Description

This capstone project management course analyses the environment within which complex projects are defined and delivered, including organisational, political, financial and legal aspects: detail and dynamic complexity of projects are analysed through case studies, building appreciation of reasons for projects succeeding or failing and how major projects might be better managed. The demands of Parliament and Government with respect to corporate governance and impositions on the management of major projects. Economic and financial considerations in the determination of project viability are analysed. The law underpinning contracts is canvassed together with the design of forms of agreement, remedies available and options for dispute resolution.
