Assume that you are the Special Projects Manager. For this assignment, you are required to develop a Project Plan along with a suitable Project Budget. The PS would like the project to start on 1 Mar 2023. He would also like the project manager to propose a suitable budget. He hopes that the project can be completed before 5 July 2024 as the minister will be available to officiate the launch event. In addition to hardware-related costs, the PS is prepared to approve a budget of $15,000 for the launch event and $30,000 for the communications plan. All project costs will be task-based and prorated unless otherwise stated. The work done by internal project team members will not be charged. Assume that you are the Special Projects Manager.

Note that PAB Phase 1 project hours are based on a 5-day work week. Public Holidays are based on Singapore holidays as mandated by the Ministry of Manpower. There is no work on public holidays. And if a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is deemed to be a public holiday. As per current labour laws, there is no make-up for public holidays falling on a Saturday. Formulate the project goals in terms of work scope, time and cost. Describe the possible tradeoffs between any two (2) of these goals in the case study. Identify one (1) external stakeholder not involved in executing the project and describe how your project team may cater to the needs and interests of this stakeholder.
