Project Title: Building and opening a new Toy4All store
Project Description: Toy4All toy store chain wants to open a new store in a small
town. For this project, the Director of the Projects Department assigned Mr. Play as
the project manager, an employee with 5 years of service in the company. He will
have to plan and coordinate all activities related to the new store’s opening, which,
unlike other existing stores, will be equipped with a children’s playground. He will
need to consider the activities: building the store, setting up the interior and the
exterior, supplying the store with toys, defining the personnel structure, and
preparing the store for the opening. Also, the details regarding advertising must not
be forgotten. The project duration is 1 year and will end with an opening event.
Due to the professionalism proven when building previous stores, the company
decided to work with the same building contractor (for the construction phase). By
now, all licenses and permits required to start the work have been obtained.

The role of Mr. Play will not be easy. He was assigned due to his idea to include a
playground in the store, which should lead to increased sales figures once applied.
While the entire management has supported the idea, several heads of departments
in the organization were not very pleased by his assignment, considering him too
young and inexperienced for such a project. The most serious concerns are related to
the project’s impact on the already planned activities that will support sales in the
holiday season.
