Project Management
Project Management
Order Description
Must be in business case format! As previously sent through "aib style guide"
Appraise an existing or past project. This could be any one of these:
appraisal of an activity you believe would be improved by managing as a project; or
appraisal of an existing work project you are currently involved with; or
appraisal of an activity you were involved with in the past that you believe could have been (better) managed as a project.
Then, write a report about your project. Your report must include:
A brief description of the organisational setting and the project environment to ensure the reader understands the context in which the project is set.
An outline of the objectives of the project and the importance of the project to the organisation.
A detailed overview and analysis of the use of relevant project management concepts, tools and techniques demonstrating knowledge and understanding of project
management as covered in the subject. This section should comprise the main part of your assignment.
The analysis should cover the following as a minimum:
how the project should be defined
a discussion of the project plan
scheduling resources and costs
the management of project risks
project performance management.
All of the concepts in the list above should be addressed, but some of them may be more important for your particular project than others. Feel free to focus your
analysis more heavily on the issues that particularly impact your project.
