PROJECT: NEW COMMUNITY BASEBALL PARK

Brief summary

The project is a new Baseball Park for the community. There is a need for the facility to meet the needs of the people in the community. It was seen as necessary for the park to be constructed so that it can be used by the members of the community. It is a community project that should be delivered in time so that it can be put to use. All the necessary resources are available, and the project should be started.

Project goals and project objectives

Goals are long term, and they include the following. First, the project needs to be an additional resource to the community in future. Secondly, it should keep the members of the community busy. Third, the future generation of the community should have somewhere to play. Objectives are short-term, one of which is to complete the project within ten months. The second objective is for the project to be a source of income for the community as soon as it is completed. The third objective is for the project to provide a venue for local schools to play baseball.

Key customers and stakeholders

It is a community project. Therefore, the community is the customer. A project also needs to have stakeholders (Lewis, 2006). The legal authorities and suppliers are the major stakeholders in the project. The authorities will ensure it is safe for the project to go on while suppliers will make sure the necessary raw materials are available in the best quality.

Milestones

Project milestones are the greatest achievements that a project should meet. Depending on the project, milestones differ (Larson & Gray, 2014). The first milestone, in this case, is for the project to be delivered within the expected time. Secondly, the budget should be sufficient to cover all financial needs. The third milestone is for the project to serve the purpose for which it was intended.

Timeline

The overall project needs to be delivered within ten months. A project needs to have a definite timeline. One of the major tasks involve surveying the proposed site to see if it is suitable; this will take three weeks. The construction of the park will take the most amount of time, and it is will be eight months.

Project cost and other resources

The project is expected to take $5 million to be completed. This amount is to cover all the financial needs. Staffing resources will require the project manager to higher professionals in different fields. Non-staffing resources will involve obtaining all other necessary resources in the right qualities and quantities.

Challenge and recommendation

The greatest challenge that the project is likely to face is the strict deadline. To deal with this, it is recommended that all resources are availed on time and the human resources are committed and dedicate to their work.
