Week 5 Lecture
Presentation
From the presentation I learn that a project
can be accomplished successfully following
the best techniques. The best techniques can
help the companies to gain the desired
competitive advantage. The project
management team can work better
This presentation unit defines the simple
steps that are needed to analyse. During
execution of the project, the three steps
that are required to assess are the
sustained leadership, continuous
management, and the change management.
In the next step, the feasibility study is
performed by the business analyst. The
business analyst is required to assess the
business operations in terms of cost-benefit
analysis and system need. The business
analyst has been appointed to analyse the
current situation of the organisation. The
project management team must follow the
project plan. The project plan and his team
must follow the project team and the
feasibility report and based on that they
must accomplish the project operations.
The business analyst is responsible to
capture the rationale of the OPM. The
project manager is in charge of carrying out
the cost-benefit analysis and the project
risks analysis. The stakeholders can be able
to assess the budget of the project. The
feasibility study can assist them in knowing
the benefits the project will offer.

popular and can give them several benefits.
The project manager by following Prince2
can be able to start the project and can
continue the project following a proper
direction. The project manager must act
responsibly and must assist the
stakeholders. They must communicate with
stakeholders and must help them in need.

Week 7 Lecture
Presentation
From the unit I come to know that the project
objectives must be followed all the time, the
project methodology can bring the organised
structure, also they can perform those
efficiently
The project manager as well as the
stakeholders can be able to manage the
project method by following a suitable
project methodology. Prince2 is one such
methodology that can assist in completing
the project within the stipulated deadline.
The project methodology like Prince2 is
integrated with governance and policies.
The governance and policies can help the
project stakeholders to accomplish the
project in ethical means. The policies assist
them in continuous management. The
stakeholders of the project will have to
conduct the project in accordance to the
SMART objectives. The SMART objectives
will help them to conduct the project
activities within stipulated timeline, within
the specified budget.
