Student Instructions

Project Choice

Your selected project must be agreed between you and your facilitator so that its methodology, tools and techniques conform to the performance requirements of each Unit of Competency before you start work on the unit.

You may use the same project for all units in this Course, unless your selected project changes during the Course or cannot conform to the performance requirements of any of the Units of Competency. If either or both of these events occur during your course, you must contact your facilitator to find out what you need to do to continue to satisfy the Course performance requirements and achieve competency.

The project must be within an organisation, business or you are operating as a consultant.

Your selected project must have:

a comprehensive, detailed and integrated project management plan

a formal communications plan

a dedicated and project-based budget

formal and planned engagement with a wide range of stakeholders

a documented risk, issues and change-management methodology

a quality plan with assurance and control processes

a project team-based environment.

You need to map the workplace documents to the Assessment criteria. This mapping demonstrates your understanding of the assessment criteria.

Your facilitator can provide you will details on the documentation you need to provide to do this.

All questions in this assignment must be applied to your project (unless otherwise stated) and specific answers (not just theory) are required to show you can apply what you have learnt to your project – even if you do not currently undertake all aspects in your workplace.

Your answers must be satisfactory for all questions.

Submission

Note: It is important for project management to show you can meet deadlines.

Assignments will be submitted by uploading documents to the Assignments area in studEspace – electronic copies are required for audit purposes. More than three attachments for a submission will not be accepted. Accepted file types are: MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, MS Project, MS Publisher and PDF. Versions accepted are 2003 onwards.

Feedback and ResubmissionYou will receive your feedback within two weeks – you will be notified by email by your facilitator when results are available. You will need to visit this Assignments area in studEspace and down load your feedback. 

Where students answers are deemed not satisfactory after the first attempt a resubmission may be requested. If a student has demonstrated consistent effort in the learning of a module then, at the teacher’s professional discretion, the student may be awarded a resubmission. This resubmission must be made as soon after the initial assessment as possible.

Environmental Sustainability:

You may wish to consider including environmental sustainability principles in cost management by costing the environmental impacts of the project and including these in the project budget.
