Write an essay of around 3,000 words (*) concerning a major project and its success or failure, taken from the literature or from what you know from newspaper reports (for example, the new Hong Kong airport, or the Scottish Parliament). The essay should include the following points:
写一篇约3000字(*)有关重大项目和它的成功或失败,从文学或从你知道的新闻报道(例如,新香港机场,或苏格兰议会)。这篇文章应该包括以下几点:
(i) Enough description of the project so that a reader can understand the rest of the essay, including the business context of the project and/or business needs that caused the project to be initiated. Include the scope of the project, and propose what a Work Breakdown Structure would look like, defining say around 15 elements
(ii) Describe the major stakeholders in the project and briefly state how you would define success or failure for such a project for each of them. Include a note of any contractual arrangement that you think would have been most appropriate for use between the parties.
(iii) What do you think are the main risks (say, six main risks) that apply (or applied) to the project? [Include aspects such as: What time/cost/technical outcomes do they affect? How big are they compared to the size of the parties involved?]
(iv) Draw up a possible project network of around a dozen activities, and state what is likely to be the critical path. Stating some main risks to the timescale, note which activities are likely to be crucial or critical.
(v) Draw up a list of the most important risks and issues (around 12-15, say). Show how these are related to each other in a causal map (including some of the management actions that would be undertaken, and the results of those actions, and so on). Discuss how this might be of value to project management.
(vi) Describe the structures and methods do you think could and should have been used for governance and management of the project.
