SPM22104 Sustainable Project Management Project Brief

Project Brief

This project brief applies knowledge acquired from “Sustainable Project Management” to a practical, real-world scenario. This provides an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of project management theories and concepts, apply them to a hypothetical case, and develop essential professional skills in report writing. 

Part One: Report for ESF project

You are a project manager planning the delivery of a new environmentally sustainable building/product/service. The building/product/service emphasises Environmental, Social, and Financial (ESF) criteria throughout its delivery, development, and life cycle. You will produce a report showing how your project meets aspects of ESF, including: Stakeholder Analysis, Life Cycle Analysis, Financial Sustainability, Supplier Assessment Matrix and Risk Matrix.

The report must be written using Times New Roman font (size 12) and double-spaced, with incorporation of images/diagrams/tables where appropriate, with a limit of 2,000 words (excluding title page and references). Harvard Referencing citations are required.  

The assignment must be submitted in Microsoft Word format. Please conduct a preliminary plagiarism check using Turnitin software before the final submission on Canvas. 

Part 2: Process Map Video Presentation

Students should develop a detailed and comprehensive process map using a digital project management tool such as MS Project. The process map should visually represent project workflows, resource selection, waste reduction, community engagement, and sustainability within project management. The process map explains the individual product/service/building and shows how it contributes to sustainability, and efficient project management should be uploaded as a YouTube link at the end of the report. The video presentation should be no longer than 10 minutes.
 
The following guidelines can be used to develop the presentation:

• Select a digital project management tool that supports process mapping.
• Outline the project's objectives, deliverables, and sustainability goals.
• Break down the project into its core processes and sub-processes that need to be managed sustainably.
• Use the digital tool to visually represent the sequence and interaction of processes.
• Identify areas within the process where sustainability can be integrated, such as resource allocation, stakeholder engagement, waste management, and others.

Identify where digital tools and technologies can enhance the sustainable management of the project.

Assess the process map for comprehensiveness and consistency, ensuring it captures all aspects of sustainable project management. 

Conclusion:

This project enables you to apply appropriate digital tools for project management and for the specific project processes. To assess sustainability (Environmental, Social, Financial) criteria with a focus on the creative businesses. To analyse and assess the project needs, appraise, and apply the appropriate strategies to integrate sustainability into the core functions of a project. Good luck!
