Project management has always been an important branch of management. It involves gathering different resources with using a scientific approach of management to build all types of projects, starting from infrastructure facilities and buildings, to IT projects, or even to prepare and manage special events. As far as special events are concerned, Music Festivals usually require precise planning and organising for many reasons. The huge number of guests associated with such events, and the different types of resources needed to complete the project are all crucial elements, and will make planning for the Music Festival such a challenging task for the project manager, especially if it lasts for few days. The lack of accommodation, the hilly nature of the ground, and unexpected changes in weather are all problems facing the project manager that need to be addressed appropriately. This essay will discuss the resourcing plan, risk management plan, and leadership and management plan for the Music Festival. it will also discuss the reasons behind choosing the predictive approach among other available options in implementing project life cycles.
The Music Festival is going to be held in the countryside of Victoria during the Australia Day weekend in 2016. The expected number of guests are between 8000-12000 guests and might change without prior notice. The local accommodation is limited, which means many extra units or little tents will be prepared and provided to address this
Explain the role of capitalism in the 100-year growth of Nederlander Concerts. How does Nederlander benefit from each of the fundamental rights of capitalism?
This is a free event but booking is necessary because space is limited. For more information and booking details go to www.spiritofanzac.gov.au
The festival which already receives funding from major companies, can seek out new music focused company sponsorship's that will provide aid for the costs of the concerts. The last opportunity for the festival includes the role it can provide in educating the local youth about local cultural music, theater, and arts. Many may grow up to have a strong appreciation towards their own communities’ festival.
In recent years the growth of the festival’s attendance has created a problem for many visitors in their ability to find lodging. Resulting in many having to stay in motels and/or bed and breakfasts as far as 60 kilometres away. Readings and musical events sell out within hours after tickets go on sale. Additional readings have been added, but the demand still exceeds the supply.
Every project is going to experience a certain level of risk and it’s the responsibility of the project manager or event organizer to assess the risk and determine what is acceptable and how to mitigate certain elements if risk, or to elect that the risk is too great and make alternative arrangements.
“A three-day event is just perfect for me”, Allan Theodre said. “You get more fun for your money”. It was his second year attending the festival.
A project is a temporary endeavour that creates a unique result. Time, budget, resources, and performance specifications, to meet requirements made by stakeholders, limit a project (Project Management Institute, 2013, pg.3). Project management is the application of tools, techniques, and knowledge to help achieve the three main constraints of scope, cost and time (Project Management Institute, 2013, pg.5). This applies managerial process and gives project managers the opportunity to make a project successful. However, there are still numbers of project failures both big and small projects. This failure does not only affect finances but also demoralizes employees who have laboured diligently to complete the work. The case of Wembley Stadium project failure will be analyzed in this paper to illustrate project management difficulties a project can encounter if appropriate tools and techniques are not successfully developed, implemented, and evaluated within the project management processes. The major problems concerning the Wembley Stadium project were scope, time, cost, quality, and stakeholder issues (Carter, 2002). However, this paper would be focusing on scope, time and cost issues. The format of this paper will include the project analysis, which will provide brief description of the Wembley stadium project, and main reasons why the project failed. This will be followed by the analysis of how the issue of the project failure is related to project management knowledge
I have attached the list of students currently registered for the Music Open House, we have five. We need to get confirmation letters out to these students ASAP. Do you want to send those from your department or would you like us to take care of that? Another possibility would be for you to draft a letter, and we could take care of sending it out along with a campus map.
festivals. They will need to consider hiring more part-time help to promote their business at the music festivals.
Even though the price would be lowered because of the bad weather as per the tying in price and weather policy, not everyone would still want to go away. Either it needs to be explained clearly on the website that undesirable weather will not entitle any customer to a refund or to change or cancel their booking without penalty; or the policy must be clear in whatever the company decides is fair. For example, it may state that if the weather is unpleasant can change (but not cancel) the booking to another time.
Ultra Music Festival (UMF) is a yearly open air electronic music celebration that happens in March in the city of Miami, Florida, United States (DURAN, 2013).In this report I have analysed about the ultra-Miami festival event in USA and what is behind the success of the event. Events rarely succeed or fail it is totally depending on the scheduling and who all are the stakeholders are supporting the particular event. For a successful event there are several potential goals to satisfy and a plethora of stakeholders to involve (Presenza, 2012). Festivals are mostly unique in the events sector how the stakeholders are involved in the events. Media is mainly involved in a group way in television and
Project Management is a tool that is needed in any industry to be successful. In the fashion industry there is always going to be projects, events and shows that are going on. In order to get these projects accomplished on time project management is needed. I am going to use the case of a fashion show. Lihn Tran says that “The fashion industry is probably one of the fastest moving in the business world” (Tran). In order for the fashion industry to run in an orderly fashion, their needs to be a project manager that is in charge of such a big growing industry. In order to put on this type of show we need to make sure that we have a project leader and other employees who are going to have specific jobs with specific deadlines. This is going to be the companies’ first retail fashion show, so they want to make sure things run smoothly. They are a small company with only 8 employees including the owner. Some owners try to accomplish way to much, more than they can do themselves, Skillpath says “project managers and business owners often try to tackle all aspects of running a company or specific project by themselves. While this is ambitious, it 's not realistic” (How).
This paper includes an outline of a presentation, command terms and definitions, examples of graphs and a Work Breakdown Schedule (WBS) on project management, and presented to the class at Crescent View High School. The focus will be on how to plan, schedule, monitor, and report on projects. Also included are the project management methodologies, tools and techniques used. The discussion to the class will begin with an opening statement that provides an overview of project management, terms and definitions, and an example of buying a house utilizing project management to manage activities.
A key activity in project management is assessing project constraints. A project has three limitations: scope, budget and schedule. These limitations are project constraints because they are sensitive to change and have an impact on project risk. Risk is exposure to uncertain outcomes. Project constraints are mutually exclusive. If one constraint changes it affects the others and adjustments may be required to compensate and manage risks. For example, a delay in the schedule can increase the risk that the project will not finish on time. Time is money and delays have a negative impact on the budget. To
The paper is divided into three sections, the first of which will establish a timeline of events. This project background will serve as a case study for the analysis in the following section that will be structured such that each of the previously mentioned facets will be independently analyzed and contrasted with project management principles. Finally the paper will conclude with a summary of the analysis and recommendations based on
