ASSESSMENT TASKS
There are two tasks to complete for this unit of competence:

Task 1 - Written responses

This activity has been designed to assess your knowledge and understanding of managing project human resources within projects.

This task consists of questionnaires which reflect the knowledge of project management (PMBOK). The responses should include the following:
• Must be relevant to your project as stated in BSBPMG530 Manage Project Scope, unless otherwise stated. Responses should link to the theoretical aspects of project human resources management followed by relevant experience / exposure of your nominated project you recently or are currently working on to progress both your studies and your projects simultaneously. Your response to the questionnaires must relate to the same project topic chosen for BSBPMG530 Manage Project Scope subject unit.
• However, if you have started with this subject topic as an initial attempt of this course, you must negotiate and discuss with your Assessor to consider a project that you recently or are currently working on or a project that you have worked in the past.
• If workplace project exposure does not apply to you, you must negotiate with your assessor to use a scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning. However, case study examples are a suitable substitute where workplace examples cannot be provided. Case studies are available on e-learning. Theory answers without reference to your experience will not be assessed as satisfactory
• Demonstrate that you can or have applied what you have learnt to your project, regardless of whether you have undertaken all the performance requirements in your workplace

Task 2 - Portfolio of Evidence

The portfolio of evidence comprises the assessment of the application of your project human resources knowledge. You will need to demonstrate your human resources management skills applied to a project which is based on the project you have chosen for BSBPMG530 Manage Project Scope subject unit. It should state relevant experience / exposure of your nominated project you recentlyor are currently working on to progress both your studies and your projects simultaneously.

If you have started with this subject topic as an initial attempt of completing this course, you must negotiate and discuss with your Assessor to consider a project that you recently or are currently working on or a project that you have worked in the past.

If workplace project exposure does not apply to you, you must negotiate with your assessor to use a scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning. However, case study examples are a suitable substitute where workplace examples cannot be provided. Case studies are available on e-learning.

To such a degree you must negotiate with your assessor to use a scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning.

Your nominated project must be agreed between you and your Assessor so that its methodology, tools and techniques accommodate to the performance requirements of each Unit of Competency prior to start of work on the unit.

Some of the tasks have been developed as a reflection of gaining feedback and ideas on methods, plans, strategies, standards, team effort and inputs of project team members through verbal interactions that may occur in a real-life project environment situation whilst managing human resources with a project. Students are encouraged to conduct those tasks by interacting with classmates and stage a real-life work environment to brainstorm and generate an understanding of the project requirements.

Your project must comprise:

• a comprehensive, detailed and integrated project management plan
• a formal communications plan
• a devoted and project-based budget
• formal and planned involvement 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.
