According to the PMBOK® Guide, "the Communications
Planning process determines the information and
communications needs of the stakeholders; for example, who
needs what information, when they will need it, how it will be
given to them, and by whom." In other words, it lists the
6. general communication requirements for the project.
Create a simple communication plan for the execution of your
project. This plan should have the following information:
contact information for all affected parties, major deliverables
and how progress on the deliverables will be communicated to
the affected parties (as well as who the affected parties are and
when communication will take place), and any other
miscellaneous information about communication on the project.

Coffee Shop in a Small town with no existing coffee shop and a
population of 40,000 people

Start Date:
1/18/2014
Scheduled Completion Date:
2/18/2014
Mission/ Purpose
The mission of the project is to provide the customers with
coffee with the best quality and taste so that they not only keep
coming to the shop but also bring their friends hence capturing
large market share in town. The project is therefore inclined to
achieving the objectives of the company by making the
ambience of the shop comfortable for customers and always
15. ensuring that the customers get quality coffee. This idea of a
coffee shop is a project of its own.
SOW
The project is going to create coffee of great taste and great
quality. Therefore, the main product of the project is coffee. At
a high level, some of the things I plan to do are opening of new
branches, diversification by offering different kind of pastries,
installation of Wi-Fi internet access where clients can access
internet through their laptops and tablets and adoption of a
coffee culture where I will incorporate the Italian coffee culture
and the Starbucks model where clients can relax as they take
their coffee. Therefore, the high level deliverables are opening
of other branches, provision of different pastries, and
installation of Wi-Fi internet access and incorporation of Italian
coffee culture.
Objectives
Among the objectives of the company are:
To provide different kinds of coffee pastries with great taste
and pocket friendly prices.
To extend the business into the neighboring towns within the
first year of operation.
To attract people of different cultures by incorporating their
cultures in the shops and striving for high quality coffee all the
time.
Business NeedThere is a very good business reason for
executing this project. In terms of competition, the project has a
green light to start. This is because there are no other coffee
shops to compete with in the town. Therefore, the market entry
can be less demanding and less costly for the project. In terms
of availability of market, the business will be situated in a town
16. with a big population of 40000 people. Therefore, there is
sufficient market for the shop.
Project Manager and Stakeholders
I, Robert Williams being the founder of the coffee shop will
assume the leadership role. I will work with a number of
stakeholders. Among these stakeholders are the public health
officers, who will be responsible for checking the health-related
conditions for producing the coffee; the farmers, who will be
producing the coffee in their farms; the suppliers who will be
delivering the coffee from the farms to the shop and the
investors who will contribute in the implementation of capital
intensive activities in the project.
Milestones
Some of the key milestones dates in this project are the time the
coffee shop is opened, the time the coffee shop extends to
another town, and the time Wi-Fi internet is installed in the
shop.
Budget
Because the market entry is going to be less costly for the
project, the order-of-magnitude of the budget is going to be
small. This is because much of the budget will go into
implementing only the basic requirements like rent, electricity,
water, seats, tables, raw coffee, sugar, and cutlery.
User Acceptance Criteria/Quality
Among the minimum success criteria are meeting the best
quality standards in terms of production and taste and ensuring
that the customers fill the shop to the capacity all the times.
High level of hygiene and cleanliness has to be met in the shop
by maintaining outstanding cleanliness all the times.
High-Level Project Assumptions
17. The high-level project assumptions is that the people from
shopping malls, restaurants, workplaces and offices find the
coffee shop as the most preferred place for relaxation.
High-Level Project Constraints
The major limiting factor to effect the high-level project goal of
making the shop the most preferred place for relaxation is the
high capital needed to install such facilities as TV screens,
internet access and state-of-art music system.
Exclusions and Boundaries
The boundaries of the project cover the provision of all
varieties and tastes of coffee, and all the facilities that make the
shop comfortable and worth going to. The other things like
snacks, which go a long with coffee, will also be included. The
rest of the hard foodstuff will be excluded.
Major Risks
One of the main risks affecting the project is the financial risk.
Because of the financial demands for starting it, and the need to
bring more customers, it may encounter some losses first before
making profits.

Among the features of the product is high taste. The product
should also be natural, meaning that there should be no other
additives apart from sugar that is used for sweetening. It must
be served in very clean mugs all the time.

A project plan cannot be considered complete until the
resources have been assigned (including the bottom-up cost
estimate) and leveled, ensuring that the resources are available
to complete the work.
Tasks:
Assign resources to tasks.
Print out the resource sheet.
Identify resources that are over-allocated.
Print the Gantt chart and entry table.
Print reports (or tables) showing the costs of the resources and
the cost by work package. Is this an acceptable cost for your
project? That is, is it within the budget proposed in the scope
statement?
Level the project within available slack.
Print the new entry table (do not include the Gantt chart).
Identify resources that remain over-allocated.
If resources are still over allocated, clear leveling and then re-
level without the slack constraint.
Identify how this has affected the project duration (the number
of days and the new completion date).
Assume that no other resources are available. What will your
team do to complete the project on time? Instead of assigning
overtime, add a new resource for a cost 1.5 times the normal
labor cost. What is the cost for the additional resource and the
total project? Is this revised cost within the amount developed
in the scope statement? If you choose not to add a resource,
22. your project completion may be delayed. Is a delay in the
project due date acceptable? Why or why not? Submit
supporting documentation from MS Project as needed.
Deliverables:
A journal of project activity. Describe what you did on each
step, and the results of your actions.
MS Project printouts (as above). Please indicate on the printouts
which step they support.
Final time and cost results. Describe how these meet the needs
as defined in the scope statement. If your team believes that the
original scope statement needs to change, describe the changes,
why the changes were necessary, and include the modified
scope statement in the deliverables.
Include a copy of your original (and revised, if necessary) scope
statement with the deliverables.
