Identify at least three (3) different project management methodologies (Models) and critically assess these for their suitability to achieve a successful outcome for your selected organisational project. Use contemporary literature to support and justify your choices. c. Use your critical assessment to recommend and justify one methodology as the most suitable, remembering to: · Critically analyse how your selected method will help to achieve a successful outcome for your chosen project. · Take into consideration the suitability/inclusion of the Iwi/Maori values for undertaking the project within the Aotearoa New Zealand context. · Use contemporary literature to support and justify your recommendation. d.

Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Management/ Master of Applied Management Page 3 of 4 AM804001: Project Management: Assessment 1: 2023 Appendix 1 Case Studies 1. Covid has meant more online learning development. To answer this Otago would like to develop an online simulation game for our Construction management course. The course covers many aspects including: · Planning and managing of construction projects · Site logistics and project management (managing time, costs, quality and client satisfaction) · People management and negotiation skills, and · Construction business management. and must include the ability to run simulations as though students were constructing a supermarket and a block of flats within the site. The site needs to be able to provide access for a class team of three, two students and one lecturer, but also upto 100 teams online at once. It also needs to include real time chat utility as well as videoconferencing porta for collaboration. You will need to include security that works for multiple teams using the system concurrently and provide online training as part of the project. The system will also need to be a repository for past learning and a page to guide Iwi/Maori practices. Sustainable practices also need to be included as prompts in the site, and a homepage mock-up also needs to be included in your planning. 2. Industry relationships is an important part of the OPAIC philosophy, and as part of ongoing development an applied research conference is being planned for all staff from the three campuses (both academic and management staff), and all research active students to showcase current and recently completed industry projects to our industry partners. As such the academic staff, any operational staff that have research as part of their role, and all research active students at the three campuses will get together during term 5 in 2021. The three-day conference will be held in Hamilton and will showcase both previous and current industry projects. There will also be separate sessions for individual schools to run specific research with question-and-answer sessions as well as workshops where industry partners can discuss their future staffing needs. The conference will include best practice in Iwi/Maori collaborations, and on the second evening a Gala dinner is to be provided with speeches from key OPAIC leadership. A run sheet for the 3 days needs to be included in your planning. The OPAIC leadership have requested a high-quality conference, however, due to budget restrictions there needs to be a justification for your choice of venue. 3. OPAIC are going to start their Master of Computing degree at our Auckland campus and we will be investing a lot of money into this project. As such there is a need to renovate levels 7 & 8 to accommodate this. Level 7 will require state of the art computer facilities, each housing 24 students, including one lab where computer hardware can be built and networked. Level 8 will be more of an open, informal study centre where students will have access to quiet areas and group areas to work on projects. All rooms should be to the same standard as current OPAIC rooms, however there should also be the ability to provide VR practice in one of the rooms. As with all OPAIC buildings, sustainable building practices and ‘green building’ principles are to be used and construction is only allowed in the OPAIC holiday period. The facilities need to be available for Term 2 2022. The building is owned by an Iwi/Maori organisation which will need consideration. A draft layout also needs to be included in your planning.
