NETWORK PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Project management can be defined as the significant practice of planning, execution and
finally closing the team work for the purpose of achieving several goals and objectives and then
meeting the success criteria within a given time [3]. The main challenge of this project management
is achieving the project goals in the given constraints. The major constraints of the project are time,
budget, quality and scope. The following report will be outlining a brief discussion on a project
manager.
Discussion
1. PM Leadership
Project management leadership is important for the purpose of leading time within a
specific method. It is done within a given time [9]. After successful analysis of this case study, the
two styles of leadership of Jim as well as Bob are evaluated.
Bob is one of the senior workers in a firm and is working for more than 25 years. He is
experienced and comprise of an efficient style of leadership. However, recently a typical problem
has occurred in the procedure of project execution. Bob has decided to send carpenters to his house
for personal works, so that they work in the rainy season [7]. He wanted to motivate these
carpenters and he even took the decision without taking the consent of Jim. Hence, Bob has shown
the transformational leadership for the management of this situation. However, this is not at all
ethical as he was paying these carpenters from construction costs.
Jim is new in this firm and he has lesser experience and knowledge regarding PM works.
However, when he found out that Bob has sent the carpenters for personal work, he deduced the
situation as unethical. He did not take any action for stopping it [4]. Jim has thus shown the
situational leadership since he has taken the decision to talk with Bob or any other member.
2. PM Execution
The observation as well as analysis of this scenario or project progress eventually proves that
progress of this project was rough. There were several faults in project plan, which ended up in the
problem. The entire team of the project knew about spring and winter rains and thus the project
was not planned properly [10]. A proper knowledge or PM skills are needed in the case study for
getting a better result in this project. As the faults were not corrected, the other option was to
negotiate the payment rate of carpenters. Bob and Jim could have reduced the rate to a lower level.
