The shape of the project should be of consideration; this involves the varied forms of aspects structuring and their correlation.

The initial project plan takes into place several tasks among them, identifying and documenting the stakeholders’ involvement, the advancing of a communications plan and the compilation of the relevant information to present the initial plan of the project.
In this project the stakeholders involved are the suppliers of the paints and brushes and the relevant equipments, there is also the steering committee which is composed of the four members. There are also other agencies like the department of community service, the Enterprise Scheme’s Finance Committee and the local government.
Communication in the project implementation is bi-directional. The members and the stakeholders are meant to communicate concerning the requirements and how to put them to work in an efficient manner that will not be too expensive.
