Concepts and strategies project management

Coursework Brief

This is part of a strategy to rethink what city centres should and could be and to find
alternative ways to attract people to cities that does not depend on the traditional mix of retail

and hospitality alone. Dundee has also taken a similar approach to economic regeneration by positioning itself as a centre of culture with the opening of the new V & A museum and the city has also recently announced that the Eden Project will set up its first attraction in Scotland on a former Dundee gasworks.

1.Identify 3 possible projects that would be suitable options in response to the project brief for the organisation to consider. Provide a brief outline of each option in terms of time, cost, alignment with the brief and risk. Identify a decision-making framework in order to critically evaluate and assess the merits of each of your options, you should include risk, benefits, costs, time and fit with the overall aims of the project brief, you can identify any other criteria you deem appropriate. Following your option appraisal, you are required to make a recommendation on the most beneficial potential project to adopt. You must ensure you provide a clear rationale for your choice.

Project Plan

6.Change. You should identify any specific controls you will put in place to monitor and control the project including an outline of the change control mechanisms and who will have responsibility for change control decisions within the project and how that would fit with configuration management. You should also critically discuss the potential impact of not having appropriate change and configuration mechanisms in place.

Conclusion. The report should include a conclusion section that pulls all the disparate elements together. Identify any areas of further investigation/research necessary and any decisions

Module Learning Outcomes

3. Scope
4. Plan

Develop a critical awareness of the issues involved in the development of project planning and control activities, including anticipating and assessing business environmental impacts in the earliest stages of project planning.

2. Business Case.

6. Risk
7. Stakeholders

When planning your project as well as producing a WBS and a Gantt you must also provide some discussion that outlines your approach to planning in terms of project phasing and milestones. You must make sure that your plans align to your overall objects, do not include anything here that is an addition to your scope, if you do go back and have a look at your scope. Either adjust the scope or adjust the plan but make sure that everything aligns.

In terms of stakeholder and risk analysis you must discuss the key issues here as well as producing a risk assessment matrix and a stakeholder power/interest grid. The key here is to include some critical discussion.
