Assessment Guideline Answer the following providing analysis justified with relevant academic sources or company information: Section 1 [Learning Outcome 1 - 10 Marks] Case Study 1- Leading a Project as a New Project Manager Lee was a newly hired project manager at XYZ Ltd. She has previous experience working on project teams, but had never led a project on her own. She has only been with the firm for two weeks and has spent a week of that time in onboarding. Her manager, the head of operations, has just assigned her to a rather large project. The project is to evaluate the current processes in use within the organization specifically focused in two areas: new service development and client engagement. Lee was told to select who she needed to work on the project and reach out to the managers of both groups to get the project started. The Problem: While excited about the opportunity, Lee realized she had a few challenges ahead:  She has had no time to establish relationships within the organization  She knew very little about the effective use of project management tools and techniques including network diagram, critical path method and Gantt chart.  She realized that it may be difficult to engage the departments in the initiative given the project she was asked to lead  She was concerned about selecting team members when she did not yet know much about the others in the organization (their skills and knowledge and expertise) Lee needed to start the project fairly soon. She didn’t have the luxury of taking time to build relationships and get to know people before the project had to begin. Using the information provided in the case study, write a brief summary including the following: 1. Importance of having a project manager leading the project (1 mark) 2. TWO major leadership challenges faced by the project manager in leading the project (4 marks) 3. Analyze TWO fundamental project management responsibilities Lee has to undertake in leading the project to overcome the problems faced (1.5+1.5=3 marks) 4. Propose and examine any ONE leadership style of the project manager that suites best to the challenges faced by Lee (2 marks). Section 2 [Learning Outcome 1- 15 Marks Total] Case Study 1- Leading a Project as a New Project Manager Lee has been working on various project management tools and techniques to ensure the success in leading this project. Your task is to complete the following activities that will enable Lee to be better prepared to lead her first large project within the organization and to help her to overcome the challenges faced.
