Project scenario - Get fit with football!
(Note: The companies and people within the scenario are fictional)
Introduction
A Local Government Authority (LGA) has decided to organize a six-a-side football tournament. The tournament will contribute towards achieving the targets set by a national initiative to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16. As part of the LGA's policy of self-funding, this has to be achieved at zero cost to the LGA (and therefore the local tax payer). The cost of the event will be covered through fees paid by teams registered to take part in the tournament, sponsorship and monies raised during the day. Any surplus would be used for the maintenance of local sports centres.
Teams can register under one of several age groups for both boys and girls. In addition, family members are asked to attend to provide support.
This sports event is designed to be a family day out. The football tournament will have an event village including a kidz'-zone, catering, car parking, mobile changing rooms and toilets. The tournament will take place on the LGA-owned football pitches near the centre of the town, although space is somewhat limited.
Scope
The initial scope of the project includes:
The project has been set up with four work streams to deliver this work:
1. Marketing
2. Website
3. Event Village
4. Staff Training
Project Background
The LGA have extensive experience in using PRINCE2 and will run the event as a single project. The project manager is fully conversant with PRINCE2 Agile. One office in the LGA building in the centre of town has been given to the project for the entire duration. The office is across the corridor from the Marketing Department and the project manager has already put a sign on the door that says 'Mission Control'.
Timeline
An initial timeline has been suggested and is shown in the following diagram. The timeline may evolve due to the agile ways of working. The timeline shows how work streams are broken down into work packages and/or timeboxes.
Website - Additional information
A new website will be built for the event. There are five work packages within this product:
1. Initial homepage:
2. Team Registration functionality:
3. Social media promoting the event and its aims.
4. Applications (apps) to promote healthy lifestyles including fitness and healthy eating apps.
5. Health Park:
The Website Team have a lot of experience in IT and have been using agile for several years. They are delivering the website through five two-week timeboxes. The team uses a Scrum Master to facilitate and the Scrum process and coach people accordingly.
The Website Team are very good at Scrum. They have created a set of tasks to assess more difficult work and they refer to this as sprint zero.
Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:
The project manager is creating the stage plan for Stage 3. The project manager is trying to incorporate the Team Registration work package into the stage plan.
How should the stage plan be produced?
Utilizing the velocity from the previous stage provides a data-driven basis for estimating how much work can be accomplished in the upcoming stage. Collaborating with the Scrum Master and team members ensures that the plan is realistic and aligns with the team's capabilities, facilitating effective planning and execution of the Team Registration work package.

Event Village - Additional information
The aim of the event village is to provide a range of services and activities for anyone attending the football tournament.
The event village will comprise a number of work packages:
1. Event village design
2. A 'kids-zone' which includes trampolines and swings, as well as the opportunity to try out other sporting activities
3. Stalls which will be sold to local businesses to raise funds for the event:
4. A car park for 200 cars.
5. Temporary facilities including changing rooms, toilets and shower facilities.
6. Dismantling of the event village and clean up.
The Event Village Team is assembled using staff from various LGA departments who have no experience of working with agile.
Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
Just before the event the team finds out that a major football match is taking place during the tournament and that many people will want to see it. One solution is to hire a large TV screen to display the game in the Event Village. However, the biggest concern is that the cheapest supplier has many mandatory requirements for access, technical elements and work conditions in their contract.
If the agile environment for the project was reassessed, should the 'Advantageous Environmental Conditions' slider on the Agilometer be increased?
If the supplier has many mandatory requirements for access, technical elements, and work conditions that may hinder flexibility and responsiveness, it suggests that the conditions are not conducive to an agile environment. This lack of support for agile principles would warrant a reduction in the 'Advantageous Environmental Conditions' slider on the Agilometer.

Using the Project Scenario and Website Additional information, answer the following question:
During the Apps and Social Media timebox in Stage 4, the LGA made a request for the customer subject matter expert to be allowed to return to operational work, in order to resolve an urgent problem. This request was successfully resisted by the executive.
At the subsequent retrospective, the following observation was made:
'The stability of the Website Team during the sprint contributed to delivery of all Must Haves and 3 out of the 4 Should Haves.'
How should this observation be captured?
The lessons log is a place to capture insights and reflections from retrospectives, making it accessible for the team to review and learn from past experiences. Documenting this observation there emphasizes the importance of team stability for successful delivery and can inform future practices and decisions.

Marketing - Additional information
The marketing campaign has two key areas to promote:
1. The event itself including the football tournament, event village and fundraising activities.
2. The LGA's long term aim to improve the fitness of children under the age of 16.
The Marketing Team has received some initial Scrum training but is unsure how it can be applied to their marketing work.
The Marketing Team is keen that the project manager provides them with a clear brief for the campaign before they spend too much time on it.
They have experience of working with a variety of marketing channels, although they are not sure which channel(s) will work most effectively to promote this type of event, and in particular to promote the LGA's longer term health aims.
The Marketing Team is not clear on the priority to assign to the two aims for the event.
The Marketing Team will publish advertisements and/or promotional material every week, with more information in each issue to keep the message up to date.
Nine releases are scheduled at the end of each of the nine week-long timeboxes.
The nine timeboxes within the marketing work stream are scheduled to include:
Using the Project Scenario and Marketing Additional information, answer the following question:
Many Marketing Team members were expressing frustration that some members of the team had worked only on specific products and had not helped in the delivery of others. Therefore, the Marketing Team produced a Glad! Sad! Mad! board during a recent retrospective.
Which statement explains why this approach to identifying issues is appropriate for the 'controlling a stage' process?
The Glad! Sad! Mad! board allows team members to express their feelings about their experiences during the stage, helping to surface issues and areas for improvement. This emotional feedback can be crucial in identifying specific challenges within the team dynamics and product delivery, facilitating better control and adjustments for future stages.

The Event Village Team is assembled using staff from various LGA departments who have no experience of working with agile.
Using the Project Scenario and Event Village Additional information, answer the following question:
The typical approach to planning taken by the Event Village team is for the plans to be developed by the project manager and the Event Village team manager, and then presented to the team.
Which setting on the Agilometer is the MOST appropriate to reflect this approach?
Since the planning is primarily developed by the project manager and the Event Village team manager and then presented to the team, it indicates a lack of full team involvement in the planning process. This approach suggests that the acceptance and understanding of agile principles within the team could be improved, warranting a Low/Medium rating for 'acceptance of agile.'
