Enterprise Environmental Analysis and Report
Part A: Discussion activity: EEFs and tools of Impact Analysis (Individual)
Part B: Impact Analysis Report (Individual / Group) and Individual Reflection
Learning Outcome 1: Critically evaluate the impact of internal and external factors on project management processes and develop strategies to implement appropriate courses of action.
Learning Outcome 2: Articulate project management outcomes and communicate using a range of media to diverse stakeholders representing differing expectations.
Context:
Enterprise Environment Factors (EEFs) influence on various aspects of organisations, operations and project outcomes, even a project team usually has no control over them. Nevertheless, it is important for the project team to effectively manage EEFs as they can impact on project success. In PMBOK 6th Edition (PMI, 2017), EEFs are key inputs to project management processes, and directly and indirectly connected to Impact analysis, Benefit realisation, and Stakeholder engagement.
Reflective exercises can help increase the value of the learning experience by relating new materials of learning to prior knowledge and create a better understanding of the discipline. Reflection improves learning by providing a structure to reflect systematically over time on the learning process, and to develop critical reflective aptitudes, skills and habits. Successful reflection enables self-awareness, personal and professional growth, lifetime learning, and will help students develop into active and aware learners and become a reflective practitioner in their professional life.
Instructions:
In this assessment, students are to work individually or in groups (max 4 members) to complete a project management report to Executive Management, using PMBOK 6th Edition (PMI, 2017) as a guide. Referencing other provided learning resources and personal research are highly encouraged too. This assessment contains 2 parts.
Part A - activity: EEFs and Tools of Impact Analysis
In Assessment 2 Part A, students will use their project developed for Assessment 1:
• Identify relevant enterprise environmental factors (EEFs) of the project;
• Propose a tool, technique or framework intend to use for qualitative and/or quantitative impact analysis of EEFs;
• Justify why the selected tool/technique is appropriate.
Students are encouraged to identify EEFs from the project chosen and share personal thoughts with group members in the class. Actively seek feedback and inputs from facilitators. The individual and/or groups should organise discussion notes and upload it on the Blackboard accordingly.
Assessment 2 Part A is due at the end of Module 4. The discussion can be arranged in a "Main post and Responding post" format, or In-Class discussion notes format.
Part B - Impact Analysis Report and Individual Reflection
In Part B, students will assess and incorporate the feedback received from their peers in Module 4 discussion and submit a report on the impact analysis of EEFs identified within 1500 words. The report should address the following:
• Evaluation of the internal and external factors and their impact on project management processes;
• Development of strategies to realise and optimise potential benefits;
• Drafted communication plan and outcomes to diverse stakeholders.
At end of the report, each group member is required to provide a 500-word or equivalent of personal learning reflection. The reflection should cover
• What key knowledge and skills you learned through this subject?
• How will they benefit you further study and career?
• Any good or bad of your overall learning experience?
