This Unit has introduced you to some of the concept related to people management in a
project context. Your individual assignment takes your learning further than these
lectures. This coursework provides you with an opportunity to research in greater detail
one (maximum two) of the topics related to the people management in a project
context covered in this unit. The working title for this assignment is:
“An investigation into the theory and practice of Leading, Managing, and Developing People in a Project Management context”. Two approaches:
EITHER use the “The Apollo 13” movie with strong people project management themes;
OR a case study based on where you work. Please put sufficient detail of the programme or project to support your assignment into an appendix, which will not add to your word count. This appendix will not add many marks to your assignment but its absence will certainly lose you marks.

If you choose to use your work then, because of ethics considerations, we require a supporting statement from your Line Manager stating that the organisation is content for you to use the organisation for this assignment, on headed paper. We will also have to sample a number of supporting statements to check that they are in order. Please let Lubica Strakova know if you require the assignment to be confidential.
