Project Management Assignment

A Case Study of Successful Project Management in Two Indigenous Communities Available at: www.isrn.qut.edu.au/pdf/ijcis/v2n1_2009/Final_Jose.pdf This case study can be found at the link above. The assignment requires you to read this case report and search it for two items: (1) The positives in this project (what went well) (2) The setbacks in this project (challenges and setbacks) You are not required to make any recommendations for improvement. Rather, you are reading the report to simply identify, list and discuss the positives and setbacks. Two (2) positives and two (2) setbacks are to be identified and detailed. Each positive or setback is detailed in 2 paragraphs where you identify the issue, why you think it went right (or wrong) and use references from the literature that discuss this weakness or strength in projects (at least 2 unique sources per topic). For example, if you identify that the budget for this project was exceeded, you will identify the cost overrun and cite references that discuss cost overruns being a common problem in projects. Some positives and setbacks are clear as they are explicitly mentioned, while others may be implied and will need you to read into the case report and make conclusions about those strengths or weaknesses. The assignment takes the form of a report with the specified headings in the summary above. The purpose of the report is to assess your ability to read a project case report, identify project management issues, and make reference to supporting project management literature on the topic.
