Case Study
Instructions to Student
These case studies are hypothetical situations which will not require you to have
access to a workplace, although your past and present workplace experiences may
help with the responses you provide. You will be expected to encounter similar
situations to these in future as you work in a project team environment.
In the real world you are likely to encounter the situation where you enter a
project, taking over from another project manager. The documentation that is
handed over to you is not necessarily up to scratch, and there could be serious
issues with the project. This assessment captures that real life scenario.
The case studies are the first part of dealing with “multiple complex projects”
required in all the units of this subject. The other assessment covering this
requirement is the practical assessment. When you have completed the case
studies you will be able to commence the practical assessment which covers the
generic skills needed to function as an effective project team member. This
assessment on the other hand covers the application of the underpinning
knowledge and background theory.
You will have access to a virtual company called Awesome Landscapes

Subject : Application for permission
I would like to bring your attention on the development of Cascade Peak Chalets
landscaping project. According to the project requirement and other aspects the
project will be completed within a year with an estimated budget of $650,000. Our
organization has been reassigned to undertake the project and accomplish that. In
order to support the resort and building construction mainly for enhancing the
tourism throughout in both summer and winter season our company has been
assigned. For completing the project we need social, economical and environmental
support as well from government. We are expecting that in order to avoid all the legal
risks the government support is very much important. Local commercial forestry
plantation support is the other one what we need from the government. Large scale
commercial support is required by the government. We need economical support
from your end so that we can meet the project objectives and project goals. We also
need commercial support for developing and designing the project. After the
implementation of each of the phase the outcome should be tested accordingly. It is
mandatory for the project manager to achieve the expected outcome from each of
the phase.
Though, we are expecting to obtain commercial revenue as soon as it will be
implemented but at the same time we are also expecting new contractors to be
procured. PMBOK project management methodology will be followed by the project
manager to implement the objectives. We need your support and legal documents so
that we achieve the reach the success line of meeting the demand of the consumers.
We shall be highly grateful if you grant our request.
Thanks and regards
Project Manager
