Detailed Brief for Team Assessment

Assignment Title: Transforming the Howard Centre: Sustainable Urban Renewal in Welwyn Garden City

Project scenario: 

YOU MUST USE THE ACCOMPANYING PROJECT SCENARIO DOCUMENT. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR WORK IS TAILORED TO THIS PROJECT. (It is the same scenario as CW1)

This assignment builds directly on your previous work in CW1. To show your understanding of key project management planning techniques, you will work in a team of 3 or 4 students to create a Project Initiation Document (PID) in report format.

Allocation to a team will be clearly advised by the module tutor.  You should contact the module leader if you have any queries with this process (please wait until the module has started).  

Welwyn Garden City (WGC) Council has hired Vision (your project-based employer) to refurbish the Howard Shopping Centre. Your team has been asked to propose an idea for one unit in Phase 2 of the project.

· Phase 2 Focus: Transform. selected units into community spaces.

· Your Team’s Task: Choose one unit and plan its refurbishment.

· Project Timeline:

o Start Date: 1st April 2026

o End Date: 31st July 2026

o Duration: 18 weeks

o Launch Date: 1st August 2026 (in time for summer holidays and before new residents move in during Autumn 2026)

Your team should come up with a community-focused concept for the unit. It must be:

· Legal

· Suitable for regular use

· Appealing to a segment of the community

Examples could include:

· Music, Art, Entertainment, Sport, fitness, or dance, Food and drink etc.

You can tailor your idea to a specific group (e.g., young people, families, older adults), but make sure the space will be used consistently.

Please do NOT contact the Howard Shopping Centre, as although the project scenario is authentic, based on other real UK examples, the choice of shopping centre is a fictional example selected for your university assessment

What do I need to do?

Use of Generative AI is permitted as part of an activity to help your team with ideas for a community idea and one section below (Work Breakdown Structure), where it’s use is clearly indicated. Otherwise, you need to complete the work independently and without use of AI.

The Project Initiation Document (PID) – key elements: 

· Title Page

· Contents page

· Introduction to include unit design idea

· Project Objectives

· Constraints of the project

· Assumptions made.

· Layout plan (a sketch the facilities, outside & inside views)

· Brief description of venue to explain plans drawn.

· Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
The WBS development can be enhanced by utilising Copilot. The module tutor will provide some guidance.

· Scope (Summary of the main headings of the WBS)

· Precedence table (with resource column)

· Network diagram including PERT.

· Roles and responsibilities

· RACI matrix

· Budget for project (your team is to determine this)

· Appendix containing a teamwork log. 

Other essential project information

· Your unit will be empty of fixtures and fittings and has been stripped back to bare walls.

· The dimensions of your unit: length 15m, width 15m, height 4m

· There is already full height glazing on one side and an entrance door.

· It will a supply of have both electricity and water.

· Consider provision of up-to-date technology e.g. super-fast fibre ethernet and technology if you need it for bookings, other business use etc.

· You should also pay attention to boarding & plastering the walls and providing suitable hard wearing flooring before you consider the fittings, fixtures, decorating and furniture needed for your community idea.

· You may need the construction of some internal walls depending on your community idea. For example: small reception/office area, changing areas etc

· You will need to plan for activities to source and obtain quotations from suppliers and contractors.  

· Cleaning and testing of the venue will be needed before it is signed off and handed over to the operations team.

· To meet sustainable goals/legislation, consider aspects such as water use.  For example, you may wish to consider small trees/plants/living wall within your unit to enhance air quality & well-being

· Pay attention to provision to meet Accessibility legislation

· The council have secured funding they believe to be sufficient and as a project team you will be required to plan a likely budget for the work to get your unit ready.

· It is NOT the responsibility of the project team to look for any further loans or investors.

· External contractor day rate is £275 per contractor.

· Internal project team member day rate is £150 per team member.

· You will need to keep your manager at Vision informed of progress

Please note that you are NOT responsible for operational concerns such as recruiting staff, or for the marketing pre-launch.  These activities are OUT of your project scope
