Assessment - Project Management Plan and Recommendations

Your Task
Your second assessment in this subject requires you to create a detailed Project Management Plan (PMP) based on the Business Case you have created in the first assessment. The PMP has detailed management plans for scope, time, cost, team, and communication, plus a thorough risk analysis by using the Risk Matrix. which provides a comprehensive guide and recommendations for the project execution, control, and monitoring after it is approved.

Assessment Description

A Project Management Plan is a project management document that outlines the details of what, how, when and what if of a project's execution. It is presented in a well-structured written document to all key stakeholders so that they can gain a comprehensive understanding of the plan to execute the project. A PMP is essential to project success, and it causes failure if we don't get it right in the first place. The Risk Analysis using the Risk Matrix is based on two factors: the likelihood that the risk event will occur, and the potential impact that the risk event will have on the project. In other words, it's a useful tool that helps you visualise and understand the risk so that we can make good recommendations to the project. A thorough understanding of how to write a Project Management Plan and Risk Analysis must be demonstrated in this assessment.
