Assessment - Project Selection Methods and Initial Documents
Learning Outcome 1: Understand PMBOK knowledge areas and process groups and their role, relevance and impact on project management best practice and PMI's Code of Ethics.
Learning Outcome 2: Critically compare and contrast project management approaches and their appropriateness for managing a variety of project types.
Learning Outcome 3: Apply appropriate project management tools and techniques, paying particular attention to risk management.
Context:
A project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to provide an expected and beneficial outcome. A project life cycle is the series of phases that a project passes through from its initiation to its closure. Project goals should align with organisational goals such as improved operations or increased revenues, reducing costs or improving efficiencies.
Before resources can be committed to a project, the reason for its proposal and the benefits it is expected to deliver need to be understood by people in positions empowered to make decisions about the expenditure of an organisation's resources. The selection of organisational projects is typically performed through a method of classification and review of the project's business case. That method of course should be applied consistently to all project proposals.
Instructions:
For this assessment, you are required to demonstrate your knowledge on different methods used in the project selection and the project initiation process. Throughout the assessment, you will consider the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) guide and focus, more specifically, on the initiation documents.
