Project Management for Engineering Management

An individual project report of no more than 12 A4 sides that directly addresses the aspects shown below – pages above 12 will not be marked (LO 2-5) (90%).The individual project report (90% of total mark) is purely theoretical, based on the case studygiven below. The assignment is to produce a development plan report containing the following clearly identifiable sections (breakdown of marks/section indicated): a) To take the appropriate Client Requirements Document (see below) and use the information within it to produce a Project Requirements Document in engineering terms; (15%) b) A distinct list of project deliverables; (10%) c) From the PRD you will produce a Work Breakdown Structure that shows activities required to take the project from its’ current state to a point at which it could be implemented; (20%) d) An estimate of the resources required to complete the project; (15%) e) You will then work out the logical sequence of events, assigning dependencies to produce project planning documentation (GANTT & PERT charts) clearly showing all of the pathways identified and clearly indicating the Critical Path; (20%) f) Finally you will carry out a detailed Risk Analysis assigning likelihood and impact scores,identifying priorities and mitigation options for each risk. (10%) g) The Structure and Readability will be assessed and a standard format should be adopted with the following sections: (10%) i. Introduction and brief description of the client’s requirements. ii. Project requirements iii. Work Breakdown Structure – you may find it useful to provide WBS, GANTT and Resources lists all within this section iv. Deliverables with dates v. PERT Chart with clearly identified critical path vi. Project risks and mitigation options vii. Summary and any conclusions viii. References for theoretical models used in production of the report This report should use the IEEE referencing style where you have made use of theoretical models or need to attribute images. The university takes a strong stance on identified instances of plagiarism see Statement of Assessment (SoA), so please ensure you have accounted for all sources.
