PROJECT MANAGEMENT2
Introduction
The main aim of the assessment is to identify the importance of project in the fields of the
Auckland organization. Auckland transport is considered as the largest hub of transportation in
New Zealand. However there is a huge problem faced by the people of New Zealand that is the
existing traffic congestion problem. The report will focus entirely on determining the essential
project management factors that can provide better support towards the Auckland organization.
Auckland Transport is responsible for commuting around 74% of trips. It has been observed that
due to increase in number of immigrants, the Auckland overall population has increased by 50%.
Thus it is becoming difficult to manage the overall congestion ratio.
Question 1:
a. Project management is referred to the practice of organizing all the key components
associated with the developing a project. Project management mainly focuses on using
proper knowledge, tools and techniques for the purpose of meeting the key objectives of
the project. Before executing a project it becomes essential to ensure that the cost and
time factors are determined at the early stage so that it becomes easy to ensure that the
project has been executed successfully. With proper knowledge of project management it
becomes easy to improve the way projects are carried out (Kerzner, 2017). This also
ensures that all the key objectives are obtained while developing the project. According
to the statistical survey NZ projected that around 38% of NZ population will be there in
Auckland by 2031. However it has been observed that there is a huge rise in population
of the Auckland that is impacting the way of living. Due to increase in population it has

been observed that the numbers of passengers are also increasing widely. This is further
hampering the different transportation facilities. The main reason of failure of Auckland
transport system arouse due to wrong estimation of the cost and plan. The main issues
that are identified include worse traffic congestions and choked roads. The traffic
gridlock has the potential to hamper the economy along with the productivity. Auckland
needs to develop a proper share of public transport that will be able to provide better
transportation facilities towards the citizens. With an enhanced transport system it will
become easy to reduce the traffic issues. Auckland transportation needs to apply proper
project management knowledge towards the way transport facilities need to be managed.
It is important to ensure that every aspect is fulfilled properly so that the chances of
budget overshooting can be reduced. Project management knowledge is important for
managing different components of the project (Kerzner, 2017). This will help in ensuring
that every aspect of the Auckland transport system has evaluated efficiently for the
purpose of mitigating the issues.
b. The main issues that were faced by Auckland transportation include the chocked roads
condition, worsening congestion and traffic jams. Thus there is a need to ensure that the
proper project management skills are being used for the purpose of removing the
problems that are identified within the Auckland case study. The project management
skills that are needed for removing the issues includes proper scheduling, proper risk
management control and enhancing the communication process properly so that the
transportation process can be enhanced (Spoonley et al., 2019). Before execute any
project or preparing and enhanced transportation system it becomes essential to ensure
that proper project management skills are integrated within the system properly. With
