IT Project Management
Assessment - Project Pitch and Recommendations
Your Task
Your third assessment in this subject requires you to create a recorded Project Presentation video based on the Project Management Plan you have created in the second assessment. The project presentation will be delivered using a slide deck to pitch your plan to the project sponsor (your lecturer) for approval. You are also required to make recommendations to the organisation based on the change management plan.
Assessment Description
After assessment 2, you have completed your preparation in Project Management Plan and want to get started. What you need now is to get approval from your project sponsor.
Your project sponsor would like to know that you are in control of the project schedule, scope, budget, resources, risk, change and other important success factors. A slide deck and a recorded project pitch using the slide deck will be completed to convince your project sponsor.
A Project Pitch is a presentation that provides a brief but informative overview of your project ideas and plan. It should cover the key points of how you could successfully deliver the project and make appropriate recommendations to the organisation through Lewin's change management principles.
