In this research paper the objectives to highlight the main environmental considerations and barriers involved with urban wind energy is done so by recognising the thoughts and perceptions of the three key group stakeholders; the developers, the planners and the social community. To understand the acceptance attitudes and concerns at hand, there must be an extended mutual engagement of the main parties involved.
This paper focusses on the environmental considerations and the barriers that are involved with integrating wind energy into the built environment with recognising what possible future outcomes are likely. As wind energy in Ireland has developed it is now recognised as an established renewable energy system. The exploration and possible use in urban areas for wind energy development come under increasing scrutiny. The need to consider the suitability of wind technology as an energy resource in the urban environment is a potential option for developers and planners.

Compensation and Benefit Package Planning
Introduction
Recently, I have been appointed to manage the Human Resource and to manage a small team. The company's next project is revamping the compensation and benefits package and assists in designing a working plan for the human resource project. As a result of this, I have decided to establish a project charter to help revamp the package and create a communication plan to be used during the project implementation process. By so doing, I would initiate a scope definition of the project and come up with a breakdown structure which includes very ell numbered elements.
The Project Charter
To revamp the compensation and benefits package, one should first establish the strategy and objectives of compensation. He or she should also ensure that the description of the job is correct and up to date followed by developing the structure of payment and finally communicate the plan (Kloppenborg, Tesch & Manolis, 2014). Compensation and benefits are a vital element in an organization. This package helps in attracting potential employees to the organization as well as helping to retain current employees to assist with the company's productivity. Previously, this organization had failed in its pursuit to keep its employees and to offer competitive packages to the same workers.
Where competitive packages lack especially in an organization, there is possibly a lack of employees’ motivation towards performing their jobs. Lack of motivation in a firm is unhealthy since it hampers the company from achieving its desired goals due to low or no productivity at all (Kloppenborg et al., 2014). A compensation and benefits package include the combination of rewards which are given to the employees by a company to boost their trust and hope in the firm and to increase their job-related functions and quality of production within the organization. As the head of human resource management, construction of a project charter is of greatest importance in restructuring the previously ineffective compensation and benefits package in this company.
A project charter will serve as an informal contact tool linking the project sponsors to the project team which is involved in the implementation of the actual project. The project charter, in this case, will, therefore, make sure that the resulting plan is competitive and successful (Marnewick, 2018). It will define the types of requirements which should be accomplished and make a decision on how the project will be carried out right from the beginning to the end. Moreover, the charter will issue the organization with an understanding commitment as well as authorization. To strengthen the package which was previously used by this company, the table below is used as the most appropriate charter.

Initiation Phase
Business Case
At J. Smith & Associates, it has been realised that the furniture currently being used by the organization were outdated and needed urgent re-designing. This called for the initiation of the project that could help with designing the organization’s furniture from the office chairs, the cabinets and the file storages systems, the office desks and the customer care desks. This was with an aim of improving the experience of the directors and employees of the organization whenever they are at the work place. Further, ensuring customer satisfaction was a factor that was closely considered when settling for this project’s approval.
Feasibility Study
The project has been approved and is expected to cost USD50,000 which is equivalent to the amount that the organization have been losing on an annual basis because of lack of customer retention and loss of morale by the employees. Once the project .

Initiation Phase
Business Case
At J. Smith & Associates, it has been realised that the furniture currently being used by the organization were outdated and needed urgent re-designing. This called for the initiation of the project that could help with designing the organization’s furniture from the office chairs, the cabinets and the file storages systems, the office desks and the customer care desks. This was with an aim of improving the experience of the directors and employees of the organization whenever they are at the work place. Further, ensuring customer satisfaction was a factor that was closely considered when settling for this project’s approval.
Feasibility Study
The project has been approved and is expected to cost USD50,000 which is equivalent to the amount that the organization have been losing on an annual basis because of lack of customer retention and loss of morale by the employees. Once the project .

Part I: Topic
The topic concerns customer care in various organizations. The concept of the project involves the development of a DFJ customer care software that will help in ensuring that customers care is provided in the most satisfying way (Behera & Bala, 2021). The primary idea is to create an effective software that will ensure that customers in organizations interact with the management properly and give their feedback without difficulties (Lotz et al, 2018). This will help the organizations in solving disputes involving the customers with ease as well as ensure that the services delivered to the customers are of high quality (Gupta & Mittal, 2021).

Part 1: Cost Management
For the Live the Dream Marvel theme birthday party project we used a bottom-up method of budgeting. To do this we used the work breakdown structure to apply direct and indirect costs to the project activities. We totaled the costs of each activity, work package, and deliverables, and then combined those costs for the overall project budget. This budget method was used because it gives a more accurate cost prediction than the top-down method for this Special birthday party Event Management project.
Original Budgeted Cost
Actual Budgeted Cost
Estimated Labor
$25,000
$11,400
Estimated Materials
$25,000
$15,550
Estimated Vendors

Estimated Equipment
$4,000
$4,000
Estimated Travel
$1,000
$1,000
Total Estimated Cost
$60,000
$44,250
The chart above shows the original budgeted cost in the center column versus the actual budgeted cost, created from the work breakdown structure. The customer will be billed $60,000 for the project and therefore the difference in actual cost and the $60,000 will be the profit. The original budget was $60,000 maximum and the actual budgeted cost of completing the project is $44,250.
Therefore, the projected profit for the company for this job is $15,750. The estimated equipment and travel expenses did not change in these two budgets. However, the Vendor cost are shown to be significantly lower as this only includes the labor for the Catering and Rental Party vendor. However, the Vendors estimate is significantly higher because this item includes the labo.
Here are my responses to the activity questions:
1. The three main types of project management are predictive project management, adaptive project management, and agile project management. Predictive project management uses a planned, rigid methodology like waterfall. Adaptive project management is more flexible and able to adapt to changes. Agile project management focuses on iterative development and frequent delivery of working software or other deliverables.
2. Advanced creative minds of people have led to many innovations that have improved lives and pushed the boundaries of what is possible. Creativity and thinking outside the box allow people to solve problems in new ways.
3. Information technology is highly relevant to project management. Many projects today involve developing software, websites, apps, and

2. TECHLETIC: PROJECT NARRATIVE
Project Charter
The project charter describes in detail the objective(s) of our project. It acts as an
introduction to the project and illustrates its importance and value proposition. It is important
that the project charter explicitly details the nature of the project, a timeline, who will be
involved, and what the product of the project will be at its conclusion.
Techletic is a 2-day event proposal for Chehalem Parks and Recreation. Our event
proposal creates an obstacle course for children ages 6 – 12 to complete. The obstacle course will
consist of a combination of technological puzzles and physical tasks. The purpose of the event
will be to encourage children to develop a healthy balance between using their technological
devices and playing outside. Through the use of digital puzzles and physical objectives,
Techletic will help children participants develop an exciting connection between being active
and playing games. Recently, through the “Let’s Move” initiative of the First Lady Michelle
Obama, schools and other organizations are creating programs to inspire children to be more
active to fight childhood obesity.
Chehalem Parks and Rec will host the event, inviting children from all local cities of
McMinnville, Sherwood, Wilsonville and Salem. Elementary and Middle Schools will be
involved to maximize the potential of attendance by children and their families. During the
summer, Chehalem Parks and Rec hosts a variety of events for the community that families can
participate in. Techletic will take place the first week (Mon/Tues.) of August. The project will be
developed by five project coordinators and executed by Chehalem Parks and Rec. Partnerships
with local businesses will ease the financial burden on Chehalem Parks and Rec.
Critical to Quality Tree
The Critical to Quality Tree helps to obtain a focus on the main objective of our project and the
measurable to quantify those objectives. This deliverable highlights the reason we are striving to
accomplish the project and how it benefits the major players.
It is important for every member of the project team to understand the why and the who.
These two major points are imperative for the project team’s overall understanding. This
document will ensure that we are all on the same page and understand the motivation for the
project.
Our quality driver is to get the participants (kids) outside to play. Keeping kids active and
healthy is the important “Why” for what we are trying to accomplish. This can be measured by
3. TECHLETIC: PROJECT NARRATIVE
many standards and must show how they are quantified. The performance requirement for the
Techletic event for getting kids outside to play is to time the games and obstacle course to ensure
the events last longer than one hour. The next quality driver is to have a fun experience. The
performance requirement for this is to conduct a customer satisfaction survey after the event
concludes. This will highlight any issues or comments that can be used for future events and can
be assessed for the quality of the experience.
The next participant that will be affected by the event is Chehalem Parks and Rec. The
quality driver for a successful event is the safety of all who participate through the performance
requirement of a minimized number of injuries. The next quality driver for Chehalem Parks and
Rec. will be through financial gain of the event. The performance requirement for this driver is to
give back $6,000 upon completion of all expenses and the event concludes.
The final participant to be affected by the event are the sponsors. The quality driver for
the sponsors will be the perception that the community of participants (parents/children) have of
the sponsors who took part in the event and the quality of their contributions. The post-event
customer satisfaction survey will be the performance requirement for assessing the quality and
validity of the sponsors involved.
Work Breakdown Structure
The work breakdown structure is an overview of the tasks that need to be accomplished. In
our project, we have identified four elements in order to successfully execute the project. These
four elements are:
1. Planning: This section includes: develop the budget, secure the dates and locations of the
event, contact sponsors, search for volunteers, etc. This will help our team to get the big
picture of how the event will look and what we need to prepare for the event.
2. Preparation: This section includes: confirm volunteers, sponsors and vendors, advertising,
set up a trial course, check weather and etc. This allows us to make sure that we have
everything we need on site ready for the event.
3. Event Day: During the event, it is critical to ensure the event goes smoothly and ensure
the safety of the kids. The event day also includes tear-down of equipment and clean up
after the event.
4. TECHLETIC: PROJECT NARRATIVE
4. Review: After the event, we will perform a post-event debrief and write an after-action
report, as well as send out surveys to our clients so that we can make improvements in
future events.
Responsibility Matrix
There are many tasks in the project that need to be accomplished in order and on time.
The responsibility matrix can help a team to identify who is responsible for what task and how
they will be supported. The responsibility matrix also tells the team members how their portion
of the project connects with the project as a whole.
There are four sections in our responsibility matrix, as mentioned in our work breakdown
structure. We assigned each team member to be responsible for different tasks and assigned
others as support required, to be notified, to be consulted or approval required to hold each other
accountable, and accomplish the tasks on time and with quality.
Project Network Diagram
The Project Network Diagram helps us see the critical chain of events and supporting
tasks that help guide us through the project requirements. We can see the entire project and how
each task is connected through the chain. As long as we can solidify our tasks and the order/date
of those tasks with relation to our respective end date, we can create an efficient and effective
Project Network Diagram.
Our Project Network Diagram includes every step of the process for the project and the
order in which they are required to be accomplished. Each step of the process incorporates the
dates in which they start, finish, and who is working on that part of the process. This is where all
project team members can easily see the critical chain.
Our critical chain consists of the following tasks: approach Chehalem, budget, evaluate
costs, confirm pricing, search for volunteers/coaches, contact volunteers/coaches, set-up trial
course and tech, contact trainers, confirm vendors, check weather, sign-up booth/liability
waivers/wristband distribution, storage of equipment, tear down of equipment, post-event
debrief, after action report, and customer satisfaction survey.
Project Schedule
The purpose of a project schedule is to help those involved in the project to understand
best start dates, and latest possible start dates in order to reach the end objective on time. This
graphical representation shows the best timeline of the project to reach a specified deadline.
5. TECHLETIC: PROJECT NARRATIVE
In order to determine the timeline of our schedule, it was most important to identify the tasks that
would take the most time, and identify which team members would be best for those tasks in a
manner that would not strain our resources. In addition, it was very important in the process of
planning our schedule to determine a date when this event would be best accessible to our target
age range.
The best possible schedule for our project would be 134 days, with the main two-day
event occurring during a Monday and Tuesday the first week of August. By scheduling the date
within the summer, more kids ages 6-12 will be available to attend the event. Another reason the
event would best in this timeline is that the weather will be warm. To achieve this possible end
date the project would need to start mid-February.
Project Budget
The purpose of the project budget is to help us understand how much money we will be
spending to complete the project from start to finish. The budgeting process will start with our
team creating a list of everything we will need for the project from start to completion. We will
then take this itemized budget to our partner (Chehalem Parks & Rec.) and go over it with them.
This process will involve a give and take the scenario to come up with the final budget. Budgets
are important to every project so that we can utilize every dollar we have available and stay on
track. Every aspect of our project down to the cent will need to be identified before completing
this.
As noted in the budget, the course materials will cost $5000, 5 ladders at $40 each per
day will cost $400, two 7X3 banners at $47.25 each will cost $94.50, 10 Ipad 4’s at $40 each for
the first day and $15 each the second day will cost $550, a Wix website for free,
marketing/advertising materials will cost $1000 (posters and handouts for schools), $250 for
liability insurance with up to a million dollars in liability, tickets and wristbands will cost $200,
and water for the participants will cost $50. In the case of extreme weather, we will need two
10X20 tents at $130 each, and 30 spray-fan-misters at $4 each. If it is raining or above 95
degrees, we will incur the corresponding costs from either option. Through this process, we will
need $7,544.50 and with the extra costs due to weather extremes, it could be as much as
$7804.50 (with rain) or $7664.50 (with extreme heat).
The budgeting process not only helps us figure out how much money we will need to
complete the project, but also how many hours it will take. In the budget, the amount of
6. TECHLETIC: PROJECT NARRATIVE
volunteer and group hours needed for completion are outlined in detail. Our group will average 6
hours a week (5 people total) for 20 weeks which totals to 600 total hours, dry-run set-up day
will require 20 volunteers for 8 hours for a total of 160 hours, the 2-day Techletic event will
require 40 volunteers for 8 hours each for a total of 640 hours, building the website will take 15
total hours, the marketing/advertising materials and promotion will require a total of 60 hours
across the 20 weeks, and we will also need emergency response and police volunteers for a total
of 32 hours. Through this process, we will need 1507 total hours.
Risk Management Plan
The risk management plan will be imperative to the success of our project. This
document includes risk assessment of our entire plan. It identifies what risks are possible through
our process, the different impacts of each risk, and plans to combat these potential risks. By
identifying risks before they happen, it ensures that we will be able to act proactively instead of
reactively.
The risk management plan highlights seven key areas of the Techletic event that have the
most potential to create problems. The seven key areas are as follows: Lack of sponsor interest,
weather, lack of public interest (minimal number of participants), lack of volunteer participation,
Logistics/course set-up, competing for events, and children safety.
We see the highest amount of risk coming from lack of sponsor interest and lack of
public interest. We plan to combat the first issue by communicating early and often with the
potential sponsors, and by pitching the event in a way that shows its true value to them, the
participants, as well as the community. The second issue we will address by making a website
specifically for the event, reaching out to schools, and explaining the importance to the parents
as to why Techletic is such a special event for their child/children.
