Academic writing expectations
The neatness and well-reviewed flow in your work makes it appealing to the eye and compelling to read. Your detailed coverage of change control as a critical quality for a good project manager is excellent and strongly essential. I agree with you that for one to qualify as a good project manager, he/she has to effectively be able to successfully make sound decisions when faced with unprecedented changes in the project plan. Change control has become a vital role in project management because project success majorly depends on their ability to adapt to changes in the initial organization and intended project flow (Hornstein, 2015, p. 294). As you have clearly stated, project managers must be able to initiate and fully implement the project to success. They also have to account for plan deviations, assess the psychological analysis of the change, and come up with a decision that best handles the transition.
Your approach to the effect of optimistic bias and project timeframe on projects is well versed and strongly supported with a real case scenario. The Myki project is a good case study as it shows the consequences of poor planning and over ambitiousness, without a substantial project scope. I agree with your analysis on the dealing with a project that has minimal assumptions within it and the involvement of every stakeholder through the project. Organizational project management has become an essential characteristic in project management that project managers are expected to undergo training in it (Chen, 2015, p. 1394).
Overall, your project presentation is excellent and per academic writing expectations. It is well structured and therefore appealing to the eye and enjoyable to read. The font types and sizes match, which is good work. However, a little more coverage on your case study would give a more in-depth explanation of your suggested implementation strategies.
