Topic When planning a project and estimating the expected duration of the component tasks, the productivity of the labour assigned to a task is an important factor. For project tasks (such as building a wall, interviewing clients for requirements, developing a software module or any other labour intensive, effort driven activity) the degree to which the manager accounts for labour productivity will influence the planned duration of the task.
Choose a significant task that relates to project work with which you have experience. A. Briefly describe the project and an appropriate task chosen from the project and explain the human resources that will be required for the task. (100-150 words – 5 marks) B. Define worker productivity (in the context of project work). (150-200 words -15 marks) C. Describe 3 factors that may significantly affect the productivity of the workers and explain in what way and by how much these factors could influence the estimate of work duration for your chosen task. (650-750 words – 30 marks) D. Describe a management technique, appropriate to your nominated project, which addresses one or more of the factors described above (in part C) and which could be implemented on your chosen task to improve the worker productivity. Explain how you would expect the task duration to be impacted by this technique. (450-550 words – 20 marks)
