1. Executive Summary
The project plan is for the the forth coming Common wealth games scheduled to be held during the months of July August in 2014, in Glasgow. The official handing over will take place on the 14th of October 2010,when Delhi in India will handover officially to the city of Glasgow in Scotland, thus appointing Scotland as the Host country for the 2014 Common Wealth Games. It is to be noted that this event “will be the largest multisport event ever to be held in Scotland”
Thus this report includes only of the opening ceremony’s Schedule plan, resource allocation and the cost to be effect.
2. Project Introduction & scope
The recent growth of multi sports as an industry around the world means that the management can no longer be commercials. Events such as the commonwealth games, have a large impact on their communities and, in some cases, the whole country. Thus it is a must to keep in mind throughout the planning process that this is the first time the country is hosting such and event and it shall have an impact to the country.
This is a service based scheduling project according to that the initial concern which I will propose will have the following scope which is needed to be completed to be successful in this event’s opening ceremony.
Events
Prepare the Events list
Find the Human resource by events
Find the Items the need in each resource (Dress, Transport and etc..)
Analyze the risk and exciting of event with professionals

3. Objective
To find all resource on time:
Accurate time estimation is vital in project management. The two main reasons for estimating time is vital as: Time estimates drive the setting of dead lines for delivery of project and also the determination of pricing of projects and its profitability can be estimated.
Thus finding all resources on time is very essential to carry on the project without delay as timing is important in an event like this as it has international criticism later on.
To allocate funds according to budget
Allocation of funds according to budget is a vital aspect, as it is an important tool needed in running a business in a proper manner. The allocation of funds should be done in such away that each responsible person can run the area smoothly without any interruption.
To schedule all ceremony event on time without any delay
Scheduling all events without a delay is very important as any delay occurring can cause disruption and run to high criticism. Prior to the main event rehersaling of the event should be done. When the rehersaling is done each aspect should be rehearsed without leaving out any event. Thus the above could be avoided.
Reduce events errors
Facilitate all participant to good service
A specialized committee should be allocated the above task, of looking into the needs of the participants and giving them the best service. It is a must to keep in mind this is the event of the participants rather than the spectators. Allocation of physical force is a must to keep the reduction of the above.

5.1 financial requirement analyses
5.1.1 Budget for the opening ceremony
Overall opening ceremony should be allocated in 800 million. In Glasgow 2014 Common wealth Games committee, (Reference in: organization committee Budget allocation document)
According to allocated overall budget allocation in 800 Million we will propose our proposal profitability of our plan would be quite satisfactory.
5.2.1 Variable cost breakdown and overall total
This allocated budget should be dividing via the major Task event wise. This variable cost breakdown is based on the already allocated budget.
Here is the variable cost breakdown:

Analyzing of the cost estimation:
Here graph is explained all the variance in allocated cost and actual cost variance.
1 .Staff cost is fixed as I will explain it further in the organizational chart how the staff should be allocated in the project. After analyze I will fix the cost.
2. Event cost is variance because some creative events, equipments and rehearsal cost should vary, that the main reason to increase an additional 50 for it.
3 Media cost should be fixed. There should not be any risk for it
4. Security, food and transport cost should add some additions .because these are depended on the guest and humans to be involved their activities.
Finally analyse all the expenditure additionally allocate a 120 Million for the risk factor wise.
This should be variance cost for this.
5.1.3 Revenue breakdown and overall total
Since the ceremony revenue is coming in as fallowing category based.
Ticketing
Suwannee’s and & Advertisement
Ground banners and Advertisement
Sponsors
Additionally in country has non profitable benefits on tourism.
Total estimation is all the earnings should be 130 Million.
Finally revenue should be in 175 Million.
5.2 physical requirement analyses
Physical resources Allocation:
Location & its resource
Allocation of resources will be predicted according to the requirements. Initially we analyze the location and its requirement. Location already decides and its resource should be available. Only need to identify repair and reconstruction points of it. After initial assessment all the reconstruct part and modification done by government .that mean I am not going to put its cost and allocation, Because it’s up to commonwealth standard achieving through the under supervisor on government and Olympic committee.

And other thing in Resource evaluation and physical resource allocation we get finish mid of September. Lighting, music, ground setup, activity basic set up. That is very impotent to reduce the Technical risk and the man power risk and also can mitigate the Disaster recovery in the ceremony time.
