A. Project Selection and Portfolio Management (15 Marks)

Afterwards, advise the company about which screening module you suggest using for the project selection (e.g., checklist, simplified scoring, analytical hierarchy, profile) and critically justify your recommendation Finally, give recommendations to the company on how to effectively manage a project portfolio and explain why (e.g., you can use the project portfolio matrix or any other relevant frameworks or theoretical models to support your argument).

Please note, for this task you have to have to study the company of your chosen scenario and give them general recommendations on how to select projects and manage a portfolio of projects. You do not need to focus on the specific project presented in the scenario.


B. The Organisational Context (15 Marks)


This part of the report focuses on the specific project presented in your chosen scenario.

Based on your previous discussion of the company’s strategic goals and directions, critical discuss how, in your opinion, the project is linked to company’s strategic choice (you can use the TOWS matrix, or any other relevant frameworks or theoretical models to support your discussion).

Once the link between company’s strategy and project has been defined, recommend the organisational structure (i.e., functional, divisional, project, matrix, hybrid, network or any other relevant organisational structure) that the company should adopt to increase the likelihood of 
success of the project. With the support of academic literature, critically discuss what would be strengths and weakness of the recommended organisational structure and the impact on the project.

The next step is to give advice about the best way to make decisions within the project. In order to do this please note the following:

1. Compare advantages and disadvantages of two project management governance frameworks of your choice 
2. Give recommendations for the chosen two (discussed above) project governance frameworks and which one would work better for your scenario Critically justify your choice with the support of academic literature

3. Give recommendations for which governance institutions have to be created to successfully manage the process and critically justify your recommendations with the support of academic literature or/and similar case studies.


D. Leadership (10 Marks)


Evaluate the role of the project leader in the project of your selected scenario and with the support of academic literature discuss how the role of this project leader would make this project successful.

Once you have discussed the role of project leader, give recommendations as to how project champions can support the project of your selected scenario and critically discuss what would be the best way to manage those project champions. Your arguments must be supported by academic literature.


E. Advanced Planning and Scheduling (15 Marks)


To support the delivery of the project of your chosen scenario you must:

1. Compare advantages and disadvantages of two project management methodologies of your choice (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, Prince2)


2. Choose one project management methodology (between the 2 discussed before) that best suits your chosen scenario, and critically justify your choice. Support your arguments with academic literature and references to other similar real-life projects.


F. Managing and Leading Change (15 Marks)


Give advice to the company of your chosen scenario about how change management can be incorporated into the project in a structured manner, and how to involve people affected by the project in the change management process. Support your arguments with academic literature and references to other similar real projects.
