Project title:
Managing the development and running of a recycling facility to facilitate the processing
of the plastic waste that is produced at UWE Frenchay Campus.
Project Initiation Plan
Business case
The main reason for developing this project plan is to manage the development as well as
run a recycling facility that helps to process the plastic waste that in produced in the undertaken
campus. The campus that is chosen for this research plan is UWE Frenchay Campus having its
main campus in UWE Bristol.
The benefits of this project is reducing the amount of waste that are sent to the land and
the incinerators. By implementing this project plan, the natural resources including minerals,
timber, as well as water can be conserved from being getting polluted. This project plan will also
increase the economic security that can tap the materials that comes from the domestic areas.
With the recycling of the waste materials, pollution can be reduced as because this project plan
includes collecting of raw materials. As this project deals with plastic recycling, the project
needs to save the energy by the process of recycling. All the valuable resources can be conserved
by recycling process that is proposed in this project plan. This project will also benefit the
workers of the manufacturing industries as because more job vacancies are created in those
industries.
The best approach that can be used for carrying out this project plan is agile methodology
of project management (Binder 2016). The agile methodology is the best suited methodology
that can be used in project as because this project is an iterative method as well as follows

3PROJECT MANAGEMENT
incremental way of managing the project. The agile methodology is a particular type of process
that satisfies the demands as well as provides solutions that evolve via collaborative effort that
helps in self organizing as well as includes teams that are cross-functional along with their
customers. This agile methodology improves the inadequacies in the waterfall model. The agile
methodology that is used for this project meets demand of high competitive as well as includes
constant movement in the industry.
The agile methodology used in this project management will stems all the values as well
as principles that are included in the Agile Manifesto. This methodology promotes iteration for
developing the project and includes testing process and quality assurance process in the project
(Kerzner 2017). The agile methodology provides flexibility to the developer of the project. The
activities in the agile methodology are divided in to sprints that helps the developers to carry the
project more smoothly. The agile methodology used in conducting this project plan includes four
values as well as includes 12 main key principles. The values that are included in the agile
approach are:
1. There should be individual as well as interaction in the project processes as well as in
project tools.
2. The software that is being working should have comprehensive documentation.
3. There should be customer collaboration in the project over the contact negotiation.
4. Respond should be given for changing the plan of the project.
The principles associated with this project are:
1. The customer satisfaction is enhanced through early delivery of the project plan.

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2. The agile methodology helps to accommodate the changing requirement in the
development process of the project plan.
3. Frequent delivery with the software that is being used for.
4. This helps to enable the interactions that can be done face-to-face.
5. The working of the software is considered as some primary measure for the project
progress.
6. The process of agile helps to support many consistent pace of development.
7. Proper attention is given to the technical detail as well as helps in designing increases the
agility.
8. This methodology is very simple.
9. The working software is the main primary measure for the progress.
10. Provides supports, motivation as well as trust in the people involved.
11. Self-organizing enhances team with great architectures, designs as well as requirements.
12. The regular reflections helps to make the project more effective.
The total cost of the project that is being undertaken is $142,800 and it is generally
expected that all project gets complete within the schedule time and scheduled budget. The total
time that is taken to complete this project is 74 days.
Project Aim
The main aim of the project is developing project plan that will help to manage a

Risk Management plan
The risks that are included in carrying out this project plan are stated below:
 Estimate project risks as well as time: The project estimate that is being carried out in
the project is not always maintained. There is always a risk of not estimating the time
properly related to the project.
 Changing the requirements: The requirements can be changed while developing the
project. This might be a risk in the project of the changed requirement that is being newly
implemented in the project. The market today is very much competitive and there always

19PROJECT MANAGEMENT
remains a chance that the clients changes their vision related to the project that is being
undergoing.
 Circumstances that are unforeseen: The project that are undertaken by the project
managers and other stakeholders might fall sick or some circumstances may arise that can
delay the project completion time.
 Specifications not clear: The project that is being undertaken might not have proper
project specification that might include incorrect project initiation along with project
specifications that are not always clear for the developers for staring the project.
 Technical risks: The technical risks that are included in the project might not be able to
satisfy the project requirement that are included in the project.
 Unavoidable risks: The risk that cannot be controlled in the project and also cannot be
avoided. The changing of government policy also comes under unavoidable risks.
Lesson Report
The lesson that can be learnt after completing this project is completing a project with the
scheduled time and within scheduled budget. This particular project report teach to develop a
business case for the project that is being undertaken. This project also helps to lean about how
the waster materials are being recycled to form new products. The project also helps to develop a
project scope and project objective for the undertaken topic.
From this project, the process of developing project plan is expected to be utilized in the
future projects. The developer of the project also can gain project knowledge of creating a WBS
of the project. Gantt chart is developed in this project plan that will help the developers to
develop any project schedule related to any other project. This report also states the project

20PROJECT MANAGEMENT
structure team and create critical path of the project. Milestones can also be learnt from the
project.
