Context

You are working as a project manager in your chosen case organisation and a senior manager has asked for your assistance with understanding and resolving two current problems (refer below). The senior manager has asked that you provide a justified response to the two problems in the form of a written report (refer report structure below). Your responses are to be justified by recent and relevant scholarly (journal articles and eBooks) literature.

The two current problems Problem 1 The nature of work and its management: For your case organisation, critically argue (i.e. support your argument with scholarly literature) what activities undertaken by the organisation can be classified as operational work and what activities can be classified as project work. Then, evaluate, with the use of scholarly literature whether the managerial approaches currently being used for the management of those activities is the most suitable given your argued classification. Make recommendations based on the findings of your analysis. [Course module 1]

Problem 2 Structuring project work: For your case organisation, critically analyse, using scholarly literature, whether the current use of portfolios, programs and projects for structuring project work is appropriate. If the organization is not currently using these structures, critically assess whether there is any benefit in doing so. Make recommendations based on the findings of your analysis.
