PMBOK is a registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc

Assessment 1a: Individual Assignment 1a
Weighting: 10%
Due Date: see MyUni
Submission Details: Online through MyUni

Task:
Describe 5 advantages and 5 disadvantages of using a project management approach based on model-based methodologies (specifically PMBOK and PRINCE 2). Using a suitable project example from your experience or reading, illustrate how one of these models - of your selection - will benefit your project compared to the other model (i.e. the comparative strength of the chosen model for a specific project). Also comment on how the models could be combined and how you would retain the benefits of each and correct for the deficiencies of each?

Scope:
This assignment will assess your understanding of the Project Context and Basics, Project Integration and Scope Management course topics.

Length and Presentation:
1000 words max in report format.

Criteria by which your assignment will be marked:
The standards by which the assignment will be assessed include understanding of principles and referencing these.

Given the word limit on these questions, assessment will reward content included. There will be penalties for exceeding the word limit. Quotations do not count in the words counted.

The objective of these questions is for the participant to consider the theoretical material supplied and attempt to apply it to a real project example. Therefore evidence of having read and understood the material is important.

While 1000 words is only few words to cover a topic, marks will be given for the comprehensiveness of the content, evidence of additional reading, referencing these readings in the answer, and application.

In answering these questions try and state principles as well as detail. Just reproducing PMBOK (especially cutting and pasting diagrams) is not enough!

Learning objectives with this assessment (refer to section 5.1): 1-4

Task:
What is the role of integration as defined by PMBOK, and what contribution it makes in project management? Why scope management is important and how would you control scope in a project? How do scenarios contribute to the project management? Describe the tools that you would use to collect requirements and generate at least 20 requirements to define scope for a particular project. Describe a test to assess whether 5 requirements had been achieved.

Assessment 2: Group project plan (part 1)
Weighting: 30%
Due Date: see MyUni
Submission Details: Online through MyUni
An electronic copy of this report is required. Just send one copy for the group but ensure both or more names are clear.
Preferably any documents created under Excel or Microsoft Project should be included in the Word version of the electronic copy.


Task:
Develop a group project plan for an approved project of choice, implementing the theoretical material you have covered and focusing on Scope, Time, Cost and Risk. A project plan is produced to plan a new project. Groups should ideally be of two people. If you want to vary from two people, you need to seek special approval stating reasons. This assignment is intended to be the application of theory so I do not want theory reproduced, but the application of theory to a project.
