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).

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.
