1 Case Study: New Age Constructions
New Age is a building construction organisation based in Bangalore. The organisation,
which was established in the year 2005, is relatively new in this sector. The activities of
the organisation are limited to Bangalore. There are a number of well-established
builders in Bangalore. Therefore, initially New Age found it difficult to obtain large
projects and undertook only small building projects.
However, recently, New Age has got a lucrative contract for building a large shopping
mall. The organisation finds the contract to be a stepping stone of its future success.
Therefore, it is striving to deliver the project on time and within the planned budget. The
organisation has hired Mr. Sinha as the project manager.
To carry out the assigned project, Mr. Sinha has emphasised on three principles of
project management including the principle of project strategy, the principle of team
building, and the principle of satisfaction. During the project, Mr. Sinha communicated
the relevant project information to all the team members. However, he did not prioritise
maintaining a thorough documentation of the entire project.
Seven months into the project, Mr. Sinha faced some major issues. He was asked by
the management of the organisation to provide a complete project report on a day-today basis. Moreover, it was also noticed that he used some extra human resource,
which affected the project’s cost management as well. Mr. Sinha did not even consider
the triple constraints of the project
Questions:
a. As a project manager of New Age, which knowledge areas and principles would
you like to follow the most?
b. Do you think considering the triple constraints would have helped Mr. Sinha?
Justify your answer.
A a. Summarise the various knowledge
areas and principles in brief you would
follow as a project manager of New Age
b. Give your opinion if triple constraints
would have helped Mr. Sinha
Provide justification for the opinion
