An environmental consulting firm has been hired to clean up contaminated ground water beneath the site of a former chemical factory

An environmental consulting firm has been hired to clean up contaminated ground water beneath the site of a former chemical factory. The cleanup design process consists of evaluating several alternatives; preparing a conceptual design for the most appropriate alternative; evaluating the conceptual design by performing a small-scale pilot test on site; and, based on the results of the pilot test, preparing a final design. Installation of the cleanup system will be performed by subcontractors under the supervision of the consultant. Prior to installation, the consultant will work on setting up the subcontracts by preparing specifications, prequalifying installation contractors, reviewing all bids, and executing the contracts. The installation will consist of the following phases: recovery wells, piping, treatment equipment, and start up.

The consultant will also be responsible for system-performance monitoring, which consists of sampling the groundwater, monitoring wells on a quarterly basis, and sampling the groundwater treatment-system discharge.

Prepare a work breakdown structure (WBS) for this project with activities corresponding to a two-level task and subtask hierarchy. Number the WBS codes so that the level of each activity is clearly identified. Do not worry about indentation.

One of the most traumatic decisions a project manager must sometimes make is to cancel a project.

One of the most traumatic decisions a project manager must sometimes make is to cancel a project. In an article titled “How to Fail In Project Management without Really Trying,” Business Horizons Reprint No. BH010, the following (whimsical but true) reasons that projects go out of control were identified:

1. Ignore the project environment, including stakeholders

2. Push a new technology to market too quickly

3. Don’t bother building fallback positions

4. When problems occur, shoot the one most visible

5. Let new ideas starve to death from inertia

6. Don’t bother conducting feasibility studies

7. Never admit a project is a failure

8. Over-manage project managers and their teams

9. Never, never conduct post-failure reviews

10. Never bother to understand project trade-offs

11. Allow political expediency and infighting to dictate crucial project decisions

12. Make sure the project is run by a weak leader

In this class, we’ve examined many tools and techniques for avoiding most of these pitfalls. Pick any TWO of these and discuss the specific steps that you, as a project manager, would take to anticipate and prevent such occurrences. (Points : 20)
