Project: COLORADO SPRINGS WELCOME HOME PARADE
Date _6th January 2004
Scope Overview
This project's main scope is to plan a historic welcome parade for the troops returning from Iraq. The event is intended to honor about 11000 soldiers of the US army and air force for their brave win in the war. They had been out of the country on year-long rotations and were to return in March 2004. The event was scheduled for the 5th of June. The project leader was O'Donnel LLP. The project management team faced different problems, including limited time and lack of funds.
Business Case
This project's primary objective is to organize a historical parade to celebrate these soldiers' dedication to the fight. The community's participation in this event is a good chance to show support to the men and women who fought bravely under dangerous circumstances in the Iraq war. In addition to honoring the soldiers for their and unconditional loyalty to their motherland, the parade will also pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the line of duty (Kloppenborg, T. J. 2013). The business case of this occasion is ensuring that the project is completed successfully within the planned time frame and the set budget.
Background
