Assessment Task

Critically analyse the Assessment 1 question as outlined in the Case Study provided by the Learning Facilitator by end of Module 1. Then, respond to the question with a 500-word discussion forum post and a 250-word critique of another student's initial post.

Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.

Context
Project Scope Management involves processes to ensure that the project incorporates all work required to complete it successfully. Managing project scope involves defining and controlling what is included in the project.
One of the keys to project success is effective scope management. Uncertainty about a stakeholder's needs or problems leads to a misleading definition (scope of work). Rework and extra effort may impact project costs and timelines.
Documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance with quality requirements and standards is the process of project quality management planning. This process helps to manage and validate quality throughout the project.

For a project to be successful, the performing organisation must define and implement quality policies, objectives, and responsibilities.

Instructions

1. The Case Study will be posted in the Assessments section in Blackboard by the end of Module 1 by your Learning Facilitator.

2. Critically analyse the Assessment 1 question outlined in the Case Study and conduct research related to the topics outlined in the question.

3. Write a 500-word initial post analysing the question and key issues. Cite all sources used to inform your post, including learning resources and academic or industry literature. The reference list is not included in the word count.

4. Read another student's post. Consider their post and compare it with the research you have conducted. This approach will allow you to "critique" their view. You can do this by highlighting your agreement and/or disagreement with their post. You must justify and explain your critique. You will need to cite industry and academic literature. Your answer must be 250 words. The reference list is not included in the word count.

Referencing
It is essential that you use the most recent edition of APA style for citing and referencing research.
