1. List two organisational documents or resources that can help define project parameters.
As a project manager it’s a must understanding the businesses environment, their nature,
projects and staff. Therefore, documents are based on the resources the company may own
or acquire and they can help defining the project. Organizational documents that defines
important parameters at any stage are:
A contract or agreement
Time frames for the project
2. Choose one document or resource from those listed in Question 1 and explain how it helps
define project parameters.
A contract or agreement: One of the most important documents because it describes widely
the scope’s project and the duty of the different stakeholders involve in a project. It contains
vital information as the scope, goals, standards, fees, payments and budget. Besides, a
contract has a legal connotation as it involves a budget, requirements, specifications and
standards that need to be meet during the project, also known as memorandum of
understanding (MOU).
3. Outline two questions or considerations for a person managing part of a project when
identifying the extent of their responsibility.
Who are the stakeholders and their responsibilities with the project?
What standard procedures or protocols and policies exist in this project?
4. Provide two examples that illustrate why it’s important for a project manager executing a
project to consider organisational objectives and the relationship of the project to other
projects.
Example 1: A construction company is working on a new project which is located in a
metropolitan area and they have found there are endemic trees where a building supposed to
be built. Even when the easy way will be removing the species, this decision implies a
commitment to plant and care new plants for the following 10 years. As the company has been
working hard to meet a Leadership Energy Environmental Design certificate, with the
collaboration of some environtmentalologists, environmental engineers and biologist, they
decide this it will be against their principals and policies, considering most of the trees are in the
middle of their biological life they cooperate with the design to adjust the spaces around them.
Example 2: The same company needs to work on a critical scenario as It is marked as a milestone
in the project schedule and dashboard, also with constructive complexity because they may need
to lift up 10 steel girders and it has a predecessor activity which also takes time to complete.
However, the machinery and equipment brought to the construction site do not meet WHS
parameters due to ground instability when gets wet. The forecast may have shown a better
weather but in fact it has been raining during the morning, therefore the activity and
construction phase has been classified as a high risk activity and the stakeholders decided to stop
the activity even when it represents a difficult stage at the work progress. The CEO’s understand
safety is first and duty in the construction site and they will assume deliverables and budget
overrun.
5. Identify two factors a project manager should consider when allocating human resources to a
project.
1. People undertaking project tasks understand their responsibilities and duties, also the
project’s scope and how the team works and support.
2. Having signed and understood a contract or an agreement, their duties and the equipment
they may need to fulfill their requirements as employees.
6. Provide two examples of project management tools, explaining how each can contribute to
project management.
1. Critical Path method: It is a project management tool that shows the sequence of activities
in a project in dependent and independent tasks where dependent are the ones will form
the longest duration or critical stage during the project schedule.
2. Cost schedule control system: this tool divides the activities in a project with their cost and
a theoretical time to be finished, this way we know milestones achieved o time and cost
which usually are related.
7. You are managing a project to train staff members in a specialist, high-risk work role.
Training must be delivered within a given time frame, in your workplace by a technically
qualified and experienced trainer.
Using the five-step risk management process, identify two risks to the project and suggest
how these risks could be controlled.
9. Explain the difference between direct and indirect costs, giving an example of each.
