Note: The following is entirely hypothetical. It is not actually happening, but you are
required to prepare some documentation as if it were a real project.
QA Higher Education (QAHE) has just completed a refurbishment of its teaching rooms and computing labs in
the London (London students), Birmingham (Birmingham students) and Manchester (Manchester students)
premises, to ensure students and staff all have an excellent learning environment and access to the latest
technology to support their studies and teaching.
The university wishes to have a major launch event to publicise this (it may help attract students and make the
university more competitive) and to celebrate the success of the project. You are the project manager for this
event, scheduled to take place during Freshers’ Week in September. You will need to plan this event
carefully, ensuring that it is scheduled correctly within the calendar of events and includes formal ceremony,
informal opportunity for staff and students to get tours of the building, celebratory elements including food
and drink, invitations to local/national dignitaries (remember who opened the building originally!), etc.
The main project sponsor is the Managing Director, represented on the project by the Director of Operations.
