Assessment: Project Management Processes and Project Life Cycle Report

Part A: Discussion activity: Change requirements and Project life cycle (Individual)

Part B: Project Life Cycle and Integration report (Individual / Group)

Formulate appropriate project life cycle and integrate project management process groups to deliver successful project outcomes.

Context:

Imagine the voluminous processes, which are needed to successfully complete a project. As a project manager, you should see the big picture and coordinate the integration of these processes throughout a project life cycle (PLC). You begin with considering common elements to most projects (Five phases and Ten knowledge areas), and reflecting on any changes happened, and later incorporating the change requirements into each phase of PLC. As a result, relevant project elements and processes can be integrated and managed holistically.

Project Integration requests that each phase of PLC must be carefully designed, evaluated and assessed based on specific project management approach. It is your decision, as a project manager, on what process groups are incorporated, and how Integrated Change Control (ICC) to be carried on. These decisions might be based on the ultimate goal and characteristics of the project, the stakeholders' objectives or the budget, among other elements.

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. As a group, students assign project management roles and responsibilities to the group members. A project case study will be provided. This assessment is divided into 2 parts.

Part A - Discussion activity: Change requirement and Project life cycle

To begin Assessment 1 Part A, students will be given a scenario based on the selected case study. They will identify change requirements of the project and critically analyse how the requirements introduce changes to the project management plan, process groups and project life cycle. Students are encouraged to analyse the case and share personal thoughts with group members in the class, and actively seek feedback and inputs from facilitators. The individual and/or groups should organise discussion notes and upload it on the Blackboard accordingly.

Assessment 1 Part A is due at the end of Module 2. The discussion can be arranged in a "Main post and Responding post" format, or In-Class discussion notes format.

Part B - Individual / Group Report: PLC and Integration report

After the proposed or identified changes to the project management plan, the formulation of project management processes and Project Life Cycle, students (individual or in group of 3-4 students) will elaborate and incorporate discussion outcomes from Assessment 1 Part A into the report. The report should be structured using an appropriate business style / format with maximum of 2500 words. The key contents should include but not limited to: Change requirements identification and change request analysis; Change details in the project management processes and each stage of project life cycle; Integrated change control; and justifications to the required changes that occur.
