The series of events as shown in the ABC documentary with the application of PMBOK in complex projects will be evaluated in the following report. The Federation Square project was launched in March 1996 then embarked in 1998 and was opened in October 2002, two years behind schedule however with all manufacturing still not complete (Vic Auditor-General 2003) requiring considerable post-completion maintenance and support and further wasting of valuable resources. This was the culmination of six years hard work coupled with two different political parties and involved thousands of contract personal costing $473.3million (Report on Public Sector Agencies, May 2003 2.232). As well as been constantly besieged with issues and heavy criticism from the general public the project is an example of the major problems that can impede a project that is outside the total control of the project
For every organization, they have their own organizational goals and standards. So based on their goals and standards they have different things to do. The PMBOK® Guide consists of five process groups or phases which are Initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, closing phases these are the standard practices for a project.

The project management helps to design the unique product or the service in order to achieve the goals and objectives. A project can be unique or temporary. The temporary project is the project in which the starting and ending time is defined and it has also defined the resources and scope. The unique project is the project which is different from the routine projects however it includes the unique set of operations that designed in order to achieve some goals. The team of the project includes the individuals that do not work together and this team is made in order to accomplish the goals of the project (Burke

The history of PMO can be regard as the evolution of PMO’s definition. When did the project management office appear? The earliest record about PMO which was referred to farming improvement appeared in1800s in the UK (Darling & Whitty, 2016). As a well-known modern PMO, which was used in aerospace industry in 1950s, PMO did have a series of evolution. The PMO first appeared in business and government areas in 1960s, and continued progress to contemporary (Darling & Whitty, 2016). Since mid-1990s, plenty of organizations attach great importance to the role of PMO, and set up the PMO departments or groups to boost the process of projects (Kutsch, Ward, Hall & Algar, 2015). There is no doubt that PMO has changed a lot. It not only has been evolving and adapted to the development of the times, but also has a new interpretation on the function and assume more responsibilities
...ays possible to have changes during the project life cycle. Project manager should be prepared for the changes that will occur in future to run the project smoothly. A change request is formal proposal to modify any document, deliverable or baseline which will include the corrective action, a preventative action or a defect repair. It should be scheduled and implemented by the project team. The approved change request can change the policies, project management plan, procedures, cost or revise the schedules. The request for the change can be direct or indirect, externally or internally intimated and can be optional or legally mandated. Project manager is responsible to determine the changes and will request to the project sponsor. However, the sponsor is the only ones who can accept or deny the changes after they consider all the change factors.
Identify the potential risks which affect the company and manage these risks within its risk appetite;
Large or complex projects in big company often require some sort of leadership. In this case, by introducing traditional project management tools are obviously important for project leaders like Kent Black since the methods and tools that project leaders use can be helpful for
This process reviews, approves, and manages all change requests to include organization process assets, project documents, and project management plan through their disposition. The benefit of the integrated change control process is it considers all documented change request in an integrated manner while reducing project risk. Project risk is often contributed by changes made without any consideration of the projects scope, objectives, or plans. If required, a formally chartered Change Control Board (CCB) is established and responsible for reviewing, evaluating, approving, or rejecting changes to a project. Part of the CCB’s responsibility is to record and document the decisions. Approval of change request are dependent upon the complexity, contractual requirements, and the environment in which the project is performed. The figure below identifies the Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs of Perform Integrated Change
When planning a new project, how the project will be managed is one of the most important factors. The importance of a managers will determine the success of the project. The success of the project will be determined by how well it is managed. Project management is referred to as the discipline that entails the processes of carefully planning, organizing, controlling, and motivating the organization resources so as to foster and facilitate the achievement of specific established and desired goals and meet the specific criteria of success required in the organization (Larson, 2014). Over the course of this paper I will be discussing and analyzing the importance of project management.
