TASK 1: The role and purpose of projects within organisations
Projects support the delivery of organisational objectives. This task looks at the different types of projects that are
used by an organisation, the reasons why projects are used and the differences between projects and every day
activities.
To complete Tasks 1a, b and c you are encouraged to use well-chosen examples of projects and their application in
the workplace.
» TASK 1a
In your own words, identify the differences between projects and everyday activities.
(Refer to AC1.1 Identify the differences between projects and everyday activities and the Indicative Content for
this AC)

Basis Projects Everyday activities
Nature Projects are carried out for a
specific time and or irregular
basis
Whereas, everyday activity takes
place on a regular basis.
Results These are carried out to get a
unique or specific result(Kerzner
and Kerzner2017).
Daily activity of a business are
carried out to get the repeatable
results
Team working These are team bound and every
task is carried out in a team.
Team gets vanished on the
completion of the project.
These activities are carried out by
every person of the company on
their own. Every employee has
been assigned their work and
position. Even after completion of
the task given next work is
provided in everyday activities.

» TASK 1b
Explain TWO (2) reasons organisations use projects.
(Refer to AC 1.2 Explain the reasons organisations use projects and the Indicative Content for this AC)
INSERT YOUR ANSWER HERE:
Projects are being used by Casino because it provides a right path and schedule to the management of the
company. When a group works on a project together it allows all the team members to share their views
and ideas. It helps in giving motivation to other people who are working under the same team. Major reason
behind using project by casino so that all the resources in the best manner possible. It helps organisation in
tracking the risk and managing it in the future (Harrison and Lock, 2017). While a team start working on a
project together it helps the organisation because people in a group share their ideas to control the cost and
maintain the best quality of the work they are in to. Every project is prepared on some or the other task but
the major reason behind using it is to know things in advance and try to control it for future failures.
CMI 311 Page 4 of 24 Version 1

» TASK 1c
Projects differ in size, complexity and duration. Using examples, discuss the types of projects in an organisation by
completing the table below.
(Refer to AC1.3 Discuss types of projects in an organisation and the Indicative Content for this AC)
COMPLETE THE TABLE:
Type of project Explanation
Simple These projects are easy to understand and work on. Team members does not find it
difficult to work on such projects. As this are those works which does not require
higher efforts to understand and carrying them is easy (Kerzner, 2018). These are
close to certainty and team members know that there are always more chances of
success when they work on simple projects.
Complex These are the projects which require higher efforts and time. It is difficult to
understand the entire system under complex projects. Employees who work on this
kind of projects needs higher patience and more knowledge to make them successful.
Short term These are those projects which take few hours, days or weeks to complete. Time
duration to complete this projects is short. These are easy to start as this projects need
fewer approvals to get start and end. Cost involved in such projects is less than in
comparison to long term projects. It is easy for the management of the company to
keep a track record of all the expenses in short term projects. A spread sheet is
required to be prepared for estimating the overall expenditure occurred while
executing the projects.
Long term Long term projects are those which takes months or years to finish. To complete a
long term project it requires high infrastructure and resources. Generally top level
management of the company approves such projects. As this projects need higher
resources and many people get involved to take it to the final end. Expenses of such
projects can only be recorded through accounting software packages.

Stage of the project
life cycle
Explanation of project activities
Initiation This is the first step where value of the projects are being measured. Before
starting any project managers of Casino use two tools to know that they should
follow the project or not. Below are the two tools
Business case document: Need of projects are being identified, it gives a financial
benefit because of the estimation is measured before executing the projects.
Feasibility study: Through this step cost of the projects and goals are determined
and checked that it is beneficial for the company to pursue it or not.
Planning Planning is made to guide the team so that a path can be shown to all the team
members. A proper planning helps in knowing that what resources will be required
and it will also help in knowing about the finances and raw material. Proper
planning is the first step of success(Kerzner, 2017). It provides direction for
producing quality outputs and also helps in knowing how to handle the risk.
Implementation After proper planning has been done, it is really important to execute it properly. It
is carried out by assigning all the resources and focusing on making team members
to do their given tasks.

» TASK 4d
To ensure a project is delivered successfully it is essential to manage risks. Commonly used methods include risk
rating, risk management matrices, risk registers and targeted plans.
Using examples, outline how to manage risks which could impact the successful delivery of a project.
(Refer to AC3.4 Outline how to manage risks to the successful delivery of a project and the Indicative Content for
this AC)
INSERT YOUR ANSWER HERE:
The most common methods for managing risk are as follows:
Risk rating : Before starting any project chances of its success and failures are being determined by the project
manager (Martens and Carvalho, 2017). They rate the risk level on a scale to understand the amount the risk
that will be involved in carrying out the task. In order to assign rating to the amount of risk involved a meeting is
conducted to facilitate the rating to the assessment of risk.
Risk management matrices: Project manager of Casino uses the matrices at the time of assessment of risk. It
helps in decision making so that a project can be completed on time. It is a method which defines the probability of
any action that is being expected to occur. If it is known before that what is probability of success and failures of
project than work can be carried out more carefully.
Risk registers: These are the document which are maintained while carrying out work on a project. It is maintained
to track the issues and work positively on them. These are maintained at early stages of the project so that
everything can be recorder and tracked. Issues can be easily known and management can work on them. So as a
result, it will help in managing the risk.
Targeted plans: When a company has targets while pursuing any project than it should be targeted after
considering the risk factor. Every project has some or the other risk which is to be managed by company
CMI 311 Page 15 of 24 Version 1

TASK 5: How projects are monitored to ensure successfull delivery
By monitoring progress against defined aims and objectives, a manager is able to assess what is and is not
working.
