Assignment One - Management Products
This assignment requires the preparation of a number of Management Products used in contemporary Project Management. These can relate to a project which is either real or imaginary, but which is based in a project context within which you have some experience.
1A A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Prepare a WBS for your project under consideration, which fully demonstrates your understanding
1B Time Schedule and Resource Considerations
You are required to prepare:
1B-1. A task list clearly showing the task description, duration and dependency logic between the tasks
1B-2. A fully analysed hand drawn precedence network diagram.
1B-3. A fully developed Gantt chart in MS Project 2010 derived from your manual network.
1B-4. One clearly explained example of how the over demand for a resource might be resolved.
It is appreciated that the project considered in 1A above is likely to be too complex for use in 1B. A project here with approx. 30 tasks is likely to be sufficient to demonstrate understanding. So, either use a smaller project here or use a part of a larger project considered in 1A. You will be required to submit evidence of the use of project management software but this is not essential.
Assignment Two - A Critical Review of Project Management Practice
This assignment is an individual reflective assignment on your experience and work in this module. You are required to:
2A Reflect on your current understanding of project management in relation to the perceived best practice.
2B Critique the application of a project management technique of your choosing. Word count for Part A and Part B: 2,000 - 3,000 words
