EPM5600 - Project Management Principles: Case Study of ProCon Services

This presentation delves into the application of project management principles, using a case study of ProCon Services Australia. It covers critical aspects such as project tracking and reporting using metrics like cost and schedule variance, detailing different types of status reporting (executive, program level, project team, and individual contribution). The presentation also explores the impact of leadership behavior on the project, emphasizing qualities like visioning, decision-making, communication, and team building. An analysis of the existing team environment, project risk factors, and potential improvements in project performance are also discussed. The presentation concludes by summarizing key findings related to project tracking, status reporting, and the impact of leadership, referencing relevant academic sources.

Introduction
• Presentation would cover the aspects of using principles of project
management.
• Case study of ProCon Services Australia would be considered for the
assignment
• Implication of the analysis activities would be deployed for easing the
completion of the project
• Project tracking and reporting, leadership behavior on project, and
project risk analysis for the case study would be done in this
presentation

Project Tracking and Reporting
• Tracking and Reporting project performance using diverse metrics like cost
variance and schedule variance
• Cost variance can be helpful for forming the study of the variation in cost
by the help of the data collected from the cost expectations
• Schedule variance would help in easing the analysis of the variation in
schedule from the scheduled plan

Detail Status Reporting
• Status reporting is developed for easing the analysis of the project implication and execution
of the project operations
• Project status reporting is helpful for extending the implication of the improved analysis of
project activities
Types of Status Reporting are,
• Executive Status Reporting
• Program Level Status Reporting
• Project Team Status Reporting
• Individual Team Member Contribution and Status

Leadership Behavior on Project
• Project Leadership is helpful for the implication of the improved
communication and development factors
• The qualities of the leadership that have impact on project are
visioning, decision making, empowering, influencing,
communicating, strategizing, and team building
• Being the project manager, it was important for listening to the
project team members also
• Proper Training of the staffs would be required for ensuring that
specialized data cabling can be attenuated

Existing Team Environment
• Existing Behavior of Project Team is dependent on the work
responsibility and alignment of effective team works.
• Tony had left the company abruptly and hence, it was needed that
project would be deployed for listing the alignment of the activities
• Team would require the implication of the activities supporting the
implication of the operations

Project Risk Analysis
• Risk Analysis would be done for ensuring the implication and the utilization of the activities
and implying the operations
• Implication of the improved risk analysis would be required for the deployment of the
effective alignment methods
• Risk factors for the project result in forming the major problems for the execution of the
project activities

Improvements in Project Performance
• Project Performance can be improved with the implication of the effective continuous
improvement plans
• Project Performance analysis can be helpful for forming the alignment of the improved
communication and listing the utilization of the activities
• Improvements in project would be helpful for supporting the listing of the activities forming
the support and development

Conclusion
• Tracking and Reporting project performance using diverse metrics like
cost variance and schedule variance
• Status reporting was developed for easing the analysis of the project
implication and execution of the project operations
• The qualities of the leadership that had an impact on project were
visioning, decision making, empowering, influencing, communicating,
strategizing, and team building
