QQI Project Management Case Study

You work as a project manager for a large organization that operates out of a single campus. Due to recent expansion and lack of space on campus, a small remote office space has been purchased across town to house a newly formed team of 10 people. This is a product development team, and the Research and Development department are the primary driver behind the project.

The requirements for the new office space are that it be furnished and equipped to a similar standard to on-campus offices. The new office should be ready to go within two months.

You have done an initial inspection with the facilities manager and have identified the following broad requirements:

• The office is an unfurnished, uncarpeted shell.
• There are no phone or broadband connections to the premises.
• The electric wiring for the office is extremely old and a complete rewiring will be required.
• Facilities have already been cleaned and secured the premises, and kitchen and toilet facilities are adequate, but a common area will be required for meetings and group gatherings.
