IMPLEMENT ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS
UTILIZE PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILLS
MULTI-STAGE TOURNAMENTS
• When establishing playing schedules, tournament organizers must
consider many factors, such as the type of tournament. This is
because in some types, several games are played simultaneously in
different locations over a long period.
• A multistage tournament is a format in which teams compete at
different levels or stages. When a team wins, it moves forward to
play another game against another opponent. If a team loses, it is
ELIMINATED AND NO LONGER PLAYS. The stages of play continue
until a champion is determined. For example, high school teams
compete in their conference and the winner of the conference
advances to the next level of competition which more than likely
will be the state level of competition.
•
A heat is a round of a competition, such as swim meets.
ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENTS
• A tournament, as in a competitive game or
sport, in which each player plays against every
other player. Losing against a competitor does
not result in elimination. Play continues until
each participant has played all participants.
The winner is determined by who won the
most games.
PRODUCTION SCHEDULES
• Production schedules are timetables that establish when
each activity will be performed. Before an event can take
place, a variety of activities need to be completed to
prepare the site or facility.
• For example, lighting or additional phone lines might need
to be installed, or concession stands might need to be
stocked.
• Event organizers plan for when each activity should occur
and prepare the schedule to make sure the facility is ready
for the event to begin. Setting a time for a rehearsal might
be part of the production schedule.
CHANGE
• Change is something that occurs constantly and usually
without warning. When developing a project plan, a
business should always provide for change because it is
inevitable that something will change.
• For example, a customer may add a new requirement
or need a larger quantity. Being prepared to deal with
any changes that may take place during the course of
the project will help to make the project successful.
Businesses don't provide for publicity unless the
project is unique and of interest to the public.
PROJECT PLAN
• A true statement about project planning is that you can
mentally walk through your project from start to
finish—in a make-believe way. In your mind, you see
each part of the project. Sometimes, it is helpful to
develop a custom-made plan for your project,
especially if it is a one-time event.
• Project planning does NOT help you evaluate what you
have accomplished because, during the planning stage,
you haven't accomplished it yet.
ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES
Knowing exactly what it is you want to do
helps you achieve your objectives.
Unfortunately, it does not help you spend less
money because—by detailing what you want
to do—you might discover that your project
will be more expensive than you realize.
MAINTAINING QUALITY LEVELS
• It's important to think ahead about how you
will monitor your project so that you will know
how you will keep the quality level, the
schedule, and the budget intact. Monitoring
occurs during project management.
• Thinking ahead about how you will monitor
your project does NOT guarantee the
availability of needed resources.
