Questions of Project Management

11.4.06

LRCs, Closure vs Lifecycle, and Who/what/where

A student, who we'll call "Richard", sent us
more queries about the exam, sorry if they are obvious ones:

1. Are linear responsibility charts (LRCs) included on the paper? If they are, where can I find them in the notes?
2. Project Closure - Do the 'post-completion review' and 'post-project audit' occur at the end of the 'implementation' phase or the end of the 'operation' phase? I assume it is the former?
3. Could you confirm which chapters are yours and which are Matts?
1. Yeah right that's pretty obvious. Not saying.

2. Hmm, grown-up answer here: it depends! If the project carried on into the operational phase (some do, some don't) then naturally the business benefits analysis, i.e. the purpose of the post-project audit, would have to wait until at least a representative duration of the operation had occured. But if it didn't, it wouldn't. Post-completion review is most appropriate shortly after Handover or transition to Operations. But that could have been worked out, I think, so I'm not adding much value here am I?

3. Yes. I can confirm they all are. Either mine or Jane's.

1. LRC's are in the syllabus, I can say that much. There's a few paragraphs in the Chapter "Defining the Work", and it may even be in some textbooks.

3. Generally, I taught things on the Tuesday. So that's the Odd-Numbered Chapters: Tools and Techniques, Silly Diagrams, and Doughnut-related analogies and all other -ologies and -onomies. Jane did the legible handwriting and some of the -isms.

4. 2 err is human, to really fk up takes a computer.
