MAN 5401 - Semester 1, 2020: Apple Vale Project Case Study Analysis

This document provides a comprehensive analysis of the Apple Vale project, a case study assigned for MAN 5401, focusing on managing project scope and stakeholders. The assignment involves creating an outline business case (OBC) and a video presentation, simulating a project proposal for a treatment center in Apple Vale. The OBC details the project's objectives, benefits, potential risks (schedule slippage, budget shortfall, communication issues, and scope creep), and the proposed budget and timeline. The analysis includes a cost-benefit analysis, stakeholder considerations, and recommendations for successful project execution, such as weekly project tracking and effective communication. The project aims to construct a treatment center to address issues related to alcoholism, drug intake, and anxiety, with a focus on providing comprehensive patient facilities. The document outlines the project's feasibility, potential challenges, and strategies for effective project management. This case study provides valuable insights into the practical application of project management principles in a real-world scenario.

The main focus is on Apple Vale that is one of the coastal towns in Perth. It is found that
in apple Vale, one medium size resort named Anders reach is present and the place was utilized
for treating patient who faces issues due to alcoholism, drug intake as well as anxiety. The
charity of the organization named Tun Therapies created one proposal with the main of
demolishing the old building for undertaking the work of construction for the treatment centre. It
is found that the treatment centre “ARTC” helps in providing facility to the patients who are
facing a number of challenges due to alcoholism, drug intake as well as anxiety. The treatment
centre will provide proper facility of the patients including their accommodation, food and water.
In addition to this, other facilities like gym, car parking as well as spa is also present. While
undertaking the project, a number of assumptions has been made for successfully undertake
construction work within 10 months by using budget of around $900,000. Furthermore, cost
benefit analysis is undertaken for analyzing whether the project that is undertaken is feasible or
not. The ROI of the project suggests that construction of the treatment centre is quite feasible. A
number of benefits as well as dis benefits are also elaborated. Apart from benefits, it is identified
by few stakeholders that the cost for service will be quite high for the treatment centre which will
not be affordable by everyone. In addition, this, the risks including schedule slippage, budget
shortfall, communication issues as well as scope creep are elaborated. The project manager also
provides few recommendation’s according to which the project must be tracked on a weekly
basis for avoiding delay and budget shortfall. Moreover, proper communication between the
project stakeholder is necessary for achieving success and for resolving conflicts that occurs
during project work.
