Task 1: Project
Management
A1.
For the project initiation, the business will need to develop a plan and figure out
which steps can be taken, and which people will be involved and committed to
the project. The project idea is to create a catering service for clients that are
within 25 miles of the market. This project will be implemented to celebrate the
markets upcoming 10-year anniversary. Being that there are some customers in
the area have been seeking local vendors for organically, and locally sourced
food. The plan is to start the catering business in 30 days to address this issue.
A1B.
• Stakeholder 1: Customers are the first stakeholder in this scenario. In this
scenario, customers must be within 25 miles from the market for them to
be eligible for the delivery service that the company is offering. The idea is
that delivery will happen within 1 hour if you are within 25 miles from the
market. Any customers that would like to receive this service that isn’t
within the allotted area would not be eligible for this
service.
• Stakeholder 2: Suppliers are another stakeholder in this scenario. The
supplier in this scenario states that the lettuce needed for the lunch salads
will not be readily available for the catering lunch plan. If the suppliers do
not deliver the organic produce, the catering business will be in an ethical
dilemma to use nonorganic lettuce for the catering menu. The company
using nonorganic produce would not be good for the company
because the company’s plan was to use organic and fresh catering
ingredients. If the suppliers cannot deliver the organic lettuce, the
suppliers may not get paid, and the company may not be able to reach
their goal.
• Stakeholder 3: Another stakeholder in this scenario is employees. The
employees also known as the catering staff, only have two weeks to
calculate all relevant costs of the lunch, as well as review tasks that need
to be completed before the launch of the business and assess the overall
impact of catering on in store retail operations. The changes that are
happening in the business will impact employees because they must
gather the information needed before the launch, and with changes
constantly happening, making it harder for the information to be accurate
