PRO­PRO­JEKT was com­mis­sioned to sup­port the Organ­ising Com­mit­tee during the final six months of pre­par­a­tion. The tasks included com­pil­ing an over­arch­ing mile­stone plan, includ­ing ongo­ing status track­ing, and cre­at­ing a risk matrix. This involved con­tinu­ous coordin­a­tion with the rel­ev­ant depart­ments and close con­sulta­tion with the lead­er­ship team.

In addi­tion, cus­tom­ised read­i­ness exer­cises were designed and con­duc­ted to the­or­et­ic­ally sim­u­late event pro­cesses and pre­pare the team for the event week. During the event, PRO­PRO­JEKT sup­por­ted the team at the Host City Oper­a­tion Center and draf­ted a daily event report.
