Problem: Students and faculty staffs in Centennial College currently don’t have a place to
have lunch, dinner and drinks in a comfortable environment, a place where people can
gather together and spend some time until night. Centennial College is thinking of opening a
new restaurant in the marketplace but the college is not sure whether it will be successful ot
not, so the college wants to test the idea of opening a restaurant in marketplace, to see
whether it will be liked by students and college staff. Hence, the college is launching a project
to open a pop-up restaurant for one week.
Description: The project opening a pop-up restaurant for one week in the marketplace in
Centennial College, where we will offer our students and school staffs with hot meals (lunch
and dinner) and drinks, so that students and school staffs can have lunch, dinner and have
drinks between and after their classes.
Background: The only café in the buildings is Tim Hortons, it has very limited choice of hot
drinks and cold beverages, and it doesn’t offer lunch nor dinner. There are only 3-4 types of
sandwiches in the food menu. It closes at 3PM, and there is always a long line for waiting to
order. The nearest restaurant around campus is around 1 KM away. Students have classes
during the day, classes in the afternoon usually start at 12:30 PM and the last one in the
morning finishes at around 11:30PM, which makes the lunch break shorten to 1 hour. In the
afternoon the last classes finish at around 6:30 PM, they also need a place to have dinner.
Students and staff are seeking for a place to have lunch and dinner, spend some time in a
good dining environment.
Target opening time: Fall semester 2022 Spet.5th. (Opening event: Sep. 3th. Evening)
Possible Stakeholders:
Internal:
- President of Centennial College

Highlights of the pop-up restaurant:
-
Convenient location: it locates in the market place (ground floor) in the building. Students
can go to the restaurants without exiting the building, and it close to the classrooms
Many choices of food which will meet different people’s need:
-
Menu: Lunch menu, dinner menu as well as drinks will be offering. People will have choices for
real food, rather than just a sandwich. Bar will be open in the evening, so that people can also
have a couple of drinks in the evening. During lunch and dinner time it will also offer set menu for
people to quickly grab a bite of eat or order something to go. In the evening
-
More than a restaurant - A place to spend time and social:
Dining tables and chairs offer a comfortable and cozy dining environment for people to sit down,
have lunch/dinner, chat and social. It’s a restaurant as well as a place for people to hang around,
gather together, chat and network.

Project Part 4 (10%)
Planning – Risk
3. Risk Register (50 points)
Congratulations, you are in the final sprint of your team project planning.
Identify at least 20 risks for your project. For each risk, you should provide the basic information
(risk number, risk, description, category, risk owner, and root cause) and identify possible
mitigation actions.
Then, perform the qualitative analysis (probability and impact) and rank your risks based on the
risk exposure (probability x impact).
For the top 5 risks, identify triggers and potential responses.
4. Lessons Learned (50 points)
Running a project is always a challenge. It also is an amazing opportunity to learn from our
mistakes and from things that went well in our projects. Describe the lessons learned for each
team member during this project covering all parts of your report.
Include a summary section with possible improvements.
Templates
You will find project templates in the content area. Feel free to use them or to bring your own
project document. Just make sure you are covering all the relevant aspects in the document. You
can also deliver multiple documents for your assignment.
Peer evaluation
Although the project is a group assignment, you should provide a peer evaluation for each
project part. It is a simple evaluation that gives me a hint if you are having problems with your
team mates. Receiving a low evaluation from many team members can impact your grade.
