PROJ6017 Integrated Project Management - Presentation Activity

Learning Outcome 1: Examine the project lifecycle using advanced knowledge of project management and make recommendations to deliver successful outcomes in local and global settings.

Learning Outcome 2: Critically evaluate and propose the implementation of change management processes and activities in a project environment.

Learning Outcome 3: Analyse communication management capabilities of project teams in order to enhance opportunities and influence diverse stakeholders.

Assessment Task
You will prepare a 5-minute presentation, which will demonstrate your findings after you examine the given case study and identify changes that will impact the delivery of project value. You should critically evaluate the impact of the identified changes on project processes and development approach/life cycle. Consider and propose a project change approach to deliver the envisioned future state, including your preferred change model, integrated change control, and strategies that will engage and support the stakeholders, resulting in the sustainment of the change.

Context
A project is designed to deliver value and benefits to the organisation and stakeholders. The selected development approach and processes may be tailored to ensure value and benefits delivery. The delivery of the project is based on more than the identified project outcomes and will be impacted by the people and organisational culture in which the outcomes will be delivered.

The way the deliverables are accepted within the client organisation is dependent on the readiness of stakeholders to receive and accept change. Thus, change management is a key consideration when managing and delivering project outcomes, so that the change is enabled to deliver the envisioned future state (PMI, 2021). Changes resulting from the project should enable benefits realisation.

Changes need to be assessed and identified, and the people impacted by the changes need to be prepared, engaged, and understand the need and benefits of the change. Change Management goes beyond Integrated Change Control. Change Management looks at the people and processes and how the organisation moves from the current state to the envisioned future state that becomes possible with successful project completion.

As a future Project Manager, you will often be called upon to review and assess your project, the associated process and lifecycle, and determine the impacts of the project on the stakeholders, as well as the impacts of the stakeholders on the project. You will engage others in your evaluation to propose and agree solutions, which will incorporate a Change Management approach.

This assessment allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the importance and application of Project Change Management and Integrated Change Control, by selecting and discussing a Change Model that you will recommend as the basis for the transition of people and processes to the newly envisioned state, brought about by the project deliverables. You will also demonstrate your analysis of project process groups and processes, along with the appropriate development approach/lifecycle, that support the delivery of project value to the stakeholders.
By engaging in a discussion with other class members, you will consider your recommendations against the context of the recommendations made by others, presenting supporting evidence and discussing the recommended approaches in order to contribute to your "toolkit" of Project and Change Management knowledge and application.

This assessment will require you to consider the project in our case study and use a presentation format, to engage with other students in this class to present the outcomes of your analysis.
• You will apply your analysis skills to determine the future state that is envisioned by this project and use your critical thinking skills to propose change management approaches to ensure the future state.
• You will consider the development approach (project lifecycle) and processes within the case study and present your assessment and recommendations for the ongoing project delivery approach.
• You will consider the impact on stakeholders and existing processes so that changes resulting from the project will deliver values and benefits. You will also consider the impacts of stakeholders on processes and development approach.
• You will engage in discussion with other students in your class and arrive at a decision after considering opinions and options offered by other team members. Your ability to provide timely,

Instructions

To complete this assessment, you must:

1. Read and understand the given case study.
2. Review Modules 1 and 2 contents and resources, as well as any additional resources you may find relevant and that will add value to your discussion.
3. Prepare a discussion/recommendation of 500 words (+/- 10%) equivalent.
4. Examine the case study and:
a. Identify all the changes that will impact the success of the project delivery. (Remember that changes considered should include those changes within the project (Integrated Change Control) and changes impacting stakeholders, as well as stakeholder readiness to accept the changes noted.)
b. Critically evaluate the impacts of the identified changes on the project processes and development approach/lifecycle.
c. Select three (3) changes previously identified and propose a change management approach to ensure the delivery of value by the project.
d. Discuss how you would ensure that the changes are accepted by the stakeholders, as well as how you may need to tailor any processes or development approach/lifecycle.

Note, at the discretion of the Learning Facilitator, this assessment can be delivered in class as a presentation and discussion, or by posting a recording to the Discussion Forum. Options can be combined to suit the class size, delivery, and schedule.

Option 1 - Discussion in class - Presentation and Responses

You will then present your findings and recommendations and respond to at least two (2) other classmates in class.
• Prepare media in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, or an Infographic.
• References should be cited within the slides or the Infographic.
• Your presentation should be approximately 5 minutes in length.
• You will critically evaluate the presentations of peer students in a classroom-based discussion, provide feedback, and propose further recommendations to at least 2 other students. Your responses will be 2-3 minutes to each student.
• Your contribution to the discussion will be assessed based on active and timely engagement and participation, relevance and validity of your contribution, and demonstration of your understanding of project management theories and

application to praxis, while using relevant academic resources to support your argument.

Option 2 -Recorded presentation on Blackboard - Presentation and Responses

You will then present your findings and recommendations and respond to at least two (2) other classmates on the discussion forum directly, as a recorded presentation, and as instructed by the Learning Facilitator.
• Prepare media in the form of a recorded PowerPoint presentation, and post the recording to the discussion form
• References should be cited within the slides.
• Your recorded presentation should be approximately 5 minutes in length.
• You will then critically evaluate the contributions and presentations of peer students and respond to their posts, providing feedback, and proposing further recommendations to at least 2 other students. Your responses to each student will be 2-3 minutes.
• Your contribution to the discussion will be assessed based on your recorded presentation, as well as your two responses to other students, demonstrating timely engagement and participation, relevance and validity of your contribution, and demonstration of your understanding of the project management theories and application to praxis, while using relevant academic resources to support your argument. The timeliness of your submission will allow effective and timely formation of a discussion within the class.
