Part 1 is a Scenario. Read through the scenario carefully. Answer each section.
Part 2 is the Major Project. Read and follow the instructions provided.
Scenario
You have taken a role in a traditional family business. Nothing much has changed in many years and revenue and profit is declining because the company is starting to fall behind the times. The owners are looking to you for some fresh thinking, particularly about how to bring more sustainable practices into the business. Their power and waste removal costs are way above industry average.
You are encouraged to try an ideation workshop with the staff to see if you can come up with one or two innovations that you can take to the owners for approval.
Consider the following methodologies you have discovered from reading on the subject and the eLearning courses. Describe them and explain how they are best used.
o Brainstorming
o Osborne Checklist
o Six Thinking Hats
o TRI Z
o Multiplication Technique
o Task Unification Technique
o Attribute Dependency Technique
Decide which methodologies or tools to use in your workshop. Explain why you have
chosen these tools.
Develop an introductory PowerPoint presentation for your workshop to brief the staff on performance improvement, sustainability and innovation as an essential element of competition.
Describe the process you would use to evaluate the ideas.
Project
You will use your newly gained knowledge to propose a Change Management Strategy for a new service you have proposed in order to facilitate a successful outcome for an external client.
It is important that you have access to the details of a service you can use to base your assessment on. Contact your trainer if you do not.
Some time has passed since you designed and implemented the previous project and you believe you can further enhance their profitability by offering a new service or product. You should review the business model again to see if you think they can benefit from a new offering. Perhaps when you did the project you had ideas that could have improved it that were not accepted at the time.
You will need access to the following information…
Business Plan
Company Profile
Existing State
Stakeholder interviews
You need to produce a plan to Change to the new service or product. The following is a list of the project
deliverables:
Short Proposal outlining an executive summary of the selected service including:
Reasons behind your proposal, based on an organisational review
Plan for consultation meetings to negotiate deliverables
Agenda templates
Meeting outcomes matrix (RACI)

Individual Report: PMBoK versus PRINCE2 or Agile in contemporary projects Individual/Group Individual Length 1,200 words (+/- 10%) Learning Outcomes The Subject Learning Outcomes demonstrated by successful completion of the task below include: a) Assess the importance of project management concepts within an organisational context. b) Compare and contrast project management methodologies and their application within global project contexts. c) Identify and analyse the key processes of a project lifecycle. Weighting 35% Total Marks 100 marks Task Summary Following group discussions, individually write a 1,200-word report that discusses the strengths, weaknesses, similarities, and contrasts of PMBoK and PRINCE2 or Agile in contemporary projects. Context There are several project management methodologies and approaches that are used in contemporary project management. Among these are PMBoK, PRINCE2, Waterfall, Agile, Extreme Programming (XP), and Adaptive Project Framework (APF). Each of them has certain specific elements that proponents say make it easier to use, more applicable, more robust, or otherwise more appropriate for particular environments or circumstances. Whilst these methodologies are all valid and reliable tools for a project manager to use, it is important to be able to contrast them and to form a view of how they may best be used in a project. This analysis includes their usefulness, application in various types of projects, and how they view project risk. Such context can help project managers identify which methodologies/approaches may be best for specific projects. Instructions In this Assessment, you will write a 1,200-word (+/- 10%) report that considers the application of a project management methodology to a project as described in an assigned case study. In particular, you will review the assigned case study, then compare and contrast the application of the PMBoK project management approach to the highlighted project with your choice of one of the following methodologies/approaches: a) PRINCE2, or b) Agile The report must use the following headings:
INTRODUCTION: Develop an introduction to PMBoK and the other methodology/approach you have selected (PRINCE2 or Agile) that includes their background and historical context (approximately 200 words)
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES: List 2–3 similarities and 2–3 differences between them and why these similarities and differences are relevant to the assigned case study (approximately 200 words combined)
RISK: How each method treats project risk and how these approaches to risk are relevant to the assigned case study (approximately 200 words)
PROJECT CONTEXT: The types of projects in which each is used (approximately 200 words)
LIFECYCLE IMPLICATIONS: How each differs across different phases of a project’s lifecycle (approximately 200 words)
APPLICATION: Explain which methodology you would choose to apply for the project in the assigned case study, and why (approximately 200 words) Be sure to cite any source material, including learning resources or other academic or industry literature you research, used to inform your analysis. You will need to consult the literature and use at least 6 references (and not more than 12 references) from academic and industry sources. The word count does not include the reference list. Each reference must be cited in-text in your report. The assessment requires that you submit your report via Blackboard. You do not need to upload anything relating to your group discussions in Weeks 4 and 5. Referencing It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research.

Submission By 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday of Module 2.2 Weighting 25% Total Marks 100 marks Task Summary Critically read and interpret both the Project Management Lifecycle and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK). Engage with other students by posting an initial 600-word discussion forum post and a 200-word critique that details your response to the question below (or the set question). Context The Project Management Lifecycle (PML) is an important component of project management methodology. It incorporates several areas of knowledge from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK), and it affects and interacts with the application of PMBoK in a project. Different stages of the PML may require focusing on different areas of the PMBoK, and project managers need to assess the PML for their project in order to identify possible risks, plans for resourcing, and to commence communicating with stakeholders. This assessment requires that you answer the following question: “During which project management lifecycle stage(s) do you believe a project management methodology is most impactful, and how do we ensure alignment between the lifecycle of the project and the implementation of a project management methodology?” PROJ6000_Assessment_1_Brief_Opinion Post_Module 2.2 Page 1 of 6 To answer this question, you will need to: (a) Post a 600-word (+/- 10%) response to this question, based on your informed opinion and demonstrated knowledge of project management concepts, project lifecycles, and PMBoK, to the Discussion Forum on the Learning Portal. (b) Respond to another student’s post by critiquing their opinion and comparing it with yours in 200 words (+/-10%). Instructions
Read about the PMBoK and the Project Management Lifecycle to familiarise yourself with their fundamental concepts. Critically reflect on your readings to form an opinion of both and how they interact together. Write a 600-word opinion piece responding to the set question. Be sure to cite any source material, including learning resources or other academic or industry literature you research, used to inform your opinion. The word count does not include the reference list.
Read another student’s post. Think about their opinion and try to compare and contrast it with your own. This approach will allow you to “critique” their view. You can do this by highlighting the aspects you agree with and those you disagree within their post. You need to justify and explain your critique of their opinion. In your response, you will need to refer to industry and academic literature. Your response will need to be 200 words. The word count does not include the reference list.

Submission By 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday of Module 6.1 Weighting 40% Total Marks 100 marks Task Summary After reading the project case study, use it to develop a 2,000-word Project Charter, describing the entire project in a short, succinct, and professional document. Context Project leadership is about inspiring the project team to do their best from the outset. This requires a combination of verbal and written communication skills and a range of applied leadership skills. One of the foundational documents that helps “kick off” a project is the Project Charter. The Project Charter describes the entire project in a short, succinct, and presentable document that can be shared with project staff or other stakeholders and aims to commence the project in earnest. The Project Charter helps to clarify the project context, the project team roles, and the goals of the project. Instructions You will be given a project case study to use in order to develop your Project Charter. Though all students will receive the same case study, it is expected that each student will think about the project from their own perspective as an up-and-coming project manager in order to formulate a unique Project Charter. Use your own style based on your critical thinking of what it means for you PROJ6000_Assessment_3_Brief_Report_Module6.1 Page 1 of 6 to lead a project. You may use one of the templates provided in the learning resources or develop your own format. Please follow the instructions below: 1. Read the case study provided by your lecturer.

Submission By 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday of Module 6.1 Weighting 40% Total Marks 100 marks Task Summary After reading the project case study, use it to develop a 2,000-word Project Charter, describing the entire project in a short, succinct, and professional document. Context Project leadership is about inspiring the project team to do their best from the outset. This requires a combination of verbal and written communication skills and a range of applied leadership skills. One of the foundational documents that helps “kick off” a project is the Project Charter. The Project Charter describes the entire project in a short, succinct, and presentable document that can be shared with project staff or other stakeholders and aims to commence the project in earnest. The Project Charter helps to clarify the project context, the project team roles, and the goals of the project. Instructions You will be given a project case study to use in order to develop your Project Charter. Though all students will receive the same case study, it is expected that each student will think about the project from their own perspective as an up-and-coming project manager in order to formulate a unique Project Charter. Use your own style based on your critical thinking of what it means for you PROJ6000_Assessment_3_Brief_Report_Module6.1 Page 1 of 6 to lead a project. You may use one of the templates provided in the learning resources or develop your own format. Please follow the instructions below: 1. Read the case study provided by your lecturer. This will form the basis for your Project Charter, because you will assume that you are the project manager for this project. 2. After reading the case study, begin to develop your project charter. This needs to be a 2,000word report (+/- 10%) and must use a minimum of six (6) references (academic literature and industry publications—please consider the case study as a 7th reference).

ASSESSMENT 2 BRIEF Subject Code and Title PROJ6000: Principles of Project Management Assessment Assessment 2 – Individual Report: PMBoK versus PRINCE2 or Agile in contemporary projects Individual/Group Individual Length 1,200 words (+/- 10%) Learning Outcomes The Subject Learning Outcomes demonstrated by successful completion of the task below include: a) Assess the importance of project management concepts within an organisational context. b) Compare and contrast project management methodologies and their application within global project contexts. c) Identify and analyse the key processes of a project lifecycle. Weighting 35% Total Marks 100 marks Task Summary Following group discussions, individually write a 1,200-word report that discusses the strengths, weaknesses, similarities, and contrasts of PMBoK and PRINCE2 or Agile in contemporary projects. Context There are several project management methodologies and approaches that are used in contemporary project management. Among these are PMBoK, PRINCE2, Waterfall, Agile, Extreme Programming (XP), and Adaptive Project Framework (APF). Each of them has certain specific elements that proponents say make it easier to use, more applicable, more robust, or otherwise more appropriate for particular environments or circumstances. Whilst these methodologies are all valid and reliable tools for a project manager to use, it is important to be able to contrast them and to form a view of how they may best be used in a project. This analysis includes their usefulness, application in various types of projects, and how they view project risk. Such context can help project managers identify which methodologies/approaches may be best for specific projects. Instructions In this Assessment, you will write a 1,200-word (+/- 10%) report that considers the application of a project management methodology to a project as described in an assigned case study. In particular, you will review the assigned case study, then compare and contrast the application of the PMBoK project management approach to the highlighted project with your choice of one of the following methodologies/approaches: a) PRINCE2, or b) Agile The report must use the following headings:
INTRODUCTION: Develop an introduction to PMBoK and the other methodology/approach you have selected (PRINCE2 or Agile) that includes their background and historical context (approximately 200 words)
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES: List 2–3 similarities and 2–3 differences between them and why these similarities and differences are relevant to the assigned case study (approximately 200 words combined)
RISK: How each method treats project risk and how these approaches to risk are relevant to the assigned case study (approximately 200 words)
PROJECT CONTEXT: The types of projects in which each is used (approximately 200 words)
LIFECYCLE IMPLICATIONS: How each differs across different phases of a project’s lifecycle (approximately 200 words)
APPLICATION: Explain which methodology you would choose to apply for the project in the assigned case study, and why (approximately 200 words) Be sure to cite any source material, including learning resources or other academic or industry literature you research, used to inform your analysis. You will need to consult the literature and use at least 6 references (and not more than 12 references) from academic and industry sources. The word count does not include the reference list. Each reference must be cited in-text in your report. The assessment requires that you submit your report via Blackboard. You do not need to upload anything relating to your group discussions in Weeks 4 and 5. Referencing It is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research.

This project seeks to create a case study of an organization that requires a change intervention. Students will be required to choose an organisation that they are familiar with and analyse it using relevant change management theories or frameworks to identify areas where change is required. Relevant change intervention strategies are to be proposed. The organisational change project covers the following: 1. An introduction to the organisation. 2. Internal and external analysis of the organisation to identify areas requiring change (at the end of this section, include a summary of the areas where change is required) 3. Literature review – overview of change management theories or frameworks 4. Evaluation of possible change strategies required to improve the situation. 5. Recommendations of the most suitable strategies. 6. Required resources for implementing the identified suitable strategies. 7. Conclusion Submission Date: Week 13 (online submission via Turnitin) Total Mark & Weighting: 50 marks (50%) Students are advised that any submissions past the due date without an approved extension or without approved extenuating circumstances incurs a 5% penalty per calendar day, calculated from the total mark e.g. a task marked out of 35 will incur a 1.75-mark penalty per calendar day. GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSIGNMENT Assignments should usually incorporate a formal introduction, main points and conclusion, and will be fully referenced including a reference list. The word count for the assessment is 3000 words (+/- 10%) Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count GENERAL NOTES FOR REFERENCING References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic sources, such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a reference, but not the lecturer notes. We want to see evidence that you can conduct your own research. Also, in order to help markers, determine students’ understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number/s if shown in the original. Work that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the “Harvard Referencing Workbook” will be penalized.
