Assessment #2 - Project Analysis Report
Value: 35% Length: 1500 words
Assessment Description
The main objective of this project analysis report is to reinforce the importance of project definition and needs identification in the initial phase of the project life cycle. The success of a project is affected by the way a project’s objective(s) is defined, planned and managed. Unfortunately, successful project managers do fail; the key difference in strategic project management is that they learn from their mistakes. Project managers also learn from their successes and are constantly searching for new strategies to further improve their projects. In highly successful projects you are likely to find an excellent and valuable project team, a motivated project manager and a very efficient project structure.
This assessment is designed to lead you through the systematic analysis and evaluation of a project. Your role is to critically analyse one real project. It is important that you do not summarise what happened in the project but instead systematically analyse and offer critical comments and insights based on your understanding of project management.
The Project Search for a real project. You can choose a project that was completed successfully or one that was not completed successfully. We encourage the selection of projects related to your field of study (i.e. Health, Art, IT, Management, Aviation, Construction, Engineering, etc). However, you are free to select any project EXCEPT one of the following projects.
· New Royal Adelaide Hospital
· Adelaide Oval Project
· Adelaide Tramline Extension Project
· Beijing Olympics 2008
Instructions You are encouraged to search the Web for your selected project and to collect any information about the project, making sure to cover different viewpoints. This could include searching in newspapers, project management magazines, and journals.
Write a report that critically analyses how the project was planned and performed. The report should include:
1. Executive Summary
Brief summary of the report.
2. A
ief introduction to the project.
Provide an overview of the project you have analysed. This should explain what the project was and the context in which it took place. Also, include clear identification of the objective(s) and scope of the project.
3. A project stakeholder analysis.
Identify the key stakeholders and describe how they were involved/contributed to the project.
4. A
ief description of how the project was managed (e.g. strategy, key events, tools used etc).
Describe the implementation phase of the project. In particular, explain whether the project ran to plan – in which case explain the benefits of careful planning to the project manager. Alternatively, if the project deviated from the plan, why did this occur and what was the impact of these deviations on the project?
5. A critical analysis of the project outcome (i.e. the critical factors that made this project a success or a failure).
6. Conclude by reflecting on the project and your analysis. What did you learn? What good practices will you, as a manager, take from this to future projects? What activities would you not do in the future and why?
7. Recommendation/s to improve the project work in the future (based on what you have learned from this course).
8. References at least five references are required (i.e., website, journal articles, books, newspapers etc.). References are required wherever you have used the ideas from a source. For this assessment that might mean you only refer to sources where you have found information on the project and those that refer to theories and concepts covered in the course.
9. Appendices as appropriate.
Word limit for this assessment is 1500 words and should be formatted using 1.5 line spacing, Times New Roman font and a font size of 12pt. The word limit does not include the references, appendix or the executive summary. Guidelines on writing a report can be accessed at https:

Executive Summary
The following context will incorporate a critical analysis on the project management
processes of the Karntama Village undertaken by Decmil Group Ltd. It was formed in 1979
and is nationally known as the leading provider in engineering construction, maintenance and
industrial service to Australian resources, energy and infrastructure sectors. The overall
objective of DGL as a large service provider entails a reliable delivery of achieving unique
and cost effective projects – its main focus on village accommodation with the incorporation
of excellent quality and all round safety in order to maintain their impeccable reputation in
their field. Decmil was initially requested to design and construct the Karntama Village in
Western Australia by The Fortescue Metals Group.
In order to exert the relevant information on the project management dealings throughout the
development of the Karntama Village, a number of critical studies will be provided. Firstly,
the scope of the project is delivered in order to demonstrate the importance what the village
ings to the community, identification of the key stakeholders with their major roles and
esponsibilities in the development is identified and analysed, a vital consideration of
acknowledging the project management process is categorised, as well as the careful
inte
elation between the business and project strategy. In addition, a SWOT (strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis and a risk assessment are initiated in order to
withhold awareness of any unexpected conditions that may arise during a construction
development.
Finally, to conclude the analytical report, a clarification of the projects key phases and
success factors are conveyed to demonstrate the potential impact a project can have when
following the fundamental procedures of project management.
Introduction and Scope
The following context will incorporate a critical analysis on the project management
processes of the Karntama Village undertaken by Decmil Australia. Decmil Australia is
nationally known as the leading provider in engineering construction, maintenance and
industrial service to Australian resources, energy and infrastructure sectors (Decmil Group
limited n.d). According to Criddle (2011), the initial project objective is to design and
construct an accommodation village as part of Fortescue’s Christmas Creek Expansion with a
contract value of $137 million and a time constraint of twenty-one months. The requirement
in undertaking this project is formally confirmed by the two major stakeholders Fortescue
and Decmil. The deliverables of the accommodation village includes a 1600 double story
transportable accommodation units, which provides guests with communal dining facilities
and tavern, sports oval, a 100 seat cinema, an external ba
ecue and sports facilities, which
include a three lap lane pool, tennis
asketball court, gym, indoor cricket, golf driving range
(Karntama Village Christmas Creek XXXXXXXXXXThe major work performance is described in the
deliverables section will be directly performed by the stakeholders mentioned in the
following table.
Stakeholder Analysis
It is evident in any process of project management that stakeholders are a major key to the
development of a project in terms of the physical construction, financial funding or in any
way ‘exert influence over the project and its deliverables’ (Hartley XXXXXXXXXXThey have the
power and complete control to either contribute to the outcome of the project or benefit from
it. In terms of the major stakeholders that are involved in the development, they all have
similar traits in terms of contributing their time and resources into designing, shaping and
producing a highly recognisable accommodation area (Gido and Clements XXXXXXXXXXThe
following table demonstrates the major stakeholders that could be extracted from the
information, in which was analysed in terms of their nature as a stakeholder and their key
oles and responsibilities throughout the project.
