Assessment - Project Management Plan
Your task
Individually, you must write a 2500 words project management plan to address risks, finances, control and the ethical consequences of a project.
Assessment Description
This assessment is a culmination piece in which students can combine the information they have accumulated from weeks 1 to 12 and in the first and second assessments and apply key concepts, methodologies, tools and techniques in a real-life project. In doing so, students will take the necessary steps to research, interpret, critically analyse, and synthesise data about a project from different sources and reflect on different approaches to risk, finances, monitoring and ethical considerations according to the industry's best practices. This will also allow students to create comprehensive and reliable project reporting that meets industry standards by presenting knowledge, skills and ideas to specialist and non- specialist stakeholders.
