1.1. Obtain a macro perspective of the PRO4801 module. Explain the framework
of this module (the 6 topics and 20 study units in the study guide) in your own
words. It is very important to remember and indicate the operations
management context or perspective of projects. (12)
The PRO4801 Module Macro Perspective
This module, PRO4801, is Project Management (Honours) as taught by the
Department of Operations Management. It is full online and hosted via myUnisa with
the primary aim of developing the students' minds with respect to the philosophy, the
profession, and the competency areas concerned with project management. The
entire process has been designed to familiarize the student with the wealth of
knowledge and skills for managing projects in the context of operations management.
Module Framework: Six Topics and Twenty Study Units
The Module Overview and Learning Outcomes of Assignment 01 give us clues about
how the module framework will be understood. Inferring from these, we probably have
a logical sequence through some of the core elements of project management, likely
with the undermentioned broad areas in mind with regard to the context of operations
management.
The first area is that the module is very likely to commence with the fundamentals and
philosophy of project management. Here, we expect to establish the differences
between project management and operations management-the salient aspects of how
projects are temporary and specifically goal-, budget-, and time-saving-to process-the
different phases involved in defining, determining the need for, and managing projects
by the plethora of characteristics inherent in these endeavors as opposed to other
operational aspects. The evolution of project management and its applicability across
domains, especially that of new product development, construction, service, and the
public sector, might also be explored. Given the module and its naming and the fact
that it belongs to the department, that foundation will probably compare and
contextualize that knowledge on the principles of operations management-the need
for and adoption of projects within existing operational systems.
The second area is that the module will have a systems approach to project
management. It sees a project as a sum of interrelated elements that contribute to a
common goal. Above all, it helps the understanding of project in total system, including
