You can choose a project that was completed successfully or one that was not completed successfully. We encourage the selection of projects related to your eld of study (i.e. Health, Art, IT, Management, Aviation, Construction, Engineering, etc). However, you are free to select any project. You are encouraged to search the Web for your selected project and to collect any information about the project, making sure to cover different viewpoints. This could include searching in newspapers, project management magazines, and journals. Write a report that critically analyses how the project was planned and performed. The report should include: 1. Executive Summary Brief summary of the report. 2. A brief introduction to the project Provide an overview of the project you have analysed. This should explain what the project was and the context in which it took place. Also, include clear identication of the objective(s) and scope of the project. 3. A project stakeholder analysis Identify the key stakeholders and describe how they were involved/contributed to the project. A. A brief description of how the project was managed (e.g. strategy, key events, tools used etc) Describe the implementation phase of the project. In particular, explain whether the project ran to plan in which case explain the benets of careful planning to the project manager. Alternatively, if the project deviated from the plan, why did this occur and what was the impact of these deviations on the project? 5. A critical analysis of the project outcome (Le. the critical factors that made this project a success or a failure) 6. Conclude by reecting on the project and your analysis. What did you learn? What good practices will you, as a manager, take from this to future projects? What activities would you not do in the future and why? 7. Recommendation/s to improve the project work in the future (based on what you have learned from this course). 8. References at least ve references are required (i.e., website,journal articles, books, newspapers etc.). References are required wherever you have used the ideas from a source. For this assessment that might mean you only refer to sources where you have found information on the project and those that refer to theories and concepts covered in the course. 9. Appendices as appropriate
