Project Management

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with at least 20 items. The WBS should be presented in the form of a
table that includes dependencies, milestones, and summary tasks. You are free to deliver this as a Gantt
Chart (use GanttProject to develop this), but it is not required. Include with this table a referenced
paragraph explaining how a WBS can be used to help manage the tasks on a project and give a further
paragraph briefly explaining the importance of critical path analysis;
3. Risk register containing at least 10 fully documented risks, including owner, mitigation and contingency
actions, pre-and post- action weighting and scores;
4. Short report to the Project Sponsor, the Director of Operations. Your report should contain both of the
following:
a. An explanation of the need for quality leadership on the project, and the role that a successful
project manager can play – the project manager has to be much more than an administrator or 
coordinator. Discuss the value of strong leadership on a project and, using examples, explain
what happens when this leadership is missing;
b. An analysis and critique of methodologies that might be used to run the case study project,
comparing Agile, Waterfall and PRINCE2 methodologies. Explain their strengths and weaknesses
and give your recommendation to the sponsor as to which methodology you believe would be best
to use. There is no right or wrong answer for this, hence marks will be given on the basis of how
well you have explained and justified your decision. As with the other assignment elements,
a reference to examples and theory is very important.
