Assessment - Project Analysis Report Length: 1500 words The main objective of this assignment is to reinforce the importance of project definition and needs identification in the initial phase of the project life cycle. Success of a project is affected by the way a project’s objective(s) is defined, planned and managed. Unfortunately, successful project managers do fail; the key difference in strategic project management is that they learn from their mistakes. Project managers also learn from their success and are constantly searching for new strategies to further improve. In highly successful projects you are likely to find an excellent and valuable project team, a motivated project manager and a very efficient project structure. This assignment is designed to lead you through a systematic evaluation of a project. IMPORTANT NOTE: 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: Aviation Projects*. 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 AVIATION projects and projects related to Aviation field of study (i.e. Aviation Safety, Aerodrome Safeguard, Airport Design and Planning, Air Traffic Control Towers, etc.) Instructions: You are encouraged to search the Web for the selected project and to collect any type of information about the situation, 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: INSTRUCTION TO BE FOLLOW: 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). • 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? 5. Appendix. The report should not exceed 1500 words and should be formatted using 1.5 line spacing and a font size of 12pt. The word limit does not include the appendix, or the executive summary. References are only required from the original source of your selected project and from any theory you intend to use while writing your analysis. However, please note that as your role is to critically analyse the project – and not summarise a project, you should be using your own perspective, ideas and interpretation when writing so minimal in-text reference is required. • Note: All underline words are the main aim and what to cover in assignment. • Harvard Referencing.
