Project and Change Management in ICT
Project Report and Presentation
Description: For this assessment task, students will form into groups of 3 or 4.
Students are required to critique and evaluate the assigned (see the task list below on page 2). Building on AT2 (Project Plan and Business Report), students apply project management principles and justify the changes to the plan. Applying project management principles, students will also revise scope definition, scheduling, resourcing, and budgeting.
They will utilise risk management and change control, quality management, and other project management tools and procedures to implement the revised final project plan and submit a 3000-word report.
In addition to the written report, students are required to present their findings in class for 10-15 minutes, along with an individual reflection on the application of project management theory to the project and an assessment of their personal contribution as a team member. Group marks may be adjusted into individual marks based on individual performance.

Every group member must also complete and submit a formal group work peer and self-evaluation form separately, which is available on eLearning.

Task List
Assume that your project team starts falling behind schedule. Describe strategies for making up lost time and avoiding schedule slips in the future.
Develop a list of quality standards or requirements that meet both senior management and customer expectations, focusing on stakeholder expectations. Provide a brief description of at least four different requirements. For example, a requirement might be that the new feature is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Create a risk register for the project, using the template in slide 42 (week 8) as a guide. Identify six potential risks, including at least two positive risks.
Plot the six risks on a probability/impact matrix, using slide 29 (week 8) as a guide. Assign a numeric value for the probability of each risk and its impact on meeting the main project objectives.
Provide Risk mitigation strategies for those six potential risks identified in question 3.
Group Presentation: The Presentation is 10 -15 minutes long for each group and should cover the key concepts from both assessments, including stakeholders, scope, WBS, Gantt chart, Risk, and Quality.
