The following are the deliverables that will be expected in this project:
1. Inception Report (grade A) - this is the very first deliverable of the assignment, it is a very important deliverable and it should have a high grade (A) because it sets the first phase of the project. This report will provide the following: the outline of the final report, the methodology of the assignment and the initial budget estimates.
2. First Interim Report (grade B) – this is the second deliverable; it is graded relatively lower than the first deliverable. This report will provide: Finalized budget, the proposed team of professionals and a stakeholders analysis.
3. Second Interim report (grade A) - this is an important deliverable because it is crucial in monitoring the progress of the project. It will clearly outline the communication plan for this project in order to ensure that all team members understand their roles and the chain of protocol.
4. Design Report (grade A) – this is a crucial deliverable that requires serious work to avoid compromising the quality of the desired products such as uniforms, apparel and the gear; the report has a higher grade due to its importance and relevance to this project. The design report will clearly show the design and engineering aspects of the products.
5. Draft Report (grade B) – this is a reflection of the final report; it has a lower grade than the final report since there is time for incorporation of comments from stakeholders and the team members. This deliverable will be based on the outline that was discussed during the inception meeting along with the proposed final report outline that was documented in the inception report
6. Final report (grade A) - This is a very important deliverable that marks the end of the entire project in order to determine if the project was a success or failure, that is why it earns the top grade. The report will be an improvement of the Draft Report that was discussed in the presentation during a stakeholders’ workshop.

(High/Low)
Impact of the Risk
(High/Low)
Description of the Impact (in terms of cost, time, and
quality)
Response Strategy (with explanation)
Lack of enough funds
The proponent is looking for external financial support;
therefore there was a possibility of funds running out in the
course of construction.
High – Because there is no guarantee that donors will fund the
project
High - because the project will not be completed
· Time will be lost if the project will not be completed
· Poor quality will result if the funds are not enough
· Money will be wasted is the project stops
The project proponent should look for promising donors
Legal challenges
The project may fail to meet the legal standards that have been
established by the municipality
Low – the proponent will cooperate with the local authorities
High – because the construction will be illegal
· Time will be wasted because the project will not take place
· Money will be wasted because the project will have aborted
Comply with the local laws and regulations
Lack of team unity
There may be lack of cooperation among members of the team
that is proposing the project
High – because human being is a social animal and conflicts are
bound to happen when working as a team
High – because the project may fail to take place as planned
· Time will be wasted because the mission will not be
4. accomplished
· Funds may not be adequate because conflicts among team
members may turn donors away
Ensure that a professional sociologist intervenes whenever there
is a conflict
Negative environmental impacts
There is likelihood that the project will interfere with the
environment since the construction will take place in an outdoor
open space
High – because environment is sensitive to construction projects
High – because environmental lobbyist may take legal action to
stop the project.
· Time will be wasted if the project is stropped
· Money will be lost if the project is stopped
An environmental impact assessment study should be conducted
to propose appropriate mitigation measures
Political interference
Considering that this is a project that deals with the aesthetics
of the park; therefore, local politicians may take interest and
interfere with the project.
High – because politics are part of developments
High – because politicians may influence civil society groups to
demonstrate in order to stop the project
· Money will be lost if the project is stopped
· Time will be lost if the project will not be implemented
· Donors may withdraw money due to the politically charged
environment- This will lead to poor quality due to lack of funds
Consult all Stakeholders including the politicians to minimize
future conflicts during project implementation.

High/Low (with explanation)
Impact
High/Low (with explanation)
Describe Impact (in terms of cost, time, and quality)
Response Strategy (with explanation)
Lack of unity among team members
There may be some internal conflicts among team members due
to social the nature of human beings
Low- because there is a project coordinator
High - because the whole project will be delayed
· Millions of dollars will be lost.
· The project will take longer time due to the delay
· Quality will be compromised
The project coordinator should ensure that there is the spirit of
team work among the professionals
Disagreement among the stakeholders
Issues that can cause disagreement of the key stakeholders may
arise
· High- because this is a giant project that will involve millions
of dollars.
· Stakeholders are keen to see how they can influence decisions
or even benefit from the project
6. High – because stakeholders play a major role in
implementation of a project especially in the sports sector
· Funding may be delayed because some donors may be
influenced to withdraw their support
· The project may not be implemented to lack of funds
· If funding will not be sufficient, the quality will be low
· The project manager should organize for stakeholders
workshops in order to discuss issues the that may arise
· This will lead to a consensus, hence the project will proceed
as planned
In accurate budget estimate
The budget may be overestimated or underestimated
Low – because a trained and an experienced professional will be
in charge
High – because if the budget is over estimated, donors may be
suspicious of corruption. On the other hand if the budget is
underestimated the products will be of poor quality
· Quality will be compromised
· The project implementation may be jeopardized
· Money will be wasted if there are delays
The financial experts should work on the possible errors in the
budget in order to fix them
Communication gaps
The project team may misunderstand what is required of them
Low- because a sociologist and the project manager will be in
charge to ensure that all team members are updated and know
what is expected of them
High-because there may inconsistency in deliverables
The quality of the uniforms and sport gears will be
compromised
· The sociologist and the project manager should always review
the communication plan whenever there are lapses
7. · Appropriate measures should be put in place to address the
communication lapses
Experts turn over
Some of the key experts may resign due to internal or external
factors
High – because employees are always looking for greener
pastures. If they are offered better package else where they may
decide to quit their current job
High – This will lead to project delay
· High cost will be incurred in recruiting new employees. This
will be inconsistent with the estimated budget
· The project will take longer time than expected
· Quality of the uniforms, apparels and the sport gear may be
compromised
· The project manager should put ensure that there are measures
to address the welfare of the employees whenever issues arise
· A good cost efficient plan for hiring new employees should be
put in place to mitigate this

Communication Management
As shown in my Communication Management Plan, my first
plan of action would be a (pre-Con) as I know it, or pre-
construction meeting, where we (all parties involved,) would
discuss:
· Expectations,
· Scheduling,
19. · Sequence of events
· Which uniforms would be required first or if in a lump sum
quantity
· Documentation the stakeholders would require
· Go over a list of approved vendors
I scheduled this for 1-2 hours, which would all depend on how
in depth the meeting would go, as well as allow for discussion
time amongst us all.
Next, I have listed monthly progress meetings, which ideally
should be face-to-face depending upon scheduling and
availability. This would allows us to go over any project
concerns, milestones, or tasks as well as, the ability to discuss
the actual progression of the project. I feel the main team
members involved in the project, as well as, the stakeholder
and/or representatives should make it a point to be at these
meetings in order to get a grasp of the rate at which the project
is moving along. This would also allow adequate time for
implementing changes if need be.
I inputted a section for (RFI’s) or request for information, and
this can come from any member involved in the project, in order
to clarify or address concerns, along with offering advice. I feel
email and fax would work best for this type of communication
as it is formally documented.
Next, I would like to conduct vendor design supply meetings, in
which the PM as well as merchandising teams, team leaders and
stakeholders, would attend bi-weekly web cam conferences, in
order to see how the vendors are incorporating the teams ideas,
as well as the availability of the merchandise and production
deadlines.
Lastly, I have assigned a monthly meeting to go over strategies
for marketing the products, dealing with public relations, as
well as setting a cost for the product. I believe the CEO, and
stakeholders should be the main contributors in this meeting,
and then pass down the information discussed to the varying
underlying agencies.
According to PMBOK, 2013., mu communication management
20. plan would all utilize familiar terminology so tat every audience
member is able to thoroughly understand matters being
addressed. Also, a major key to a success of a project is clear,
concise, reliable and informative information that can be
presented on a regular schedule or basis; not just when issues
arise. The ability to communicate steadily, gives everyone
involved in the project the ability to foresee any issues, and
remedy them before they happen.

Introduction/Background
Under Armour has been commissioned by ABC University along
with the college’s 25 athletic teams, to design, manufacture and
implement new performance sporting gear, equipment and
footwear. The improved athletic gear and redesigned collegiate
uniforms for our client is an exceptional opportunity not only to
improve the image of ABC University’s athletic programs, but
for Under Armour to gain free marketing exposure from the fans
and televised broadcasts of the sports teams. It is a necessity
that Under Armour approaches the re-design in such a manner
as to maintain the University’s approval, but also incorporating
performance technology with a mainstream design that will
allow the athletes to feel successful and empowered. In
consulting with ABC University, Under Armour understands the
importance of interacting and interpreting the elements required
in new gear, and performance equipment, while striving to
implement and accomplish the goals set fourth by ABC, as well
as, the standards within Under Armour itself. The new uniforms
must be mainstream and designed with the collegiate athlete in
mind. Equipment should be light, yet strong and footwear
should be supportive, breathable and comfortable for long hours
of wear. Under Armour plans to utilize innovative technologies,
new fabrics and successful branding, to produce bold, on trend
uniforms that will be reflective of Under Armour’s mission, as
well as, ABC University’s vision. Under Armour believes that
this approach will not only increase sales from the everyday
athlete, but also be successful in the recruitment of new
sponsorships.
Scope of Work
The scope of work for the equipment, gear and performance
footwear contract includes all research, planning, design,
manufacturing and implementation into everyday use by the
collegiate athletes. Under Armour will consort with ABC on all
design elements of the new uniforms, and will implement
24. changes based upon their feedback. Each stage of the project
will require approval from ABC’s Board of Directors’ before
proceeding to the next step. Physical samples of material, along
with design elements, will be provided to ABC for approval
before production. Under Armour has the authority to choose
it’s own vendors, as well as, other resources, which will be
needed in order to produce the required uniforms, gear and
footwear.Period of Performance
As per the contract, Under Armour has 6 months (180) days
from February 1, 2015 in order to gain approval for all
materials and designs that will be used in the manufacturing of
the new uniforms, gear and equipment. Any delays due to
indecision from ABC’s Board of Directors will be reflected as a
time modification and added to the original contract deadline
and initiated by Under Armour. Once design and equipment is
approved, Under Armour has 6 months (180) days from August
3, 2015 to produce the entirety of ABC’s order to the college
directly in order to begin implementation. Under Armour, will
provide enough personnel in order to distribute all the new
items to the college coaches, for delivery to the students. The
duration of the contract is 1 year, beginning February 1, 2015
(365 days) as long as there are no modifications or special
requests. All special requests must be in writing, from ABC’s
Board of Directors, to Under Armour. Under Armour then
reserves the right to extend the contract in reflection of the new
requests.Place of Performance
Under Armour will utilize it’s own vendors along with their
own facilities for the manufacturing and development of the
gear, uniforms and footwear. Under Armour will request on site
meetings with ABC’s Board of Directors, as a stage ends and
approval is needed from them in order to continue. Under
Armour will request in writing at least 1 week in advance for a
meeting to move forward. All efforts should be made by both
parties to come to an agreeable time that will not hinder the
production or flow of the schedule.Work Requirements

For the Uniform Redesign, and new Equipment Implementation
Project, the acceptance of all deliverables will reside with
ABC’s Board of Director’s or assigned Representatives. The
Board, or Representatives, will ensure that the uniforms,
footwear, and equipment are of approved design and quality,
thereby maintaining that the project scope was met. Under
Armour suggests that an agreed upon day, once manufacturing
has been completed, and before implementation day, that ABC’s
Board of Directors or Representatives, schedule a review of the
equipment, footwear, and uniforms which are to be presented to
the college on implementation day. By scheduling this ahead of
time, both parties can agree in advance as to the final products’
quality and design. This should allow the project closure to flow
easier, as the quality assurance will have already been agreed
upon. Once ABC approves the new products, Under Armour
will provide and submit their signoff/project closure report, as
well as, a checklist for review. At which time the Board, or
Representatives, will sign off on the project closure request
and document any changes they need remedied before
finalization.
The acceptance of this documentation by ABC’s Board of
Directors or Representatives, will acknowledge acceptance of
29. all project deliverables and that Under Armour has met all
assigned tasks.
Any discrepancies involving completion of project tasks or
disagreements between ABC and Under Armour, will be
referred to both organizations’ contracting offices for review
and discussion.
