(b) Let's say you're building an app. A product owner takes input from stakeholders. These can be executives, customers or both. They'll say something such as, We want an app where users can create and sell widgets to each other." From these interactions, the product owners create a backlog. The backlog is a list of all tasks that need to be completed to achieve the overarching goal. Next, the team holds a pre-iteration meeting. They review the backlog and determine how much work they can take on. Once they commit to the work and rev it up, the iteration begins. An iteration typically takes a few weeks, but no longer than a month. At the beginning of each day, the team will meet for a stand-up meeting. These are brief, everyone stands up (to ensure the meeting is brief), and you review the previous day's work and make adjustments if needed. At the end of the interation, the team and stakeholders review progress, commit https://calleam.com/WTPF/?p=9352 Continued .../ AAO 1/4 DPM5214 PROJECT MANAGEMENT 22 November 2021 their work, make adjustments for the next iteration and reiterate. This continues until the overarching goal is reached.? Identify the FOUR (4) types of project life cycle and the type of project life cycle described in the above case. (10 marks) QUESTION 2 (20 MARKS) (a) The planning, designing and engineering of urban spaces has increasingly pivoted to safety and health. As Singapore eases restrictions and the economy continues to open up, space planners are increasingly challenged to think about new ways to design urban spaces to facilitate interactions within safe management protocols. Urban spaces must be designed in a manner that allows facility operators to control foot traffic when a cluster emerges, and must be modular where possible so that the space can be immediately re-purposed in an emergency. Development sites have turned into temporary vaccination centres, and exhibition and convention spaces have been successfully converted to community care facilities and later evolved to a meeting facility for travellers. Traditional industrial facilities have begun to incorporate retail shopfronts. Spaces below expressway viaducts are increasingly being used for sporting facilities. Architects are challenged to think about how this kind of flexibility can be applied to other spaces including transport nodes, MRT stations and carparks. More than ever, urban planners have to engage other stakeholders outside of the traditional project life-cycle in the design process. Present TEN (10) internal and external stakeholders who are likely to be involved in the design of a modular urban space. (10 marks) (b) The most obvious management-level role is the project manager. The project manager is the person assigned by the performing organisation to lead the team that is responsible for achieving the project objectives. The project manager is normally directly accountable for the project results, schedule and budget. This person is the main communicator, is responsible for the planning and execution of the project, and works on the project from start to finish. The project manager often must get things done through the power of influence since his or her formal power may be limited. The contemporary approach to project management is to lead in a facilitating manner to the extent possible. State any FIVE (5) types of power available to project managers. (10 marks) QUESTION 3 (20 MARKS) (a) Scope definition is an important part of project planning because all other planning is based on the project scope. While the requirements collected represent the customers statement of what they need, the defined scope is the project team's response asking the customer, "If we provide this, will it solve your problem?" It is impossible to estimate how much a project will cost how many and what type of workers will be needed, how long a project will take what risks are involved, or what quality standards will be invoked without first understanding what work is included in the project. The best time to gain customer understanding is when the project team is defining the scope not while executing the project scope work. Describe the THREE (3) steps to scope definition. (12 marks) (b) Project closing can have a significant impact on the members of a project team. Outline the approach you would take, as project manager, to address the needs of your team members during this difficult period in the life of the project. (8 marks) QUESTION 4 (20 MARKS) Why Delta Just Announced the Strictest Employee Vaccination Policy Yet The airline will require un vaccinated employees to pay an extra $200 a month for health coverage, among other mandates, By Guriel Delta Air Lines announced Wednesday a financial penalty and a host of other rules for unvaccinated employees - becoming perhaps the first large U.S. company to do so, CEO Ed Bastian wrote in a public memo that unvaccinated Delta employees on the company's health care plan will be charged S200 extra a month starting November 1. Unvaccinated employees also will start getting tested weekly on September 12 for as long as local transmission rates remain high and must wear masks while on the job, effective immediately. "Over the past few weeks, the fight has changed with the rise of the B.1.617.2 [Delta) variant -- a very aggressive form of the vins. "Bastian wrote. As a result, he added. the company is taking robust measures to encourage employees to get the shot. The Delta variant has driven an uptick in cases and overwhelmed the country's hospitals. As of late August, over 77 percent of the ICU beds in the US, are being used due to a rise in Cavid- 19 patients, according to Axios. Most of those patients are not vaccinated. Three-quarters of Delta employees are vaccinated, the CEO said But the cost of coronavirus hospitalisations contributed to the airline's decision. "The average hospital stay for Covid- 19 has cost Delta 550,000 per person. This surcharge will be necessary to address the financial risk the decision to not vaccinate is creating for our company." Bastion stated. The CEO added that in the last couple of weeks, most of the Delta employees who have been hospitalised due to coronavirus were not fully vaccinated Employees who choose not to get the shot will not receive "Covid protection pay if they Continued 34 DPS PROR.CT MANAGEMENT 23 New get sick. While the virus -- and the debate about requiring vaccines in the workplace - rages on, Delta has taken a firm line. "Vaccinations are the safest, most effective, and most powerful tool we have to achieve our goals, live up to our values, and move forward." Bastian wrote (a) Identify the EIGHT (8) common risk strategies that can be applied to any project (16 marks) (b) Associate TWO (2) strategies that is likely to have been applied by Delta Air Lines in its response to employees choosing not to get vaccinated (4 marks)
