Assessment - Client Report: Research Analysis
Task
In this assessment, you will individually write a comprehensive report to document your research analysis, findings, conclusions, and persuasive recommendations for addressing a client's IT problem. Your report should critically analyse and recommend multi-disciplinary IT solutions.
Assessment Description
This assessment is designed to assess your advanced research and analytical skills. In this assessment, you will conduct an in-depth research analysis and produce a comprehensive report for a client's IT problem. You are required to critically evaluate and recommend multi-disciplinary IT solutions to address the client's problem. The assessment will require you to demonstrate a high level of proficiency in integrating concepts, theories, and frameworks from different disciplines to support your recommendations.
Learning outcome 1: Recommend and critically analyse multi-disciplinary IT solutions.
Learning outcome 2: Defend research findings and solutions to a client.
Assessment Instructions
Students must conduct research externally and included references in order to produce a well referenced assessment. You should use at least ten (10) sources of information and reference these in accordance with the Kaplan Harvard Referencing Style. 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 referencing list at the end of your assessment (not included in the word limit). Wikipedia and other ‘popular' sites are not to be used.
You must submit your report in Word document or in PDF format.
The report should be well-structured and organised. It should include the following details:
