Question:
You have learned the key characteristics of projects in Topic 1 of this unit. Part A requires you to apply this knowledge and any further research to a real project.
- A project has numerous characteristics that differentiate it from operations. Justify why the Sydney Light Rail Project is a project. Support your justifications with references to established definitions for what constitutes a project. Please use the following link for project information
https://www.audit.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/CBD%20and%20South%20East%20Light%20Rail_0.pdf
- For the same project please explain (you will need to undertake additional research and examine additional sources in order to complete this section):
- The beneficial change this project will bring about by using the deliverable. Describing the deliverable(s) only will result in low marks.
- How the project links to the organisation's goals.
PART B (PROJECT PROCESSES
There is extensive literature on the different processes/knowledge areas that are required to complete a project.
- Assess the 10 Knowledge Areas within PMBOK 6th Edition in order to determine which three you think are the most critical to achieving project success. Describe why each of your selected areas are important to project success. You must have at least 3 academic references for each answer, not including PMBOK. The academic references must be from peer reviewed research journals. Do not waste time defining or explaining how to perform the processes that belong to the Knowledge Area. The entire argument should be focused on why the Knowledge Area is important in determining project success.
- Explain how the three chosen knowledge areas that you have selected could have been better applied in the case study from Part A?
