One of the best ways to learn is to analyze a case; a particular situation that exemplifies the issues, strengths, and weaknesses that are faced when actually managing a project. This is a proven learning tool shown to reinforce understanding, and the application of knowledge.
Calleam Consulting Case Study on Denver Int’l Airport Baggage Handling will be used to complete Module 7 case study analysis.Even though other Project Management Knowledge Areas will present themselves in the case, the focus of the case study analysis are the following three Knowledge Areas; Communications, Risk and Procurement management (PMBOK 10,11, & 12). Together these are important knowledge Areas because a project cannot be managed successfully without effective communications, risk management and mitigation, and timely purchasing of necessary supplies.
Framework:
Introduce the case and offer a summary of the issues and the main concerns in the case.
Explain how the issues and concerns could impact the success of the project.
Drawing from the PMBOK Guide (Chapter 10,11, & 12) and most importantly your knowledge and expertise of project management:
Critique how the case was handled.
1. What was done right, what went wrong, what could have been done differently, why, and how?
2. Explain what you learned about project management from the case. Include an explanation of how knowledge of the PMBOK (Chapters 10, 11, & 12) could have helped alleviate the issues in the case.
3. Offer solid and defensible conclusion(s) and recommendations.
