1) Assessment Details:

Following formal approval to proceed with your project, you are required to commence your project and produce a Workplace Project Status Report. This Report is due for submission at the end of week 7.

• Project name
• Name of organisation

• Project progress and performance
• Issues - categorised
• Budget status

You may include any diagrams or /drawings that assist you in your writing. It is expected that you would refer to business theories, and you are required to use in-text citation following the APA style and include a list of references. It is expected that at least three academic references will be used to inform your reflections.

This assessment task assists students to develop skills in communicating and negotiating with a range of stakeholders during the life of the project; critically reflecting on project progress and identifying contingency strategies if required; communicating project findings within the workplace and presenting project findings to an internal/external audience.

This assessment will comprise of two components:

Part a) - Workplace Project Report - Word Requirement 2,000 - 2,500 words

Your workplace project report should provide a comprehensive review of your project. It should take the form of a formal business report that can be presented to all members of your organisation.

Central to your report should be a review of the processes and a comparison of the outcomes of the project against your plans and goals.
The exact contents of your workplace project report will vary according to the nature of the project undertaken. Your report should include all of the standard formal business report requirements such as clear and precise executive summary etc., and a critical discussion on all areas that are relevant to your particular project and its execution for example:

• methodology used and the extent to which you applied it
• project highlights, disappointments, set-backs, problems
• project outcomes, recommendations and interventions required

It is expected that at least three academic references will be used to inform your critical discussion.

This report, also needs to include a section of critical reflections that relate to your learnings, both professionally and personally. The purpose of the critical reflection is to demonstrate your ability to learn from your experiences and draw connections to academic theory. You need to examine the reasons the various events occurred; your successes/failures and consider how your approach might differ in the future.

Part b) - Workplace Project Presentation

You are required to formally present your project in the final week of the semester. You are encouraged to invite relevant personnel from your organisation to attend your presentation. Your audience will also consist of fellow students and University staff.
Please read carefully the following scenario under which you are to present.

Scenario:

After six months in your current position in your organisation, the senior management team has asked you to provide a presentation outlining the latest project that you have project managed as part of your role in the organisation. Of note, there will be members of your audience who are external consultants to the organisation and not necessarily familiar with the aspects that you will be reporting on.

Your presentation should provide a succinct overview of the planning, implementation and outcomes of your recently completed project. Your presentation must demonstrate your ability to manage the planning and implementation of a project. It should conclude with a reflection that will demonstrate to the management team of your ability to learn from your experience.

You have been directed that your presentation should last for approximately 20 minutes. A warning bell will sound at 18 minutes and you will be expected to conclude your presentation within the following two minutes. The management team may then have questions for you regarding your project.

Standard business technology (a computer, projector, screen and lectern) is available; however you are encouraged to consider other creative alternatives in order to engage your audience.

As a final requirement, a hand-out summary of your presentation must be made available to all members of the management team the day prior to your presentation. Do not feel that you are restricted to providing Power-point slides for the summary. You may choose to submit a pictorial A4 sheet. The aim is to provide your audience with a snapshot of your project prior to your presentation. This must be uploaded on Moodle the day prior to your presentation for your lecturer to access.
