1. Identify and describe two documents that can be used to initiate projects.

Student Assessment Tasks

4. Explain the purpose of a change control plan within a project scope management plan, and
summarise the key processes that should be followed in order to control changes within a
project.
Purpose of Change Control Plan

Explanation: A change control plan ensures that any changes to the project scope are managed
systematically, preventing unauthorized alterations that may impact the project's success.

Key Processes for Controlling Changes

Summary: The project should follow a structured process for changes, initiated by completing a
Change Request Form. The project team assesses the change's business value, the Operations
Manager analyses feasibility, and, if approved, updates are documented, and relevant aspects like
the budget and project definition are adjusted. If no changes are approved, the decision is still
logged. This systematic approach helps maintain control over the project scope.

5. Explain two methods that can be used to measure project outcomes and progress and provide
example to illustrate each.
Sales Increase (Quantitative)

Explanation: Measure project outcomes by tracking the percentage increase in sales over 12
months, as specified in the case study.

Example: If sales rise by 20%, it demonstrates a tangible and measurable project outcome.

Brand Recognition (Qualitative)

Explanation: Assess project progress by conducting market research to gauge the increasing
recognition of the Native Bush Spices brand.

Example: If the research shows a growing awareness of the brand, it indicates a qualitative
measure of success in the project.

6. Describe two methods for segmenting and documenting a work break down structure (WBS).
Phase Segmentation

Description: Break down the project into distinct phases or stages, such as project initiation,
website development, content creation, and evaluation.

Example: In the web design project, you can have phases like planning, content development,
website design, and project closure.

Task Segmentation

Description: Divide each phase into specific tasks or activities required for completion. Example:
Under the website design phase, tasks may include selecting a website developer, content
creation, and implementing SEO optimization.

Student Assessment Tasks

7. Identify and describe two problem areas likely to be encountered in scope management.
Unapproved Content Addition

Description: The Marketing Manager's request to add a newsletter and blogs after project approval
can lead to scope creep, impacting content creation, costs, and timelines.

Divergent Website Developer Choices

Description: Choosing a website developer with varying costs and timelines may introduce
challenges, affecting the overall scope of the web design project. This can lead to issues in quality,
time management, and budget adherence.

8. Explain the concept of the project life cycle and the importance of scope management within
this cycle.
Project Life Cycle Concept

Explanation: The project life cycle is the sequence of stages a project goes through from initiation
to closure. In this case, it includes initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and
closing.

Importance of Scope Management

Explanation: Scope management is crucial because it defines and controls what's included and not
included in the project. This helps prevent scope creep, ensures project objectives are met, and
contributes to successful project completion within the defined parameters.

9. Identify three project management tools and explain their use in project scope management.
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

Use: It helps break down the project into manageable components, aiding in organizing and
documenting the scope.

Change Request Form

Use: It's a tool to initiate and document changes to the project scope, ensuring a formal process for
scope adjustments.

Project Scope Template

Use: It guides in identifying project benefits, outcomes, and outputs, facilitating the documentation
of the project's scope in a structured manner.

10. Outline the key role and at least four responsibilities of a project manager when planning a
project.
Responsibilities

Defining Project Objectives: Clearly outline what the project aims to achieve.
Stakeholder Engagement: Involve relevant parties like the Marketing Manager and Operations
Manager in decision-making.

Student Assessment Tasks

Activities
Complete the following activities:

1. Carefully read the following:

This project requires you to determine and manage a project scope on two
separate occasions. For each project scope, you must obtain project authorisation,
develop a scope management plan and manage project scope changes.
You can do this for two real projects at your workplace, for two projects associated
with a start-up business you are working on yourself or you can use the Simulation
Pack provided.

Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical skills
that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen career.
For this reason, basing your project on real relationships with classmates or work
colleagues will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a relevant,
practical and meaningful way!

If you use your own business or workplace, make sure it has policies and
procedures that address project management (including project authorisation and
change control procedures) and communication protocols already developed. Your
projects should require at least one scope change each (see step 6 for more
details). You should also have sufficient numerical information to monitor the
impact of the scope changes to the timing, cost and quality constraints of the
project. Speak to your assessor to get approval if you want to base this on your
own business.
If you are basing this assessment on the case study business, read through the
Simulation Pack in preparation for this assessment. All the information needed to
complete this assessment is contained in the Simulation pack.
You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you
need to take are outlined below. Before you begin, complete page 4 of your Project
Portfolio. You must describe the organisation you are basing this assessment on
and provide a short description of two projects for which you’ll manage the scope.

Start working on Section 1 of your project portfolio. Steps 2 and 3 form part of
i
Section 1.
If you are basing this assessment on Grow Management Consultants, further
information to complete the next steps is available in the Simulation Pack.

2. For each project, write a project authorisation request.

Before you begin, make sure you are familiar with any policies, procedures,
i
protocols and templates that address project management.

i Separate authorisation requests are required for each project.

If your business has its own Project authorisation template, use it (make sure you
include all the requirements listed above). Otherwise, use the template provided in
the Simulation Pack.
The text of the Project authorisation request should be in grammatically correct
English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.

3. Seek authorisation to proceed.

Draft an email to an appropriate senior manager to request authorisation for your

project (assume that your written Project authorisation request is attached to the
email).
Your email should introduce and summarise the contents of the written Project
authorisation request and seek their feedback and approval to move forward with
the project. In particular:
 confirm that the details in the Project authorisation request are approved.
 seek authorisation to utilise the listed resources.

guide your discussion.

At the meeting, you will be required to:

 negotiate project boundaries (such as the budget or timelines)
 agree on the desired project outcomes.

of your portfolio). Your assessor can provide you with more details at this step.
Make sure you follow the instructions above and meet the timeframes allocated.
During the meeting, you will need to demonstrate effective communication and
negotiation skills including:
 speaking clearly and concisely
 using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
 asking questions to identify required information
 responding to questions as required
 using active listening techniques to confirm understanding
