Project Management Overview: Fiona Stanley Hospital Project Case Study

This case study analyzes the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project, examining its deliverables, benefits, and strategic alignment. The project aimed to provide healthcare services closer to people's residences, with an estimated value of $2.5 billion over 20 years. The strategic alignment involved realistic development plans and financial blueprints. One specific project planning problem was the failure to identify critical dependencies and potential threats. Conversely, a good example of project planning was the design, which was anything but institutional, planning the largest single building project in Australia at the time. The project included 783 beds, research and teaching facilities, a rehabilitation center, and a green precinct, aiming to provide superior health services. The assignment also highlights the importance of considering mitigating factors for potential threats to the project's feasibility and the need for controlled project development.

1. The major deliverable of the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project was to deliver various
health care services to people closer to the place where they live (Dunne, Murphy and
Rohen 2016, 598). The estimated value if this particular project had been estimated to
be around $2.5 billion over 20 years. Besides this this particular contract had been
scheduled for being awarded in the year of 2010.
Benefits of the deliverables of the organization included the fact that they had attempted
to provide health care services to people at places that are near their places, they aim in
providing services to people who are unable to move at health care centres due to their
weakness or critical health situation.
Strategic alignment of the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project included various factors
including realistic as well as binding development plans along with financial blueprints are
considered as essential parts of the strategies (Li, Qun and Sweetman 2017, 120). Without
these plans there had been high chances of the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project to become a
sustainable economic activity which has the ability to generate the required economic,
ecological and social benefits.
2. The attempt of Fiona Stanley Hospital Project had been initiated in order to provide
better service to patients, there had been cases when patients had lost their lives due to
unavailability of health care centres, hence this initiative had been undertaken
(Michael, Hofmann and Towler, 2017, 1350). One specific project planning problem
that had been encountered by the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project is that they did not
identify the critical dependencies as well as difficulties that contributed in threatening
the feasibility of this particular project. They just concentrated on planning regarding
the benefit that would be provided to people due to the development of the heath care
institute (Kendrick, Iris and Bartram 2019, 162). They completely neglected in

planning the mitigating factors for the threats that would have been faced by the
project.
3. For the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project, stage two managing contract as well as the
facilities manager, both of them had decided to work together for the purpose of
ensuring that the hospital was built and completely ready by the month of December
of year 2013 (Dunne, Murphy and Rohen 2016, 598). A strategic alignment includes
the fact that the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project had considered controlled project
development to be a threat. They considered it to be worth exploring the benefits
provided by the project to people. A specific example of a good project planning in
the Fiona Stanley Hospital Project is the planning that had been carried out regarding
its design had been anything but institutional (Li, Qun and Sweetman 2017, 120).
They had planned the largest single building project that had ever been undertaken in
Australia at the time of its development. It had planned a huge complex consisting of
783 beds, extensive research and teaching facilities along with a rehabilitation centre,
all in one as well as a green precinct (Michael, Hofmann and Towler, 2017, 1350).
The major part of their outstanding plan was to open a genre of facility along with
health services that are superlative in nature for the purpose of serving people for
Australia.
