Learning outcomes Evaluate current industry best practices as it relates to organisational and project management in medium and large scale engineering enterprises. Explain the process and importance of the leadership function in relation to the management of engineering projects within an organisation. Research new engineering and project management approaches and reflect critically on their significance to engineering practice. Assignment Instructions This assignment has two components: a written report and an oral presentation. You are required to select an engineering based project (either an existing one or one created by you). For this project you are required to produce the following: A full scope (review the project charter document on blackboard as a starting point) A complete work breakdown structure (WBS) including cost and duration estimates for all work packages A Gantt chart identifying task interdependencies and milestones A complete PERT chart with a clear indication of the critical path and possible slack/float times. Your report will consist of the final deliverables WBS, Gantt and PERT charts and scope/other documents used. You also need to provide a clear description of your project as well as challenges faced in producing the required information and how you have overcome them including your recommendations and lessons learnt. Where an engineering construction project is selected it is recommended that the issues surrounding heritage listing of the proposed construction site and their impact on the project is given specific attention. A number of resources could be used to obtain this type of information. As an additional part of your studies you are required to research industry best practice in relation to application of project management tools/processes and provide recommendations in relation to case study used in this assignment.
