Project scenario - Get fit with football!

(Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional)

Introduction -

A Local Government Authority (LGA) has decided to organize a six-a-side football tournament. The tournament will contribute towards achieving the targets set by a national initiative to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. As part of the LGA's policy of self-funding, this has to be achieved at zero cost to the LGA (and therefore the local tax payer). The cost of the event will be covered through fees paid by teams registered to take part in the tournament, sponsorship and monies raised during the day. Any surplus would be used for the maintenance of local sports centres.

Teams can register under one of several age groups for both boys and girls. In addition, family members are asked to attend to provide support.

This sports event is designed to be a family day out. The football tournament will have an event village including a kidz'-zone, catering, car parking, mobile changing rooms and toilets. The tournament will take place on the LGA-owned football pitches near the centre of the town, although space is somewhat limited.

Scope -

The initial scope of the project includes:

a marketing campaign to promote the event;
a celebrity to open the event;
a website to provide information about the event and handle applications;
an event village to support the 'family day out';
the training of LGA staff as volunteers to run and support the event;
back-office processes to handle the applications;
fundraising to cover the cost of the event.

The project has been set up with four work streams to deliver this work:

1. Marketing

2. Website

3. Event Village

4. Staff Training

Project Background -

The LGA have extensive experience in using PRINCE2 and will run the event as a single project. The project manager is fully conversant with PRINCE2 Agile. One office in the LGA building in the centre of town has been given to the project for the entire duration. The office is across the corridor from the Marketing Department and the project manager has already put a sign on the door that says 'Mission Control'.

Timeline -

An initial timeline has been suggested and is shown in the following diagram. The timeline may evolve due to the agile ways of working. The timeline shows how work streams are broken down into work packages and/or timeboxes.

Event Village - Additional information

The aim of the event village is to provide a range of services and activities for anyone attending the football tournament.

The event village will comprise a number of work packages:

1. Event village design

2. A 'kids-zone' which includes trampolines and swings, as well as the opportunity to try out other sporting activities

3. Stalls which will be sold to local businesses to raise funds for the event:

Refreshment stalls within a large food tent. The LGA is keen to promote the culinary diversity of the town whilst adhering to the objective of eating healthily.
There are 30 vendor stalls selling products related to the event.
The LGA has five stalls to promote their longer term aims and to demonstrate current and future initiatives.

4. A car park for 200 cars.

5. Temporary facilities including changing rooms, toilets and shower facilities.

6. Dismantling of the event village and clean up.

The Event Village Team is assembled using staff from various LGA departments who have no experience of working with agile.

Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:

As a: Parent -

I want to: Have a refreshments tent to visit while I wait for my child's football match

So that: The children can find their parents between matches.

Which statement explains whether any part of this user story is appropriate?

The function in the 'what' is appropriate because it contains a solution.
The benefit in the 'why' is appropriate because it is easily measurable.
The 'who' is appropriate because the role has been clearly identified.
There are no valuable parts in this user story.

Correct answer: C

Project product description/Vision.
Event Village product groupings/Epic.
Car Park product description/User story.

Website - Additional information

A new website will be built for the event. There are five work packages within this product:

1. Initial homepage:

• Website showing the event details, competition rules, etc.

2. Team Registration functionality:

• team name, player's names and ages;

• contact information;

• payment;

• lunch pack requirements (includes any special dietary needs);

• car parking requirements.

3. Social media promoting the event and its aims.

The Website Team have a lot of experience in IT and have been using agile for several years. They are delivering the website through five two-week timeboxes. The team uses a Scrum Master to facilitate and the Scrum process and coach people accordingly.

The Website Team are very good at Scrum. They have created a set of tasks to assess more difficult work and they refer to this as sprint zero.

Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:

To keep the project manager informed, the Website Team tracks its progress on a burn-down chart which includes:

• How much work is remaining.

• The current rate of progress.

• Number of days worked in the current timebox.

• Whether all user stories will be delivered at the end of the timebox.

Which BEST explains how this burn-down chart tailors the progress theme?

It shows both the work completed and changes to the ideal rate of progress.
It shows the work completed and the total amount of work left to be done including changes.
It shows what has been completed and a forecast to complete the work.
It shows that it is NOT necessary to deliver all user stories in this timebox.

Timeline -

Marketing - Additional information

The marketing campaign has two key areas to promote:

1. The event itself including the football tournament, event village and fundraising activities.

2. The LGA's long term aim to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16.

The Marketing Team has received some initial Scrum training but is unsure how it can be applied to their marketing work.

The Marketing Team is keen that the project manager provides them with a clear brief for the campaign before they spend too much time on it.

They have experience of working with a variety of marketing channels, although they are not sure which channel(s) will work most effectively to promote this type of event, and in particular to promote the LGA's longer term health aims.

The Marketing Team is not clear on the priority to assign to the two aims for the event.

The Marketing Team will publish advertisements and/or promotional material every week, with more information in each issue to keep the message up to date.

Nine releases are scheduled at the end of each of the nine week-long timeboxes.

The nine timeboxes within the marketing work stream are scheduled to include:

• advertisements;

• a radio interview;

• production of a hand-out/flyer;

• banners and signs to put up around the town and at the event;

• the provision of a website and social media content;

• promotional posters to be displayed by local businesses.

Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question:

All the information given in the options is accurate in relation to the marketing work stream.

Which is MOST suitable to include in a written highlight report in an agile context?

Key risks: Risks have been documented by the team.
Benefits enabled: 500 responses to the published advertisement have been received.
Requests for change: There have been 27 low-level changes made by the Marketing Team within the current timebox.
Corrective actions taken during the period: None.

Correct answer: B

Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:

In Stage 4, the entire smart phone app is being delivered incrementally through one week sprints. The app is designed to promote healthy lifestyles and measure levels of physical activity of those using the app.

Which BEST describes how the 'managing a stage boundary' process should be tailored?

The 'managing a stage boundary' process should NOT be applied to Stage 4 as the delivery team is using Scrum.
The primary focus of the 'managing a stage boundary' process should be on whether the smart phone app was delivered on time.
As the smart phone app is a one-off build, a release retrospective is unnecessary at the end of Stage 4.
Assess the number of people using the app after releasing it to the registered teams.

Correct answer: D
