The Philosophy…
We are driven by and live through stories. Our memory is not a series of ones and zeros but a collection of narratives—it’s what makes us human. We use story examples to help us remember and solve problems rather than rely solely on theory written on pages.
Let’s get started…
Project A: Loxodonta cyclotis
Climate change is having a profound impact on both humans and wildlife, including African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) which inhabit the tropical forests of West Africa and the Congo Basin. While forest elephants typically travel within forested areas to find food and water, a severe drought this year has disrupted their access to vital resources. One family of 19 elephants, including several pregnant cows, urgently needs access to a watering hole. You are a project manager for Loango and Moukalaba-Doudou National Parks. The Gabon government has tasked your team with transporting approximately 2850 liters of water over 789 kilometers from the country’s largest freshwater source, Lake Onangué to ensure the elephants have enough water for their 3-day stay.
PMBOK Guide
For this and most projects, I will follow the Project Body of Knowledge (PMBOK 7th edition), using examples and resources that help reinforce ideas or techniques for project success and clarity.
Framework
I will additionally adhere to The Standard For Project Management and the framework outlined by ANSI (American National Standards Institute). However, I will also implement knowledge from other authors and professionals from outside the project management field such as mathematicians, psychologists, and economists with insightful information that has proved helpful to those leading teams.
Our Flowchart for this project will follow the below outline, starting with the initiating phase and finishing with closing.
5 phases|
Initiating | Planning | Execution
Monitor & Control | Closing
Each phase of project management is equally valuable and necessary. If you plan correctly but overlook the closing details, your project is likely to face challenges in the long run.
value
Projects are meant to create value, and this should serve as a guiding principle for our work. However, if your project falls behind schedule or exceeds its budget, its value may be significantly reduced.
domains
A project performance domain refers to a group of related activities essential for the successful delivery of project outcomes. These domains are interconnected, interactive, and interdependent, working together to achieve the desired results. There are eight distinct project performance domains.
Feasibility Study
Remember that the project’s purpose is to create value. The feasibility study examines the project’s elements to determine its success or what is often understood as a cost/benefit analysis. In our case, perhaps the most obvious thing we should consider is whether we should hire an outside company that could deliver the water on time and within budget.
