Case Study: Our Language is Important - CQU Project Analysis

This case study examines a project aimed at promoting indigenous languages, addressing the challenges of language extinction and the importance of cultural preservation. It includes a risk register that identifies potential threats, such as the decline in the use of indigenous languages due to external influences and the lack of resources for preserving them. The risk register outlines mitigation strategies, like promoting the languages within the university campus. A cost baseline is presented, detailing the project's expenses across various phases, including project initiation, requirement gathering, design, implementation, and closure. The funding requirements are also specified, covering vendor selection, signage design and installation, and printing costs. The case study provides a comprehensive analysis of the project's financial aspects and potential risks, offering valuable insights into project management and language preservation strategies.
