Strategic Project Management
Assessment - Statement of Work (SOW)
Your task
Individually, you are required to prepare a Statement of Work (SOW) based on your analysis of the project you prepared in the first assessment and a comprehensive stakeholder management plan in the second assessment. This is a cumulation assessment.
Assessment Description
This assessment aims to foster students' ability to evaluate and determine project viability, including the analysis required in the selection process. Students will also be given an opportunity to demonstrate the necessary evaluative criteria for the success of projects based on an organisation's goals, strategy and standards.
Assessment Instructions
Presume that the project stakeholders accepted your project analysis from Assessment 1 and Stakeholder Management Plan from Assessment 2. Now, you are required to prepare the Statement of Work (SOW) submission based on the information contained in the case study and the details in the first assessment. As the project is a real-life case study, you are expected to complement your work with additional research on the project and its site.
Your Statement of Work submission must contain all the required elements, including an introduction, scope, location, main tasks, milestones, deliverables, schedule, standards, success criteria, requirements, budget outlines, any other relevant information, and a closing statement. Please ensure that you attend the live assessment webinar, as your subject coordinator will provide you with an SOW template that you must use in this assessment.
While this is a written analysis, you can include any tables, analysis or diagrammatical elements you deem appropriate.
You must use at least ten (10) sources of information and reference appropriately. These may include websites, social media sites, industry reports, census data, journal articles, and newspaper articles. These references should be presented as in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your written analysis (not included in the word limit). Wikipedia and other ‘popular' sites are not to be used.
This assessment builds on the analysis from Assessment 1 and the Stakeholder Management Plan from Assessment 2.
Your SOW should include an introduction, scope, location, main tasks, milestones, deliverables, schedule, standards, success criteria,
requirements, budget outlines, and a closing statement.
A template is provided; you are welcome to use it; however, you can also be creative and use something else so long as it complies with the assignment deliverables.
Please ensure you appropriately cite any ideas or extracts that are not your own, following the Kaplan Harvard Referencing Guide.
Additionally, ensure that tables are legible in Word format. To maintain clarity and readability, avoid using screenshots of tables.
