Case Study: Strategic Project Management Made Simple: Practical Tools for Leaders and Teams; Strengthen Teamwork Across Functions, page 220.
Question #1 (100 points)
1. Were the Logical Framework success measures “SMART” when applied to the outcomes, purpose and objectives of the project? Describe how and why you believe they were or were not SMART for each element of the Logical Framework (outcomes, purpose, and goal).
Question #2 (100 points)
2. How would you rate (High/Medium/Low) the Logical Framework assumptions made about the project in terms of project risk for the outcomes, purpose, and goal of the project? How would you manage the highest risks identified?
INSTRUCTIONS
Answer the case study analysis questions concisely: An analysis must clearly and logically state your opinion in response to the questions. You must provide evidence to support your opinions. This can be done by providing examples and citing authorities to support your opinions.
Analyze Cogently: Start by making every word count! The high information density will help make every sentence have meaning. Put sentences together so that the paragraph ends with the point you want to make. Put paragraphs together so that the analysis delivers your focused opinion clearly. (An outline will assist greatly in this regard).
Examples of comments you might make as part of your critical analysis are:
• “The Logical Framework success measures were SMART because…”
• “The success measure for outcomes was not SMAT because they did not meet the time standard, for example…”
Submission Requirements
The analysis should be no more than two (2) pages of text. Use Times Roman font in 1.5 with double space. Include your name, date, course name, professor’s name, and assignment on the cover page.
