project 1: defining and documenting a project
This project involves the application of the principles, issues and theories discussed thus far in the Project Management module, and their application into a simple construction project.
In a group of six (6) members, your task is to design and manage a simple construction project in a way that emphasizes COST, QUALITY or TIME, with a measurable ‘success criteria’.
Four (4) components in total (5% each):
- Introduction, Expanded organizational chart, Conclusion with 1 case study
- Design (Analysis, Proposal), Success Criteria
- Project scheduling & monitoring -Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) / Gantt Chart
- Minutes of meetings, meeting agendas
In addition to the above components, the groups will be assessed via their performance each week in the six (6) mock client-consultant meeting (CCM) that will take place from week 2 to week 7. Each member will be required to conduct a meeting on a rotation basis.

3. Project Procurement and Resource Planning (to identify the most suitable contract procurement for the project and planning of resources, organization structures to achieve project deliverables)
4. Risk Analysis, and Maintenance Strategy (to achieve the identified success criteria and project deliverables). This must be in a table format.
5. Success Criteria, WBS, Gantt chart (showing the measurable success criteria for the overall implementation strategy, analysis of critical paths, floats plotted against time). This chart will highlight Project Deliverables.
Submission: A bound A4 report (LANDSCAPE orientation) including drawings, charts, diagrams, photos documenting the project.
