This is a real case. I collaborated with a former PM student who worked at a major energy company – he was responsible for the construction and comissioning of airstrips in his location. Think of the multiple projects (airstrip comissionings) as a Program.
Although this is a very real case, to protect privacy, we completely re-imagined the geography. This takes place in a fictional island country called Hy-Breasal.
To succeed in Individual Assignment 2:
Read the case. We have made it easy, and even a little exciting (?we hope?) to read.
Understand the decisions that have to be made at a program/portfolio level and put yourself in the shoes of the main character – don’t think like a PROJECT manager, focusing (only) on cost, scope, and time alone, but rather on the overall organizational value that you want to deliver.
Use the guideline questions at the end of the case to create a Managerial Report, with assertions that you cite and for which you provide APA-style references. You are expected to read these questions carefully, and provide thoughtful, researched, answers to these questions, seriously imagining yourself in the role of the Program Manager, Maechelle, as you do so.
A grading rubric will be provided that illustrates how you earn points on this assignment.
Here is the case:

Length: This is a new case, so I don’t have good examples, however, I would expect that the Managerial Report would be no less than 4 pages and no more than 10 pages, not including ancillary pages such as cover, table of contents, references, appendices. You can use Appendices to support your assertions (for example, figures or tables related to airstrips in other countries). However, if the figures or tables fit “in line” in the text, that can be more ‘friendly’ to a reader. I prefer if you would use a basic font such as Arial, Calibri, Georgia or Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. Make sure you cite references to support assertions that you make.
The spreadsheet shown in the document can be used to toggle the numbers and to try some “what if” scenarios.
