Assessment #1 - Project Analysis Report Assessment 1: Project Analysis Report (Individual Assessment) Word limit: 3300 words (55% of course assessment weighting) Due Date: Sunday, April 9, 2017 by 5:00pm through learnonline site This assignment is designed to lead you through a systematic evaluation of a project. Your role is to critically analyse one real project* – not summarise a project. I want to see that you have thought about the project and offered critical comments and insights based on your understanding of project management. *The project: Search for a real project. You can choose a project that was completed successfully or one that was not completed successfully. Please note that we strongly encourage the selection of projects related to your field of study (i.e Health, Art, IT, Management, etc). Instructions: You are encouraged to search the Web for the selected project and to collect any type of information about the project, making sure to cover different viewpoints. This could include newspapers, project management magazine and journals. As this project is a real case you can expand the information presented in the references (i.e. source). Write a report that critically analyses how the project was planned and performed. The report should include: 1. Brief introduction to the project. (Please give an overview of your project. This should explain what the project was and the context in which the project occurred. Clear identification of the objective(s) and scope of the project.) 2. A project stakeholder analysis. 3. A brief description of how the project was managed (eg. strategy, key events, tools used etc). (Describe the implementation phase of the project. In particular, explain whether the project ran to plan – in which case explain the benefits of careful planning to the project manager. Alternatively, if the project deviated from plan, why did this occur and what was the impact of these deviations for the project?) 4. A critical analysis of the project outcome (i.e. the critical factors that made this project a success or a failure). 5. Conclude reflecting on the project, what did you learn? What good practices will you, as a manager, take from this to future projects, and what activities would you not do in the future and why? 6. Appendices: Appendices as appropriate.
