Introduction: Introduce your two projects, identify similarities and differences.

Operational Project based on operational case study:

o Outline the scope of the project

o Evaluate your natural leadership style and how you will use it to lead the project

Discovery Project based on an innovation case study of your choice:

o Describe how you will assess the risk of the project using predictive project analytics (PPA)

o Justify why this project should be undertaken given the PPA relating to its impact

o Choose an optimal leadership style for the project

o Suggest a project management methodology and integrate it with the leadership style

o Describe the team undertaking the project, or if not mentioned in the case study, suggest one that might be suitable and diverse

o Explain how you would democratize the project across the business

o Write short reflection of issues you may encounter when managing the project
