Note - Team Profiles
Provide clear documentation of skills, abilities and expertise in the form of a PebblePad Portfolio for each team
member which provides evidence of their relevant skills and how these will contribute to the overall project
outcome.
In each Portfolio students should provide examples of relevant assessment that demonstrates the skills
necessary to complete this project.
In preparation of your portfolio you should complete the Self-Understanding 2 Careers Module and quiz.
Here is an example of a student portfolio and a sample CV portfolio. Below are links to some resources on
preparing your CV portfolio using PebblePad.

Project Background The JCU Townsville Fire, established in 2001 as a team
within the Australian WNBL tournament, is the only
professional women’s sporting club north of Brisbane. Run
as a not-for-profit community owned entity since 2011, the
Fire primarily sustains itself through the revenue generated
from ticket sales, membership, sponsorship and
merchandising sales. Over the course of its existence the
club has experienced great success, recently appearing in
four consecutive grand finals and winning two consecutive
titles. Additionally, it is currently ranked number one in the
competition in terms of attendance, membership and
revenue.

Project Objectives/Issues to be With the objectives of the JCU Fire in mind, the purpose of
addressed this project will be to devise a specific way for the club to
engage with the community. Of course, in order to align
with the objectives of any particular government grant, this
project must have a narrowed scope. Here, the issue which
this project will focus on is the health problems faced by
people in the North Queensland community. Specifically,
the scope of this project will be limited to the issue of heart
conditions such as cardiovascular disease, which are largely
preventable. Chiefly, the project will aim to leverage the
profile of the Fire players as professional athletes and
positive role models to bring about improvements in the
health and well-being of young people in North
Queensland. The primary objective of the project will be to
instill healthy habits in young people concerning nutrition
and exercise to ensure that they avoid developing heart
conditions in adulthood.

conditions are uncommon in young people, the incidence
of these diseases in adults largely reflects the influence of
risk factors which are present before the age of 18
(Swinburn et al., 2004). According to a study by the
Queensland Government (2016), the incidence of obesity in
the state has risen from 17% in 2004 to 24% in 2016. As of
2016, 26% of children aged 5 to 17 in North Queensland
were overweight or obese. The same survey reported that
60% of children in North Queensland performed
insufficient physical activity, 35% consumed insufficient
amounts of fruit, and 90% consumed insufficient amounts
of vegetables. Thus, what this indicates is that the rising
prevalence of chronic heart conditions is chiefly due to
poor nutrition and lack of exercise, which is something
which stems from childhood. In Townsville, there are over
66,000 people under the age of 24, meaning that there is a
tremendous amount of young people who are susceptible
to this chronic condition (ABS, 2008).

program, the outcome sought will need to align with the
objectives of a specific government grant. One such grant is
the Active Healthy North Queensland grant program, which
is offered by the North Queensland Primary Health
Network. Primarily, the grant aims to improve the
promotion of health in the North Queensland area.
According to the grant guidelines (2016), priority will be
given to programs which aim to “prevent chronic disease
through early intervention strategies which promote
healthy lifestyle behaviours” in the form of encouraging
good nutrition and regular exercise. As aforementioned,
the JCU Fire is in a good position to leverage their profile as
sportspeople and role models to satisfy these objectives.
Thus, it is arguable that the club would not only be able to
satisfy its goal of contributing towards a positive outcome
for the community, but also to provide itself with a new
revenue stream in the process.
Project Strategy In order to produce the deliverable for this project, various
key steps will need to be undertaken. Firstly, information
will need to be reviewed concerning the potential existence
of past or present programs in the community which deal
with the same issue and whether these programs have had
any success. Next, all relevant data pertaining to this
specific health issue in North Queensland should be
gathered to establish the precise nature of the problem.
Similarly, all relevant literature should be compiled relating
to the importance of cause marketing and the effectiveness
of professional athletes in influencing the choices made by
the public. Following this, for this issue to be adequately
remedied by the club, a range of specific activities or
programs which the team can engage in must be
brainstormed. A decision should then be made as to which
program is most feasible by judging each option against the
criteria of the grant guidelines. Additionally, it would be
prudent for the group to then assess the precise costs of
this activity by developing a budget. This will determine
whether or not the activity represents a positive return on
investment to the Fire. The group will also need to consider
the potential involvement of any existing sponsors of the
team in the activity and whether this could pose another
potential revenue stream. Lastly, once all of the previous
activities have been conducted, the final grant application
will need to be completed and submitted to the club.

Project Outcomes/deliverables Upon completion of this project, a formal grant application
will be produced and submitted to the JCU Fire. This
application can then be presented by the club to the
government body responsible for approving the grant.
Notes:

Notes:
Milestones: A project milestone is a significant event in the project which may signify the acceptance or verification of
completion of a project phase, task, decision, or deliverable. It is important to note that milestones are not work activities but
rather significant events during the project which usually have a duration of zero. Another way to identify the key milestones is
to examine the plan to determine which actions are required before the next step is possible.
In the Gantt chart Tasks: detail the specific tasks required to achieve each milestone
Who is Responsible: List the team member(s) responsible for each task
Timeframe: identify the start and finish date for each task
Resources needed: identify any resources needed to complete the task (eg. company documents, research data, academic
literature)

Project Risk Management
Informed decision-making is critical to the success of any project. No matter how well planned your
plan is, it is vital to have a risk management plan. Crucial to the success of the plan/project is the
identification of risks and how they will be managed.
