Project Management Assessment - 'When things go wrongs' presentation

This assessment task asks you to respond to a major disruption in your project plans. You will receive a communication about urgent news. Make sure you read this communication carefully, then complete this assessment task.

What will you do?

Your task is to respond to your client. Prepare a 5 minute audio recording, addressed to your client, reassuring them that you can still achieve the project goals, and explaining how you are planning to do this. You need to submit your audio file via the Assessment 3 submission link.

• Your submission will be assessed on your demonstrated understanding of the issue raised, your identification of the problem areas, alternative solutions identified, evaluated and selected, and how effectively this is communicated. You should also make sure you keep within the constraints of the project, with any impacts identified and communicated clearly, succinctly and convincingly. Read over the Assessment 3 marking guide carefully before you finalise your submission.
• This assessment item is designed to evaluate your communication and risk management skills as a PM under urgent situations.
• You are also required to submit the script of your recorded file as a single MS Word file.

Assessment - Urgent News

When things go wrong....

Oh no! There has been a major disruption in your project plans! A key stakeholder has an urgent requirement for the scheduled works to be changed mid-project in order for the site to remain operational. They've sent you this email with the details of the changes.

Tips on recording an audio file:

• Use any software you have access to or are most comfortable with - as long as your voice is clear and audible, you will not be assessed on the audio quality. For iPhone users, the inbuilt Voice Memos app will allow you to record and export an audio message. Alternatively, you could also use Zoom (turning off your video camera) to record your response.
• The preferred file format is MP3, but if you do use Zoom for your recording, look for the .m4a (audio only) file.
• You can embed your audio file to a MS word file by copying & pasting the link of audio file in your transcript file. Please make sure your link works before submission!
