PMLS ASSIGNMENT : Create a business case for establishing a British Target Store

Assignment brief:

You have recently been appointed by a large investor in the UAE who is seeking to develop Target stores in the UAE but they have concerns over the problems Target US had with their project in Canada (see Appendix 1). Your assignment is to write a report on the prospective Target UAE as a project – considering what is likely to go well and what not so well. 

Your report should therefore focus on the project management aspects including the key risks e.g. loss of money and overrunning its schedule and not meeting the performance requirements expected from a project of this type.
