Project Background

On 21 July 2021 and at a ceremony in Tokyo, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) officially announced Brisbane as the third Australian city (after Melbourne and Sydney) to host the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics games. Brisbane Opening Ceremony is now set for 23 July 2032 and will be held at The Gabba Stadium at the heart of Brisbane CBD. The scope of the work is all the construction and infrastructure projects have to be completed prior to hosting the events such as building new stadiums and venues, improving existing sport facilities and complex, construction of a brand-new Olympic village and improving the Brisbane roads and other infrastructure to host this massive global event. In this case, you should not only focus on the construction aspects of the project. You also need to look at the cultural, social, political and environmental factors contributing on this project.

Criteria: Activities:

Project goal, deliverables and elements are logical, correct, complete and go above and beyond than those stated within the case study and assessment brief.

Coding:

WBS codes are included and correct. The WBS has several levels and the codes demonstrate an excellent understanding of their correct use.

Example of WBS on The Brisbane 2032 Olympic games project.

Particular attention should be paid to:

• Activities that cover all of the life cycle phases, ie don't ignore any handover/closing type activities or early activities
• Any major activities that might be more management or governance related, these are the less obvious activities that are often missed
• Activity codes (these are often forgotten)
• Logical and clear structure
• Readable and clear formatting

The WBS can be presented in either chart or table forma.
