Problem
Case Study Overview:
In conventional business and government mega projects--such as hydroelectric dams, chemical-processing plants, or big-bang enterprise-resource-planning systems--the standard approach is to build something monolithic and customized. Such projects must be 100% complete before they can deliver benefits: Even when it's 95% complete, a nuclear reactor is of no use. On the basis of 30 years of research and consulting on mega projects, the author has found two factors that play a critical role in determining success or failure: replicable modularity in design and speed in iteration. The article examines those factors by looking at well-known megaprojects, both successful ones, and cautionary tales.
Using the mega project case study answer the following:
Build and describe a complex model that can be used to manage the mega project described in the case study linked above. Your model should include the following:
• Overview of the process
• Pictorial design of the process
• Description of each phase
• Explanation as to why this process will work when managing mega projects.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
