Let’s return to Woody who we first looked at in the MMA in Unit 6.
( http://www.maxwideman.com/papers/woody2000/intro.htm )
Woody has considered your report and has asked that you prepare another for him. Following on from your last report, he has been considering what lessons can be learned and has tasked you to prepare a report.
This report has two parts, please make sure both parts are completed.
The first part asks that with justification you:
 Advise how you would have planned the project given your choice of life cycle and methodology.
 Evaluate and recommend tools that you would use to plan the project.
 Advise what you would monitor including how frequently and what methods you would recommend to monitor and control progress of the project.
 Evaluate methods and make recommendations regarding how you would have approached bringing the project back on schedule.
 Advise how a project should be closed.
In the second part, he has asked you to summarise the role and the responsibilities of the project manager within such a project and to advise the key skills and knowledge required by a person to undertake this role so that he can minimise the risk of future project failure. Given the staff he currently has, would you recommend that he train internal personnel or contract out? If the latter, recommend what type of contract should be in place and why.
It is important to Woody that you justify your choices and recommendations with reference to best practice, theory and research undertaken into effective project management.
In this unit we shall:
 Consider the Project Manager’s role and responsibilities.
 Briefly evaluate some of the key skills and competencies which a project manager may need in practice.
On completion of this unit you will be able to:
 Identify key project manager roles and responsibilities.
 Evaluate the role of the project manager within the wider organisation.
 Evaluate key skills, competencies and knowledge which a Project Manager is likely to need to be effective.
