Your task for this assignment

• Your initial task is to carry out a survey of the literature* on projects as complex adaptive systems to inform your review. You are looking for contemporary and seminal literature on this topic projects as complex adaptive systems which is relevant to the sector of your organization/project types.
• In the format of a report, you will discuss this literature*, considering its strengths, weaknesses, and relevance to your organization’s projects.
• Also, in the report, you will make a recommendation on how the literature* on the topic can inform the organization on its delivery approach to managing projects. For example, would the nature of the project work suit a more structured or flexible approach?

Report structure

For assignment 1, provide the following:

Report cover sheet

Table of contents, List of Tables 

1. Introduction (150 words)
2. Organizational context (200 words)

In this section, describe the organizational and project context for which you are preparing the report. You can base this on a PMO with which you have the experience, or on a case study taken from the literature. Include details such as the type of projects, types of problems being experienced etc. Specify whether this report applies to all projects in the organization, a type of project in the organization, or a specific project. 

3. Literature review (900 words)

• You can support your literature review with tables and figures.
• Summarise, compare and contrast the literature* you have found which is relevant to these topics and the domain of the organisation/project/projects.
• Ensure you justify your choice of literature* (e.g., its legitimacy, date of publication, whether it has been peer-reviewed, and whether there is research supporting the concept or argument).

4. Recommendations (500 words)

• Based on your review of the literature, suggest the delivery approach that should be used by the organization’s projects (or a specific project). Justify your recommendation – what are the expected benefits from adopting the recommendations.
• You can support your recommendation with tables and figures to justify your selection and/or to demonstrate the use of the recommended tool or process.

5. Conclusions 

• Summarise your findings (i.e., what did you discover from conducting the literature review?). 

IMPORTANT:

• The focus of this assignment is on demonstrating an ability to find, summarise and discuss high-quality and relevant literature.
• This is not a critical analysis as you are not comparing the project’s actual processes to the literature. You are simply reviewing relevant literature for what may be useful to the organisational/project. Assignment 2 is a critical analysis.
