7CN001 Advance Project Planning and Control - University of Wolverhampton
Learning Outcome 1: Analyse complex organisational, managerial and/or technological problems. Synthesise theory from a range of disciplines or data from a range of sources.
Learning Outcome 2: Demonstrate advanced planning, programming and control techniques using both manual and computer applications.
Brief
The UK Government recognises that electricity from wind, solar and nuclear fuel produces zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation. The recent COP26 conference in Glasgow - Scotland has further consolidated the need for the UK to produce zero carbon dioxide emission in its energy generation. Accordingly, a new Nuclear power station is being proposed as a means of generating more energy, boosting supply and potentially lowering consumption costs to consumers. If this proposed nuclear plant is found to be viable, advice the UK Government on the possible project planning techniques they can use for the intended project and sub-projects.
Your proposed solution (which may be tailored to your specific discipline / profession) should include:
i. Seven project planning techniques, and how they work and when they are most appropriately used;
ii. The merits and demerits of each of the different planning techniques in (i) above;
iii. Practical demonstration of the use of these techniques i.e. cite example/s with diagrammatic illustrations where possible;
iv. The availability of at least 5 project planning software that could be applied in your chosen project/s and highlight the key project/stakeholder considerations leading to their choice/s;
v. Discuss what your professional discipline, or course of study, can specifically contribute to the proposed new nuclear plant project.
Discussions should reference appropriate project planning theory and case studies.
Your report should be 3,500 words maximum (excluding Table of contents, references and appendices). Ensure that all arguments/claims are rationalised by reference to appropriate literature and/or supported with researched case studies.
• Scoping/analysis of the problem and evidence of critical thinking, plus overall style/structure, grammar & presentation
• Technical content of the report:
i. The full range of project planning techniques, how they work and when they are most appropriately used;
ii. The benefits and disadvantages of the different options ;
iii. Practical case study demonstration of the use of these techniques ;
iv. Highlight five available software for project planning and provide a comparative analysis of their robustness and functional capabilities;
v. Any other relevant information which the UK Government should take into consideration.
