Introduction
The following report is all about making a comparison between Queensland children
hospital and Perth children hospital. Queensland children hospital which is formerly known as
Lady Cilento Children Hospital that has brought various specialist on the same platform for the
given services in three of children leading facilities. This particular hospital comes up with
around hotel design that has around 359 beds and 12 clinical levels, which has more than 80,000
space of floor (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The new hospital is known to be hub of state of
paediatric network and is known to be leading specialist for healthcare services in whole of
Queensland. Apart from this, it can work as a central hub for the whole of state wide network
which is used in children based healthcare services. Perth children hospital is situated in
Nedlands, which is known to be part of design partnership between Urban designer and JCY,
Cox architecture (Meredith, Mantel Jr & Shafer, 2017). The complete design is done concerning
the respective of children that is new Perth children hospital that helps in replacing the current
Princess Margaret hospital. It mainly aims to provide the best the kind of solution for the
upcoming generation and serve as the base needed for outstanding research. The hospital is
mainly inclusive of increase in the outpatient along with day to day services (Schwalbe, 2015). It
is merely inclusive of operation theatre and intensive bed care.
In the coming pages of the report, an idea is provided concerning various kind of
differences between two project that is Queensland children hospital and Perth children hospital.
After that, a proper reflection has been provided concerning breadth and depth of two projects
with respect to quality principles and standards. After that a detail instruction has been provided
with respect to link to some of the global practices. The next section of report deals with effect of

project deliverable that is outcome and outputs. The last section of the report deals with list
lesson learned for similar projects in Australia.
Compare, Contrast and critique for two project
There has been increase in overall importance of development and intervention of
evaluation of complex intervention. The mere argument is all about drawing the attention of the
given task, which will increase the overall intervention of the task that will ultimately increase
the effectiveness of the trials. It is completely adopted on worldwide platform in the various part
of the world (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). Any kind of poor intervention might lead to
development that is mainly wasted by tax payer’s money may result in expensive trials which
will result in intervention for flow in the real world. Perth children hospital project is value to be
around 1.2 billion dollars that aim to supersedes for the old Princess Margaret hospital, which is
centre excellence for children and healthcare. In the functional form, it will provide 298 beds for
patient and 12 operation theatres. The hospital has been designed in such a way that it can easily
provide latest facilities in the domain of medical services (Heagney,2016). Two institutes that is

Reflection on bread and depth of global project quality principles and
standards
In both the projects, there is a need for engagement of various stakeholders. In the both
projects, the project manager comes up with workshop which will help in research in overall
development of intervention. It comes up with much wider number of stakeholders that is
inclusive of director for funding (Binder, 2016). It is very much important to understand both
breadth and depth of project right before just about project management methodology is used.
Prince2 methodology is completely underpinned mainly by seven principles, themes and
processes. Project outcomes are completely checked by analysing the benefits along with money
that is spent. It comes up with huge number of benefits, which is mainly against the cost (Lock,
2017). It comes up with successful delivery project that comes up with huge number of benefits

in comparison to cost. Prince2 methodology of project management aims to drive out every
phase of the project. It is mainly done so that desired benefits are expected within the expected
cost along with mitigating the overall risk. Seven principles of Prince2 methodology are
Continued business justification: The whole of given process is completely aligned with
the given objectives of the business. It comes up with huge number of objectives which is needed
for clear justification of current in project lifecycle (Sears et al., 2015). It an iterating process of
each of the step and makes the whole objective update.
Learning from experiences: The complete knowledge is gained from each of the stages
which is recorded irrespective of success and failure execution (Kerzner, 2017). The main cause
is mainly do identified for both success and failure of the project.
Defining the roles and responsibilities: Every phase of the project is completely
executed by staff members who are experienced. The main focus is all about identifying the
given task for the given project
Managing by the help of stages: Project management team need to look for every stage
of the project that is planning, transitioning and designing (Joslin & Müller, 2015). Project
boards need to accredit and project manager for the outcome of the project. It requires to provide
every step to the board.
Managing by exception: Each level management within the project comes up with the
freedom for managing the overall accomplishment (Hornstein, 2015). Team leaders aim to
manage their team where there can be influence from the end of project manager.
Focusing on project: Every step of the given project focus on the overall deliverable or
given product (Todorović et al., 2015). All kind of description of the product is completely based
on the given for associated activities like design and planning.

Link to global practices
Prince2 comes are seven major themes are
Business case: The business case document helps in describing the overall requirement
that is present need (Badewi, 2016). It is mainly needed for analysing the overall output, benefits
and outcome of the given project.
Organization: The main focus on the organization is all about representing the whole

Effect of project deliverables that is outcome and outputs
Prince2 model comes up with seven processes that is
Starting up a project: It is known to be very first step that comes up with four level of
project management team and its proper co-ordination that needs to be appointed (Fleming &
Koppelman, 2016). For this, both business case and beginning stage of the project needs to be
completely prepared.

10PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Initiation of Project: In this strategic decision is required where the complete plan of the
project is stated. In this, each of the project methods needs to be completely defined, analysing
the risk and assurance of overall quality of the project.
Directing of Project: Corporate management is all about directing the given project until
and unless it overseas each of the stages of the project. It merely requires proper execution
planning and approval of every stage for its overall commencement.
Controlling stage: Every stage of project is completely controlled and managed by the
project manager at the instance of taking proper steps. Project manager aims to make review of
the world of packages (Heagney,2016). Along with these, there is need for escalation of
identified issues and risk about the board.
Managing the delivery of project: Both teams of developers and project managers are
mainly responsible for delivery of unplanned products at every stay.
Project closure: This particular step is known to be last step of the project of developing
hospital (Walker, 2015). The complete activity is mainly done by the project manager after the
development of project evaluation and hands over of project.

The competition of the business is known to be as one of the major reason for most of the
project. The project manager needs to take into account risk management, period of project,
budget and changes in the requirement (Verzuh, 2015). It can easily have a direct impact on the
failure of the project. It is very much important to manage the current issues of business process,
which needs to be completely addressed. All the required change in the project are completely
broken down into required changes that are needed for managing and delivery. The most vital
methodology is all about addressing risk identification and understanding the control techniques
(Binder, 2016). The select project methodology needs to come up with a proper kind of budget
control. It needs to come up proper management of dynamic changes in the present environment
of operating business. Prince2 methodology is the most suitable one for the construction project.
The biggest plus point of Prince2 methodology is all about addressing the outcomes very after
the benefits, and the following stage is executed (Lock, 2017). One of the biggest steps of
