Due to a pandemic, the local government has had to make the radical decision tocut the budget of all projectsby 25%!

However, the council still wants you to deliver the project according to the original scope. As the project manager, you need to negotiate with the council to reduce the size of the budget cut and on the flip side, you need to negotiate with your team to get "more out of them" for the same salary.

• Use 'Wants & Needs' template to negotiate the budget cut.
• Use 'Wants & Needs' template to negotiate with your team.
• Capture all changes in a Change Request template

Your key external stakeholders have heard rumours that the Community Vegetable Garden project is going to be abandoned. The only way you can quash these rumours is through regular and open communication with all stakeholders for this you need to have a communication plan.

You have been asked by the project sponsor to:

• A Stakeholder Communication Plan

Finally, these changes have potentially exposed you to new risks. The project sponsor wants to be sure you recognise these risks and can mitigate them, so you have been asked to submit:

• A new Risk Assessment Matrix or Risk Management Plan
• A Roles & Responsibility Plan
