4. Case Studies - Parts 4A,
Case Study 1 (Part 4A) - (15%)
NB: Case Study 4A has 2 sub-sections:
On BlackBoard under Unit Materials, you will find 2 Case Studies:
1. Fiona Stanley Hospital
2. TRELIS Project
You are to select ONE of these case studies and complete 2 subsections for Assesment:
4A: Sub Section 1:
List briefly (1-2 sentences for each example) TWO (2) separate examples of either project management good-practice or problems within the case study for each of any FIVE (5) of the following nine (9) project management processes: Integration; Scope; Time; Cost; Quality; Human Resource; Communication ; Procurement ; Risk.
Therefore, you are limited to 2 examples for each of 5 project management processes i.e 10 examples (1-2 sentences for each). The aim is for you to forensically analyse the case study and identify and record what project management good-practices/problems exist. This should engender an integrative awareness of the many project management processes that occur in one project. An example of the style of answer is:
|
PM
|
GOOD PRACTICE / PROBLEM
|
|
SCOPE
|
Inadequate scope definition due to time pressure
|
|
COST
|
Ignorance of the need for life cycle costs in business case decisions
|
4A: Sub-Section 2:
Select TWO examples (from the 10) from 2 different processes of good-practice/problems from your answer
in Sub-section 1. For each of these two examples:
- Describe and justify (400-600 words for each example):
- If it was a good-practice, explain why it is good practice;
- If it was a problem, explain why it is bad practice;
To support your answers for each example, you must refer to at least two academic references
