Doing any project we need an action plan which include situation analyses which we must know the situation such as time frame, facilities available but it depends on the project that we do. Information gathering is very important if we do any project because by doing this we know the background of the project which can apply the objectives of the paper works. Organizing and implementation is more like plan anything such as activity, timetable before and when the project started and finally monitoring and evaluation is very important to know our strength and weaknesses of the project which also we can know either the project success. From this we can improve the project for the next time when we going to do the project again. Below the show The Project Cycle:-


SITUATION ANALYSES --> INFORMATION GATHERING --> ORGANIZING AND IMPLEMENTATION --> MONITORING AND EVALUATION --> SITUATION ANALSES


Youth’s Extravaganza Night is one of the projects that organize by Youth and Sport Department of Temburong in Collaboration with the Youth Club of Temburong. This project was held by the conjunction of His Majesty Birthday which about one hundred youth were involve by participating the event by taking part in Dancing (Traditional), Drama, Live Band, Music (Traditional) and Singing.

Honestly speaking, this project don’t have any paper work given, only told and instructed to do this event in short notice which were only a few weeks to practice before the event started. As we can see that this project were having a lot of weakness rather than the strength. Of course there is budget given for this project; however that budget were really not enough but then we already agree to take this offer and this is the first time we get this offer. Nevertheless this project has strength and weaknesses before the project held. At the beginning shows that a lot of weaknesses such as there is no working paper for this project. Accepting this project in short notice also one of the weaknesses because time frame really very short in order to prepare any type of performance.

At first, as usual before the project started we have a meeting once which people from our department and some of the youth were involved in this meeting. The meeting was to discuss about this project or event which were to organize a working committee in order to split up the responsibility, everybody got different responsibility including the youth. This meeting also discussing about the budget and plan what to do for this budget. This meeting also discuss about what time of performance do we perform at that night so we decide to perform four type of performance such as Dancing (Traditional), Music (Modern and Traditional), Drama and Singing. As we can see that there is strength for this part but there are weaknesses. The strength for this part are there is a meeting were held before the project (PLAN) which this meeting were split up the responsibility of the project to people who attend in that meeting including the youth. This is good to involve youth to participate this event or project because to give them an opportunity to show their quality and talents in many ways such as Dancing (Traditional), Music (Modern and Traditional), Drama and Singing. This is the first time for the youth to get involve for this type of event or show in front of people as in public. So they were showed some commitment for this project. For this project there are working committee which all people were responsible for their work they assign which were the strength for the project also. Many weaknesses we can see from this part such ah only one meeting were held for this project which for me were not enough because to do a big project we must at least have 2-3 times meeting in order to make this project run smoothly. Secondly, the working committee were enough but then some of the youth were don’t have any experienced to do this type of work which can cause many problem to other people. For this problem they were correct the by involving experience people to work with the youth but then it’s not very successfully correct because there is no understanding between the people involve which can cause more problem.

Every project such as to perform in front of public need more practice to do. For this project there is only a few weeks to practice which is not enough. There is no proper timetable for the practice for this event. Although there were already discussing and decide about the timetable but then people who involve don’t care about the timetable they just do the decision form practicing in short notice which is can cause many problem like place because place for practicing is very limited. We can see the strength for this part which organizing committee already plan the timetable for practicing any performance but they just ignore it and there is a place for them practice but it so limited because sometimes the place were booked by others. Sometimes they do not follow order from other top organizing committee which means that they don’t have teamwork with other committee. Some of the youth involved were still schooling and some of them were still searching for a job (unemployment). This is very hard for them to practicing in time because of some of them were still schooling. This is one of the reasons why they were not come for practice in time and this is why they change the timetable in short notice. But for this problem there is correction action but then its not well success because although the new timetable were given but then still some people cannot attend the practice. Other reason they can’t come because problem in transportation.

Although there is a plan and strategies for this project but still there is some weaknesses during the implementation. Too much change in type of performance like dancing which from the beginning there is no specific type of dance there were want to performance, they keep on changing so many time which can create a problem for the youth who participate in dancing. Also there is so many teachers who teach for dancing which also can create a problem because different people different style of teaching so the youth don’t know who to follow. It’s very hard for them to follow instruction for different people. So we have other alternative which is different teacher take part for this event in charge different type of dance. Changing in people who taking part any type of performance was one of the factors that cause problem during the implementation. Sometimes they were practice for certain time and not attending practices the time given because of many personal reasons. So we have to search for other replacement but then its very hard to find an replacement. Sometimes they give up all of sudden because cannot afford to do what they have agree at beginning. Same to working committee, youth who don’t have any experienced sometimes have given up and give their responsible to other person. Sudden change can bring much change and possibility damage in morale of the participant.

One man show is one of the reason there is much problem during the implementation, no teamwork with other which also can create problem. They started to think negatively which can affect their confident level but luckily there is a leadership quality among the person in charge for this project. This is one of the strength for this project, good leadership psychologically can give support in order to boost their confident level but only certain people who don’t have teamwork which can affect much for the participant involve like trying to manipulate others to give up or to encourage them to dislike to other people.

In project planning, implementing and evaluating is very important to have enough budget because is one of the key of success for the project. For this project budget available were only very limited which we only given $500.00. For me this project is really big, so we deserve more budgets in order to make this project run smoothly. This shows some weaknesses for this project because we need many things for this project such as foods for the participant during the practice and actual event which is very much needed but not only that we have to rent other thing such as sound system and so on. During the implementation of this project we also have plan A (Do all the activities above like dancing, music, drama and singing) and plan B (Cut some of the activities if times were limited or some activity have to drop because of other thing that cannot ovoid so that’s why if plan A not success we must change to plan B.

At the actual event for this project run smoothly although there is only a few problem had occurred such as time frame which we’re not finished on time because of technical problem so we have to cut some of the performance which is can down participant morale. This project was considering a success but there is a strength and weaknesses during the starting of the event or during the implementation which we must improve for the next project. Post mortem is one of the techniques to know our strength and weaknesses which can people can give their thought and debate of the problems that occurred before and during this project were occurred. However this only can be improve by doing the PROJECT CYCLE above shown which is very useful to used because planning a project need time to do a proper paperwork including the budgeting. However planning a project also need
