Project Snapshot
Organisation: The Bookery (Non-Profit Organisation)
Scope: Project planning and delivery coordination
Timeframe: Milestone event campaign
Role: Project Planning Lead
Overview
The Bookery was preparing to launch its 100th library — a significant organisational milestone. The event required coordination across multiple workstreams, including logistics, communications, and stakeholder engagement.
Clear structure was needed to ensure the milestone event was delivered smoothly and on time.
Strategic Approach
Using information provided by The Bookery team, I translated high-level objectives into a structured project plan. The focus was on:
- Mapping deliverables across workstreams
- Sequencing tasks to reduce bottlenecks
- Clarifying ownership and accountability
- Establishing clear milestones leading up to the event
The goal was not to execute tasks directly, but to enable the team to deliver efficiently.
Execution
- Created a centralised project plan to track progress and dependencies
- Mapped tasks, timelines, and ownership across teams
- Provided visibility across workstreams
- Helped anticipate risks and reduce last-minute pressure
- Maintained structured oversight leading up to the launch
The plan served as the operational backbone of the milestone event.
Outcomes
- Milestone event delivered successfully
- Project plan adopted as a reusable framework for future initiatives
- Positive feedback highlighting clarity, efficiency, and reduced delivery stress
Working with Karen on developing a project plan for The Bookery’s 100th library launch was an invaluable experience. Her assistance brought structure and efficiency to what could easily have been an overwhelming process. The result was a well-coordinated launch event that reflected the significance of our 100th library milestone. We are deeply grateful for…the practical, user-friendly project management tool that became the backbone of our event management and something we are building on going forward with other projects.
