Overview

As stated by Schwalbe (2014) a project management plan (PMP) is a document used to coordinate all project planning documents and helps to guide a project's execution and control. She also states that a good PMP is vital to the coordination and integration of information across project management knowledge areas and across the organisation. 

In this assignment, you will work in  teams of 2-3 people  to produce a PMP, a description of updates to the PMP and related documents and a record of your experiences working in the team. The teams will be assigned by your lecturer and will be based on your tutorial/laboratory classes.  There will be time allocated in the tutorial/laboratory to work on this assignment. One team member is to be elected the project manager for the duration of the project. Teams are expected to meet regularly - at least once a week - and prepare a PMP based on the IT project case study on page 7. They are then expected to provide descriptions of changes to that PMP and related deliverables based on the sequence of events described in the case study. Teams should use their own initiative regarding the scheduling of all deliverables. Teams will NOT be required to produce 'product related deliverables' as part of this assignment. The focus is primarily on 'project management related deliverables'. However if an event would trigger a change to the product deliverables, it may be of assistance to the reader if you include information about that change.  Finally over the course of the assignment, individuals are expected to record information about team meetings, their work and contributions and the contributions of others as well as reflect on their learning about project management through the completion of the assignment. 

Requirements

Deliverables for this assessment are divided into three areas, a) Team PMP Deliverables; b) Team Project Update Descriptions Report; and c) Individual Report Deliverables. Following are detailed requirements of each.

 Team PMP Deliverables:

It is recommended teams use the structure as suggested by Schwalbe (2014) as a guide for preparing and creating their PMP. PMP section headings include:

  • Introduction
  • Organisation
  • Management and Technical approaches
  • Work to Perform
  • Schedule
  • Budget

It is recommended that teams understand the inputs to the PMP and include reference to ancillary plans and deliverables from other knowledge areas (see Schwalbe (2014)). 

You may use Microsoft Project or other tools to plan the project and include screen shots in your report. A quality team PMP will demonstrate a synthesis of plan content, templates and ideas acquired from project management professionals and academic authors with details from the case study provided.
