Assignment title: Information


Using the case study "Managing Projects in Decentralised Organisations: Tracking Humanitarian Fleets" Answer one out of five. All questions carry equal marks. Using the case study, discuss the challenges of project management in a decentralised (humanitarian) organisation operating in an atypical (developing) context. Using the case study, discuss why the pilot project was successful and why was this success not sustained during the rollout? Explain the criteria you would use to assess the success or otherwise of the rollout. Produce a complete scope statement for the IHO rollout project using the information available in the case study and other sources. Discuss how developing a WBS could assist with problems that may be encountered in the IHO rollout project. Develop a work breakdown structure for the IHO rollout project that contains one level of details. Discuss why managing risks is important for increasing the chances of projects success. Identify four major risks that may affect or has affected the IHO rollout project. Using a Risk Management approach from the literature, produce a risk management plan for these four risks. Discuss the leadership challenges that Fred Mendez faced in the IHO rollout project projects and the importance of leading a project such as this and not just managing it. You should avoid making any additional assumptions. You should email any questions you have to your tutor. You can also use the start of the lectures to ask questions, if you wish. Answers and clarifications will be published on Blackboard. Once a clarification is made, it becomes part of the assignment – so make sure you look out for any changes in the assignment that may result from your questions.
