PPMP20014 Complex Project Management

Question:

What is the scope of the problem?

1- Investigate the context and the scope of this waste management issue using all available published resources. You mainly need to highlight how wicked this problem is. This means using the complexity factors and ICCPM outcomes to link them back to the waste issue

2- Define the scale of the problem through defining the amount of waste generated in Australia, types of waste (paper, plastic, E-waste… etc.) and how this could be a challenge.

3- Discuss how it is managed right now, what percentage has been recycled, dumbed to landfill, incinerated, reused…. etc.

4- What are the risks associated from the current management practices?

5- The main stakeholders involved in the waste management. You may need to provide a Stakeholder matrix with full list.

6- Investigate the level of complexity of the current problem. You can use Delphi method or scorecard to estimate the complexity level. This need consulting your peers to get weights for each parameter and to rank them.

7- Evaluate the factors contributing to the waste management complexity refer to week 5 slides: Characteristics of complex project slide, Do you think the factors have same weights?

8- Draw radar diagram representing these factors and then another radar diagram mapping these characteristics into the four main complexity types (structural, technical, temporal and directions).

How to manage this problem?

9- If you are to manage this issue, you may need to optimise the management practices. Using minimum of THREE alternatives for management practices and the sub criteria for each, develop an optimisation multi criteria analysis tool.

10- List all possible sub criteria involved in these alternatives . Minimum of 5-7 sub criteria should be created.

11- Assign weights showing relative importance of these sub criteria using your own judgement in addition to your peers’ voices. You may need to provide a table a Table to show who are your peers, names, their actual weight Report.
