Case Study: Delphi Printer And Periphals

On the 7th March 2016 Delphi Printer and Periphals Company released the launch of its latest and innovative printer. In this analysis I will break down the approaches taken as Senior Project Manager and discuss my decisions and management style, comparing this to other project management methodolgys. I will then go on to discuss the project’s successes amd contraints including the theory of contraints in relation to this project. The reasons why this project was both a success and failure in terms of project management will be critically discussed not only on an indivisual scale in terms of company success but also in comparision to the larger context of mangement practises. The use of one consistent case study comparision is important to compare my project management too. I will be in this analysis using the rebuild of the one world trade centre project in New York

Pinto (2013) also points out in his textbook that project managers must also show certain characteristics and leadership qualities in order to lead a successful team to create a successful outcome. Qualities listed included that you have good motivation, a clear vision and good communication all of which I lost during the process of production when targets dropped and results were not showing which reflected in my teams low
