- An in-depth knowledge and critical appreciation of Operations and Project Management tools and techniques for various business planning and decisions within organisations.
- Effectively determine how Operations and Project Management can support the corporate strategic plan of an organisation, improve performance and implement change while using appropriate tools to support decisions and project planning.
You will produce a project plan for a suitable project for your work-place. If there is not much scope of developing a project plan in relation to your work-place, you must agree a project title of your choice and scope with your tutor.
The Project Plan will include the use of Project Management tools and techniques studied and discussed in the class. You will need to submit the project plan (along with relevant appendices and supporting documentation) as an Individual Report.
You should include the following:
• Project Introduction and Objectives
• Project team and their roles
• Project stages and key deliverables, with a discussion centered around the 4 D’s concept
• Project time management (Work Breakdown Structure; Activity List; Network Diagram and Critical Path)
• Project cost management plan
• Project Risk Log/Risk Register
