PROJECT SCOPE AND TIME ASSEWSEMNT 1 PROKECT MANAGEMENT PLAN <BIO-GEL ENTERPRISE > COMPANY NAME LIME COMPANY LIMITED DATE 1.INTRODUCTION This project entails production of fuel from biological waste products majorly from peels of fruits, such as lemon, bananas and eggshells and potentially turning them into fuel and the remain waste making use of them by developing fertilizers. It will have a significant impact in waste management in urban centres and help in decreasing carbon emission from decomposing of these biological wastes from their dumping sites. The biogel product will be a very cheap alternative source of energy that is environmental friendly with 10 folds abilities to solve garbage management and carbon emission from fuel and biological wastes in developing countries such as sub-Saharan Africa and south East Asia that majorly depends on traditional methods of energy such as oil and firewood’s that have significant environmental repercussion. The projected is expected to fully complete by the end of this year. A scope management plan is an outline of what the project intends to do; it’s like a guideline of the project activities and helps to ensure that the project remains within the initial plan.
2. SCOPE MANAGEMENT APPROACH S COPE M ANAGEMENT A PPROACH The biogel project activities will be presided over by the project manager who will be responsible for daily monitoring and provision of leadership of the project. The scope statement, work breakdown structure dictionary and the work breakdown structure will define the scope of activities for this project. It will be responsibility of multi-disciplinary team consisting of the project sponsor, project manager and other partners to evaluate and approve any form of documentation required for assessing the scope of the project activities such as checklist of items to be measured, key deliverables of the project and key performance indicators assessment. in case of any amendments to the scope, the project team. the proposed changes from the management team must be submitted to the project manager, who will review the suggested changes to the scope before giving an okay to the implementation. Once the project manager has reviewed the proposed amendments to the scope of the projected and satisfied beyond doubts that the changes in question are attainable, the project manager will then submit the proposed amendments to the project Change Control Board and eventually to the project donors for adoption. Once the proposed amendments are approved by the project change control board and the project donors, the project leader will then draft and update all the new changes in all official documents of the project and make communication regarding change of the project scope to all stakeholders of the project. The project donor will then evaluate all inputs and feedbacks from the team and stakeholders before accepting the project scope and deliverables. Figure 1.01

Implement the adopted changes in the scope. 4. SCOPE DESCRIPTION The project scope for this business was arrived at after thorough collection of essential elements of the project. The initial stage in collection of this facts was through conducting analysis on the current menace caused by biological waste in the dumping sites, the environmental impact and how these challenges can be turned into a fortune to the society in terms of improving livelihoods across cities and the environmental impact it will have to the community at large, firsthand information was collected from a survey conducted to the communities living near the dumping sites and how they are coping with the challenge of the biological waste, a sample of the waste was taken to biotechnology laboratory where different tastes were run on different biological waste. The findings of these tests prompted the project team to draft a project documentation requirement, management requirement plan and development of the project production model. The project deliverables and definitions were harmonized from the requirement collection process data, health and hazard analysis data and biotechnological findings from the laboratory on components of different biological waste products and reports from the challenges the community around the dumping sites encounters on daily basis. The laboratory analysis of these biological waste materials and how the hazardous components emitted from these wastes can be turned into a fortune and solution to the environmental pollution was groundbreaking. The new findings of the bio-fuel generated from these biological waste has potential to reduce carbon emission in the environment by 90% compared to the traditional mode of energy from oil and fire woods and sustainable waste management chain in the dumping sites.
5. BOUNDARIES AND EXCLUSIONS This project entails collection and utilization of biological waste products from egg shells, fruit peels for oranges, bananas, pawpaw’s and vegetables wastes, fermenting them and collecting methanol and ethanol gels from them and refining them to produce a gel fuel that is smoke free. The project only incorporates biological wastes within the communities in the dumping sites, or locally available biological waste raw materials, the project operations are only limited within Australian boundaries . No additives with potential health effects will be added, raw materials outside our area of operations will not be accepted as our project is purely reduction in carbon emission and promoting safe and healthier environment across our cities. The hypothesis of this project is that there will be full support from the project management team, stakeholders like the community around and the project sponsors who will provide necessary technical and financial support for successful running of our operations until we accomplish our objectives. The most likely challenge we may encounter is inadequate funding to oversee the technical operations, how to maneuver around the political interests from the ruling class for their political ambitions and the procedures to patent our innovation and market our products not only here in Australia but across Sub- Saharan Africa and Middle East where environmental challenge caused by the biological wastes from the dumping sites is despicable. 6.DELIVERABLES The BIO-GEL project intends to produce bio-fuel from biological waste products that will have the following significant milestones to the community: Bio-fuel with low carbon emission The alkanol fuel will reduce carbon emission from biological wastes by 90% The bio oils with mosquito repellant abilities Hand sanitizer Biological oil ( anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties) The bio-fuel will have abilities to refresh the household environment. Manufacture of organic fertilizer from the organic waste of the bio-gel processing. Sustainable alternative cheap source of energy Sustainable waste management
7.ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The minimum thresholds that must be attained for the product to be accepted includes the following; Bio-gel fuel must have less than 10% carbon emission to the environment. The bio-gel fuel must be made from locally available raw materials. The Bio-gel must be produced from biological waste product. Bio-gel must meet the minimum threshold of sustainable energy regulation of the international environmental agencies. Must have direct impact benefit in controlling biological waste menace at the dumping site at the same time improve livelihoods of locals. Must be financial friendly to run The bio-fuel must not be expensive to buy. Bio-fuel must be sustainable. 8. CONSTRAINTS KE - factors likely to impact the project scope The shortcomings these project may face includes:’ Lack of political goodwill to support the project. Financial constraints in purchasing and installation of the machines. Lack of resources to set the plant. Lack of adequate advocacy and awareness campaigns on the importance of bio-gel fuel. Marketing strategies Industrial labour laws and acquisition of patent rights. Staff motivation. Further research needed on new products. KE - problem areas likely to be encountered in scope management The most likely challenge we may encounter is inadequate funding to oversee the technical operations, how to maneuver around the political interests from the ruling class for their political ambitions and the procedures to patent our innovation and market our products not only here in Australia but across Sub-Saharan Africa and

Middle East where environmental challenge caused by the biological wastes from the dumping sites is despicable. PC2 1 Identify and negotiate pr oject boundaries with r elevant stakeholders The Bio-gel production plant will only deal with collection of biological waste remains of fruits, vegetables and egg shells as the main raw material for production, these raw materials must be collected within the community or cities of our operations within Australian boundaries. Once the Bio-gel fuel and other products such as bio-oils and organic fertilizers are produced, they will be sold back to the community at a very small and affordable fee to help improve the livelihoods of the community within the operation. However, the Bio-gel plant will not accept raw materials from outside our areas of operations. our operations are currently limited in Australian boundaries. 9. COST ESTIMATE Expense Estimated Budget Installation of machines. $ 189000 Transport logistics. $50000 Employee wages. p.a $150000 Training. $50000 Construction of the housing plant. $ 120000 biotechnology laboratory services and equipment $ 100000 Total $ 609000
10. CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS Change control id a methodology used to manage change requests for projects and big initiatives globally. Change control entails the following steps. Change request initiation Here a change is made from the project stakeholders e.g. to improve efficiency in production unit due to periodic delays , the proposed changes are then filled on a request form by the team member who further updates the information in the change log with specific information regarding the proposed change and submit the change to the project manager. Change request assessment Once the proposed amendments have been filled out in the official documents and submitted and approved by the management, the proposed request will be reviewed by the project manager and change control team. if the changes proposed are valid, it will then move to the net stage which is analysis Change request analysis Here the proposed change will be evaluated with a team of expert who will give a final verdict of whether to approve or reject the proposed change. Change request implementation Once the proposed change has been reviewed and approved, the change process moves to the implementation stage of the proposed amendments. Information regarding the change will then be send to the project sponsor for approval. Once the change has been approved, the project manager will then document and communicate the change to the team. Change request closure After change documentation, communication and dissemination and implementation, the request will be closed
