Engineering Management Project Assignment

Engineering Management Project Assignment
You (and a partner if you chose) will evaluate the success/failure of the Woody 2000 case study.
You will develop a debriefing report that should be handed in as an executive memo/executive
briefing, addressed to your manager. It must include (at a minimum):
– Summary problem being solved, goal, and a brief synopsis of key facts.
– Responses to all of the questions posed in the case (from pages 11-14 of the case study
document). You must also provide supporting facts, concepts, tools, and reasoning to support
your responses to each question. Your response itself is not sufficient. You need to include any
charts, calculations, figures you may develop as per the requirement(s) of the question.
– What tools/concepts did the project team used properly and why you think so?
What tools and concepts were used in the case? Do you think these tools/concepts were
appropriate and why you think so?
Brief reflection on the tool(s) and/or concept(s) used in the case.
Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
– Outline what you may have done differently if you were the project manager in charge of the
project and what tools/concepts would you have applied and why.
What additional tools/concepts would you include in this project and why?
Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
– Recommendations and the rationale for your recommendations.
Was the project goal achieved? Why/Why not?
What are your ideas for next steps?
Supporting arguments and analysis that lead to your rationale.
Remember: Your opinion does NOT count; your responses, recommendations, and actions, and
the support that your analysis provides to support them.
