POST MODULE ASSIGNMENT (PMA) BRIEF
 
This post-module assignment is designed to enable you to apply your learning from the topics covered on the module and from your further reading. You are expected to demonstrate your understanding and application of the theories, frameworks and tools covered in the module by applying them to a project or programme in the public domain.
 
For the PMA, 20 marks are awarded for ‘Effort and Presentation’ along the lines outlined in the MSc Marking Brief, and 60 marks are for ‘Comprehension and Analysis’. (see the Example Marking Criteria Grid)
 
The work should be presented and formatted as a report with numbered headings and sub-headings and a Table of Contents. There should be clear ‘Introduction’, Body of the Report and ‘Summary and Conclusion’ sections.  Please use the Harvard (or APA) style of referencing.
 
Word Limit: – There is a word limit of 3,750 (+/- 250) words for this assessment. You will be credited for staying within the tolerances of this word limit.  Additional words which dramatically exceeding these tolerances may not be marked.
 
QUESTION 1:
Research and analyse the conduct of ONE of the following high-profile projects/programmes:
 
a)  BBC W1 Programme (both Phases 1 & 2) OR
b) UK Home Office e-Borders Programme (2007-2014) OR
c)  Hong Kong Pearl River Delta Bridge Project (also called the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge
     (HZMB) – 2008-2019)
d)  The FiReControl Project (2004-2010),

Then:
(a) Prepare a brief but systematic analysis of your chosen case study, and in this context critically discuss
and analyse what is meant by ‘successful.’ It is expected that your work will include examples from the case study and reference to academic literature. Argue with justification whether the project/ programme you
 have selected was OR was NOT successful.                                                                                                  (10 marks)
AND
(b) Critically analyse and discuss some (4-5) of the factors or practices that contributed to this outcome (successful/not successful). To what extent are these a result of good/poor project/programme strategy? Support and justify your answer with examples from the case study and theory.                                (30 Marks)
AND
(c) Evaluate and recommend how utilisation of programme or project ‘best practices or theories’ in project/programme strategy either contributed to the success or might have assisted in avoiding the problems.
                                                                                                                                                 (20 Marks)

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 
On completion of this module, case studies, exercises and assessments students should be able to:
1.       Know, comprehensively understand, and operate within the context in which programmes and projects are initiated,
2.       Know, understand, and apply the principles, practices and techniques that underlie successful multi-project and programme management strategies,
3.       Be able to critically analyse the theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding of the multiple human, systemic and operational factors that influence the initiation and governance of projects and programmes.
Have knowledge, understanding, and the ability to systematically apply the methodologies and tools used in multi-project and programme management strategizing.
A good PMA generally requires you to answer the question and to include
 
1.          A title, with your student number, module, lecturer’s name and any other documentation required by the university.
2.          A contents page and if appropriate, an abstract.
3.          An introduction which acts as a ‘map’ to the rest of the document, describing the aim or purpose of the work and explaining how this aim is achieved. At this point it is usually helpful to paraphrase your conclusion.
4.          Evidence of an appropriate level of background reading of relevant texts.
5.          Evidence of systematic and clear thinking, indicative of good planning and organisation.
6.          Writing which makes sense, is clearly and carefully presented (proof-read and grammar checked).
7.          A critical style of writing which compares and contrasts the main theories, concepts and arguments with conclusions that are based in evidence presented.
8.          High levels of accurate academic referencing.
9.          A logical and well-defined structure with headings and subheadings.
10.      Clearly labelled and well-presented diagrams and other graphics that are discussed in the text.
11.      Adherence to usual academic standards including length and a timely submission.
12.      A reference section in which every source that is cited in the text is listed.
