Project Communication and Risk
In the centre of Dubai stands the Burj Khalifa tower, the world's tallest manmade structure. This impressive skyscraper, which reaches up to a record height of 828 m, is the focal point of the 500-acre mega-project 'Downtown Dubai' by Emaar Properties. This project redefined what is possible in the design and engineering of supertall buildings.

Question 1
Summarise the project by providing the following in a tabular format.
Project objective
Project description
Project scope of work
Project schedule
Project cost (if applicable)
Question 2
One of the most difficult aspects of a project is to understand, extract, and solidify in documented form the requirements of a project. Often, for example, the customer must first be taught to give clear requirements. Project managers and project personnel frequently compound the issue by automatically relying on the fact that requirements will change yet not doing much to plan for it. Each project has many interested internal and external parties or "customers." Often these individuals change or their interests in the project change during the different phases of the project. This may cause the other "technical" requirements which we may have assumed to be stableto likewise change. Interestingly, there are a number of nontechnical requirements that usually never change but are forgotten.
