and workforce.
 To identify and analyse benefits which are required by workforce of organisation.
Scope- The term scope consists of all phases which are required by specific goals as they are
broad in size. An effective list for all aspects such as function, cost, deliverable etc. are included
in project. So that all action which are performed to complete project must leads to accomplish
scope in organisation (Stettina and Hörz, 2015). Researcher also determines project scope so that
essential action as per opportunity or scope present in market.
Communication- With implement of phone calls, message and emails it is easy to communicate
with respondents to collect right information. Along with this internet method such as group
chats to gather data at a similar place is also used for effective communication. This relates with
using devices that helps to complete work that is used for managing to complete work in right
manner. Moreover, there are various task and operations is used that demonstrate for completing
its work by managing desired outcomes through transferring meaningful information in effective

laptop, human and team-mates which is beneficial for completing all task and operations that is

used to interpret meaningful results from the report.
Quality- KPI and quality control chart are most effective method that is used to complete
research properly and ensure that information or data which is used are authentic and reliable for
research. This relates with quality aspects which is used by management to achieve after
completion of project. Along with this it relates with quality of data that is collect at time of
research. From point view of researcher quality aspects is implemented through right form of
research and information.
Cost- Total amount that is required for complete of project by the researcher is an amount of 100
pounds. This all are required at time of managing task such as travelling expenses, collection of
resources and other fixed charges such as printing etc. So it results overall cost is calculated and
develop a budget for proper analysis of cost.
Time- This refers to analyse and calculate all time activities which is undertakes by researcher
for completing project in an effective manner. In order to complete research in an organised
manner time required by investigator is of 8 weeks for recognise of all task and complete them as
priority. Along with this it is also important to determine all phase are completed within accurate
and organised way. It results there is no delay for complete of research project (Gatsi, 2016).
Investigator decided to generate better and relevant results from research by completing it period
of two weeks.
Risk- The term risk refers to an aspect that is used for managing contingencies which occur at
time of carrying out different projects that impact on quality of project. This aspect also leads to

TASK 2
P4 Small Scale Research
From the perspective of BEN FOLEY, 2018 secondary data analysis refers to a research
that is utilised of information which is gathered by for a purpose through examine previous
study. Books, magazine and journals are most common method that complete research in proper
manner through familiarize of data with the purpose of research. In context of this investigator
utilised secondary data research methods for collecting essential information such as required
population size for research and many more before completing project.
The term research refers to a process that is used for searching and finding all essential
aspect that relates with new topic and along with this data is collected from all sources (Rahimi,
Møller and Hvam, 2016). There are different sources of research present in market that is

primary and secondary. Moreover, technique for collecting of data is also different which states
as qualitative and quantitative. On the other side, sampling methods of data are also present in
market this is to manage information in proper manner.
Primary research- This data is collected by researcher for completing research with interacting
from respondents for achieving a specific purpose. It also determines for completing all activities
by collecting them with purpose of original research. In context of Tesco primary research
method is more beneficial because it leads to answer specific questions with use of right
information.
Secondary research- Information which is collected by from researcher by using records,
books, journals, database etc. that leads to complete research in minimum time period. Along
with this investigator is used by researcher for collecting information in minimum time. From
point of researcher it is beneficial for understanding and analysing data and information that of
previous year trends.

graphs, statistics and in all information that is available with in formats. This is used to carry
output from formulating norms and conclusion that carry meaningful results by evaluating results
(Quinlan, Babin and Griffin, 2019). Moreover, it is used to collect and gather data that is
collected and information is carried in form of questionnaires and graphical representation.
Qualitative method- With this research method all information is collect with form of quality
that provides varied statement and it is measured in form of research. This is conducted from
open ended questionnaire so all information is collected from feedback also. Along with this it is
used to collect information from observation, facilitating of ideas, facts and ideas. The major
drawback for qualitative research is based in personal point that offer view and exact information
from respondents.
Sampling- The use of sampling refer to process that is used to analyse particular amount of
individuals which is selected and used for complete research that conduct better results by
undertaking all data and information which is collect from respondents. The sample size which is
collected is 30 to analyse right information from respondents. Moreover, probability and non-
probability are two type of sampling methods that is used for select an effective amount of
sample.

Probability sampling- According to probability sampling information is collected from selected
data and each unit for population has chance to select data (Pollack and Adler, 2014). In context
of this research random sampling method is used for use of right information that offer equal and
similar opportunity to all individuals.
Non-probability sampling- As per this research method some elements of population is
removed by researcher due to which all information is not selected. It is a cheap method for
collecting sample but they are not effective due to management is not able to gain right results.
