You are asked to critically evaluate a project and assess its characteristics in relation to project management methodologies, procedures and techniques taught in the module. Consider a project in which you have personally been involved or any project of your choice for which you are able to obtain a sufficient amount of information. Scrutinise the project management approach taken by critically analysing a number of apparent problems and explaining the impact these have had on the overall project delivery and/or its subsequent performance. The outcome of such project evaluation and associated problem solving is expected in terms of a set of solutions for future projects in the same area or of a similar scope/budget. These should be well informed by the established theory, industry best practice, or other projects you may have investigated. Your standpoint should be balanced, and the analysis well-written, generously complemented with suitable references to the relevant, contemporary project management literature as well as referring to personal experiences, observations and insights where appropriate. The presented analysis should be based on appropriate and substantial research, which must be evidenced in the report. A mere composition of case studies taken straightaway from certain sources without your own in-depth elaboration, critical evaluation and synthesis of original recommendations will not be deemed a highly original contribution and, consequently, will attract low marks. The report should be 2,500 words (+/-10%), including any exhibits, tables and figures, but excluding the reference list. All figures and tables should be consecutively numbered, and captions provided.
