Introduction
The project management report is written for AIBI International that will be launching a fund-raising event for a charity named Singapore Women’s Association. AIBI International is an organization that primarily works in the area of healthcare. The organizations functions in the area of production and distribution of health & fitness and beauty products. The fund-raising event will be launched for the charity in order to improve the health conditions of the underprivileged section of the society.
Purpose of the Report
Project Management is a necessary discipline that needs to be adequately used and applied so that the project goals can be achieved. There are various areas that come under the domain of project management. The report covers four primary areas as project scope, project schedule & budget, project resources, and project communications. All of these four areas need to be adequately planned and managed so that the project objectives can be met.
Project Scope
There will be several activities that will be covered by the project team members. The project will be carried out in several steps/phases. The first phase will be the initiation and planning phase. The scope of this phase will include conduction of a kick-off meeting among all the members of the project team. The other activities under this phase will be determination of event feasibility – Environmental, Economic, Operational, Social aspects, planning & estimations – event core team, allocation of responsibilities, budget, schedule, communication planning, and risks assessment process. It will be essential to plan the event venue and book the same for the event. The second phase will include the activities as Listing of the Venues, Availability Checks on the Venues Listed, and Finalization on the Venue, Negotiation on Pricing, Booking of the Venue, and Communication on the Venue Booking under the scope. Attendees, food, and beverage management will be the third phase and it will cover the activities as Preparation of the List of Attendees to be Invited, Distribution of Invitation Cards, Distribution of Invitation Cards, Listing of Caterers, Availability Checks on the selected caterers, and Booking of the Caterers (Wearne, 2014). Event organization activities will be done in the fourth phase with activities as Preparation of programs in the fund raising event, Selection of orators, Scheduling of the programs, and Inclusion of entertainment activities. The fifth phase will include Ticket selling on web portals and offline locations, Promotion of the event on social media channels, Promotion of the event on tele media and print media channels, Reminders to orators, performers, and attendees through emails, and Analysis of Feedback and acknowledgements. The last phase will be the conduction of the fund raising event and the closure phase. It will have the activities as Organization of the Event, Analysis of the Funds Collected and Submission to the Charity, Press Release on the Event, Performance Assessment & Lessons Learned, and Closure Report.
Work Breakdown Structure
A Work Breakdown Structure for the project has been developed as a sequential and hierarchical structure. The six phases of the project have respective activities and sub-activities. The hierarchical representation of the work breakdown structure shows the different levels involved in the project. The WBS developed is a 3-level WBS in which there are four levels as 0, 1, 2, and 3 involved (Rianty, Latief and Riantini, 2018). The WBS will allow the project scheduling and project budgeting activities easier as the project resources will have the understanding of the relationship and dependencies of different activities with each other.

Non-Human Resources
Apart from the human resources, there will also be several other resources that will be involved in the project.
Technical Tools: The development of a web portal for selling the tickets will require development tools and a database will be needed to store the project details. There will be computer systems and networking equipment needed.
Microphones and speakers will be needed at the venue so that all the attendees may be able to listen to the information being shared.
A screen using a projector will also be needed for sharing the presentations.
Seating arrangements will be done using the furniture at the venue.
