Attributes Organisation A
Industry Technology Services
Company
background
Manufacture memory chips which are of high-tech and have high-volume
Location of the
organisation
Organisation A’s headquarter is located in the USA
Organisation size The organisation is a medium size company. The number of employees
works there ranges around 2100. Organisation A becomes popular in wafer
manufacturing in quick times. The wafer manufacturing company serves
clients all over the USA
Project scale The organisation is a medium sized company. Organisation A mainly
handles the small-scale projects. The management staff of the organisation
can apply small-scale project management to handle all the small-scale
project (Rosero et al. 2018). The projects and the development projects
characterised by the factors like the short duration, small team, size of the
budget, low person-hours, the balance between the time committed of
delivering the project and the time committed to managing the project.
Small-scale projects are common handled by large institutions
Business model Wafer manufacturing and wafer fabrication is the procedure that comprises
several sequential procedures to complete the electric as well as photonic
circuits. Examples are the memory chips found in optical computer
components and CPUs for computers. The main procedures associated with

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES
the circuit are- the electrical engineers design the circuit and design the
functions. Later on, they specify the signals, inputs, outputs and the
voltages required (Baruah 2015). These are the ones which are used for the
computer-aided design. This is utmost necessary for the layers to define
for the photomask production. The circuits’ resolution enhances rapidly
with every step of design. The wafers of Organisation A start out blank and
pure. The circuits are all built in layers in the clean rooms. Initially, the
photoresist patterns are photo masked in the micrometre detail onto the
wafers’ surface. After that, the wafers are exposed to short-wave ultraviolet
light, and the areas that are unexposed are etched away or cleaned.

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) s the set of practices,
and it facilitates the organisations to enhance the performance, key
capabilities and the critical business procedures. All the organisations come
up with certain capabilities. Organisation A too has certain capabilities.
The organisation A can be able to find out the best practices and can find
out the ones who are providing the higher performance (Puming and
Prasad 2016). Organisation A does not follow the standard processes,
assets and the job aids. The organisation has no established planning
procedures. Organisation A also faces difficulties while making plans and

7PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES
make adjustments whenever required. The CMMI model can help the
Organisation A to work on effectively.

Implementing
Project
Management
Methodology
Organisation A can improvise their business operations by implementing a
project methodology. The management staff must implement Prince2 or
PMBOK since they are widely known and most used project
methodologies in the world. Organisation A must appoint a business
analyst. The business analyst will carry out the feasibility study. He will
also carry out the risk analysis (Paetzold 2015). The project manager will
analyse the risk report, and by the risk, the report will prepare a project
plan. The project plan consists of the project activities that will be carried
out. The project plan will demonstrate the start date of the project, the end
date of the project, the total duration of the project. The project also
contains the project dependencies. After that, the stakeholders will be
assigned to the project activities.
Organisation A can implement the Prince2 methodology. The project
stakeholders will have to follow the project methodology; they will have to
carry out the project plan in accordance with the project methodology
(Smit 2016). This will save a lot of time of Organisation A, and they can
carry out the project activities with efficiency.
The employees currently working in Organisation A do not have the
expertise and skills and the knowledge of Prince2. They are not used to the
principles and governance principles (Murphy 2015). Organisation A will
implement the Prince2 for the first time; the management time will require
a lot of time to adopt the methodology. For this reason, they must follow
the project manager and his team; they will assist them to continue with the

9PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES
plan.
There are several benefits associated with the adaptation of Prince2 model.
They can be to work efficiently within time. The project stakeholders can
be able to complete every activity on time and within the scheduled budget.
The Prince2 methodology will help them to complete the entire project
within the scheduled deadline. Hence there is less number of risks of
project failure. Prince2 methodology thus can help them in the long run.

Prosci ADKAR
Model
Organisational Change Management involves the tools which can be used
to analyse how the scale change management activities (Smit 2016). The
tools also help to know how the project manager and the business analyst
can be able to bring the change.
Prosci ADKAR model can help Organisation A to implement the necessary
changes required to enhance the business (Refer to Appendix D).
The project manager, as well as the stakeholders, is responsible for
carrying out the necessary changes in the project. Prosci ADKAR model
will help to maintain steady growth of the Organisation A.

duration, low person hours (Rajabi 2015). The small-scale projects are also
dependent on the factors like the balance between the time committed to
delivering the project and the time committed to maintain the project
deliverables. Since Organisation B is a small company, so they handle all
the small projects
Business model They follow the BIM model. The Building Information Modelling (BIM)

11PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES
model is the digital presentation of the physical dependencies of a facility
as well as the functional characteristics of a facility. BIM is a shared
knowledge resource of the construction project during its entire life-cycle.
BIM model helps Organisation B to construct buildings that are of high
quality, safe, and in compliance with the sustainable environment. BIM
assists in the decision making, and it shows results by comparing the
functionality, scope as well as the costs of the construction concept (Wei
2014). The BIM also caters energy, environment as well as life cycle
analysis for comparing the designs. BIM visualises the design solutions.
BIM embellishes quality-assurance and the data exchange. The BIM also
helps them in improving safety at the time of the construction. It enables
the utilisation of the project and building of data in facility management.

The construction, as well as the construction products, are very important
for the European economy. Construction also represents the quality of
citizens’ life, as they spend a lot of time in buildings and other built
infrastructures. The workers working in the construction area wants to
reduce risks related to construction, they also want to maintain harmony in
the construction area (Kluy 2014). They also want to assure safety of the
workers for this reason they have decided to set Eurocodes. Eurocodes is a

13PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES
set of European standards. The project manager will have to ensure that the
Eurocodes are maintained appropriately during the time of performing
project activities.

Methodology
It can be observed that Organisation B by implementing a suitable project
methodology can be able to improvise the business operations of their
premises. They require to hire a business analysis; he will carry out the
feasibility study. It is the responsibility of the business analyst to carry out
the risk analysis. The risk analysis will assist them to analyse the
underlying risks within the project (Millard et al. 2016). After that, the
project manager will prepare the project plan which will consist of all the
project activities along with a timeline and the budget. The project plan
will show the project dependencies as well.
The Organisation B will be benefitted following the guidelines and the
policies of Prince2. The stakeholders need to carry out the project to
accomplish the project successfully. Prince2 or any other popular project
methodology must be followed (Vijay 2017). The stakeholders can be able
to finish the project within the stipulated deadline and the budget with the
help of Prince2. The project methodology comes with effective planning,
financial reporting, accounting and performance of the project.

Organisation B wants to enhance their business that is why they want to
seek help from the project manager and the business analyst. They propose
a project methodology. Prince2 adaptation can bring significant changes in
the organisation (Chandramouli and Dutt2 016). The change management
tools can help them to implement the new methodology.
Prosci ADKAR Model constitutes three phases. Phase 1 is preparing for

15PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES
Model change; phase 2 is the managing the change and Phase 3 constitute the
reinforcement of change. Phase 1 can be subdivided into defining change
management strategy, preparing change team, developing sponsorship
model. Phase 2 can be subdivided into developing change management
plans, taking suitable actions and implementation of plans (Refer to
Appendix D). Phase 3 can be subdivided into collecting and analysing
feedback, diagnosing necessary gaps and resistance, implementing
corrective actions and celebrate successes. In this way, Organisation B can
implement the changes.
The project stakeholders will carry on the continuous change of the project;
it will confirm the steady growth of the progress of the project.
