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.

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?

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:
For which marketing product would a quality method of automated test-driven development be MOST suited?
Which is consistent with the eight guidance points of PRINCE2 Agile?

Staff Training - Additional information
The event will be supervised primarily by LGA staff volunteers. They will need to be trained in various skills so that:
A . the event is carried out safely and professionally;
B . staff members are able to give advice on health and fitness.
This is covered by four work packages:
1. Training syllabus:
* High-level design of the manual.
* Content of each module.
2. Course content for safety and professionalism:
* Detailed design of two modules:
* Health and Safety including basic first aid.
* Customer relations to look after people attending the event.
* Piloting the modules with a group of volunteers.
3. Course content tor giving advice on health and fitness:
* Detailed design of two modules:
* Exercise fundamentals including how to warm up and cool down.
* Healthy eating including what types of food are good for you.
* Piloting the modules with a group of volunteers.
4. Training delivery:
* Production of the training manual;
* Delivery of the training to the rest of the volunteers.
The Staff Training Team is staffed by in-house training staff members that have been involved in several waterfall projects but have not had any exposure to agile.
Using the Project Scenario and Staff Training Additional information, answer the following question:
The Staff Training Team have developed the following user story:
'As the LGA, I want all volunteers to have received mandatory health and safety training so that we can ensure that the event takes place in a safe environment for the public.'
Which reason explains why the team should deliver the user story in accordance with the 'be on time and hit deadlines' target?
Which is a benefit that can be realized by a PRINCE2 organization seeking to adopt PRINCE2 Agile?
