Question 6.1 Develop a one-hour presentation on project management
dynamics. Divide your paper into the following sections: (i) the process groups
in each phase of the project life cycle (5) (ii) with emphasis on (at least 5)
reasons why project management is regarded as dynamic. (15) [20] [NB:
Merely duplicating text will not earn marks! Provide clear brief explanation.
(part marks, each application 2 marks x 5 marks = 10 marks).] Question 6.2
The Letsatsi-5 project, which involved many technical specialists,
professionals, workers and managers and had to be completed within three
months, stalled due to numerous conflicts, costs and time overruns. In the last
conversation that the project manager had with the management, the problem
was accepted that behavioral problems such as leadership style, decision-
making and teamwork were the cause of the failure of many projects. Using
Hersey and Blanchards' (1982) Situational Leadership Model and Thamhain
and Wilemons' (1975) Conflict Management in Project Life Cycles. Address
the following: (i) Defend leadership styles you would use in the project (10) (ii)
Justify how you would resolve the conflicts (include sources of conflicts,
impacts and methods you will use) (10) [20] 2 PRO4801 ASSIGNMENT 6
2024 Question 6.3 Since the ABS project was crucial to the organization's
competitiveness, management could not leave anything to chance. As an
experienced project manager, your job is to ensure that key milestones are
achieved by developing the project charter and project plan (a.k.a project
execution plan). Address the questions about the project charter and the
project plan in terms of importance and relevance, as well as content (i) and
application (ii). (i) Defend use of the project charter and project plan in terms
of importance, relevance of key content aspects (15) (ii) Justify the extent to
which some content of a project plan may be used in small projects (5) [20]
[NB: Marks will not be awarded for merely duplicating or copying the content
of charter and project plan.] Question 6.4 Disappointment over the failure of
their previous project has taken root in the minds of senior managers at the
PACKS Technology Project company. They didn't want such an
embarrassment to happen again. As an experienced senior manager in a
project consulting company, you are tasked with managing the project. You
need to draw an AON network diagram and consider the project requirements.
You have the information in Table 1. 3 PRO4801 ASSIGNMENT 6 2024

4 G C 4 H B,D,G 3 J - 6 K J 10 M G,K 3 N H,M 6 Take note of the following
assumptions: • You have up to five people who can be assigned on any given
day. • A person must work full days on each activity. • The number of people
working on an activity can vary from day to day. You are required to do the
following: (i) Draw an AON network diagram and calculate the early times, late
times, and the total slack. (12) (ii) Determine the critical path and project
duration. (4) (iii) Using the time chart, prepare a daily assignment sheet for
personnel so as to complete the project in the shortest possible time. Also
mention by how many days the project could be compressed if unlimited
personnel resources were available. (4) [part marks: Gantt chart:2,
histogram:1, unlimited- Gantt: 1] [20] 4 PRO4801 ASSIGNMENT 6 2024
Question 6.5 Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of project definition, the
importance of user requirements (as quality at the source) and how these
requirements determine system objectives.

Question 6.1: Presentation on Project Management Dynamics

(i) Process Groups in Each Phase of the Project Life Cycle (5 marks)

The project life cycle includes several stages, each associated with specific actions organized
into process groups:

1. Initiation:
o Process Groups:
 Developing the Project Charter: This document officially begins the
project, outlining its goals, scope, and key participants.
 Identifying Stakeholders: It’s important to recognize all the individuals or
groups who will be impacted by the project to ensure their needs are
addressed throughout.
o Explanation: The initiation phase sets the foundation for the project. The charter
provides a formal starting point, while identifying stakeholders ensures that
everyone involved or affected is considered from the outset.
2. Planning:
o Process Groups:
 Defining the Scope: This step clarifies what the project will include and
what it won’t.
 Scheduling: It involves determining the timelines, task durations, and
dependencies between tasks.
 Estimating Costs: This process involves calculating the budget needed to
complete the project successfully.
o Explanation: Planning is crucial because it outlines how the project will be
carried out. Detailed preparation during this phase ensures that the project has a
clear direction and structure.
