Assessment: Project Human Resource Plan

The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) identi�es a number of elements required to

develop an e�ective plan for organising and managing a project team – a group of people charged

with responsibilities for completing a project. Emphasis is on PMBOK processes for (a) human

resource planning, (b) acquiring the project team, (c) developing the team, and (d) managing the

project team.

In this assessment you will work with a group on a formal Human Resource (HR) plan, to be

submitted at the end of Module 5. The assessment requires that your group develop a project HR

plan for the organisation highlighted in the case study presented in Module 1. The assessment is

divided into two parts, as follows:

Part A (Due at the end of Module 4):

Part A will contain the following components:

A draft organisational chart for the project teams: Which of the functional roles will be represented on each of these project teams?

A team building plan: What strategies and approaches will you use to e�ectively build a team that will work together in a project management approach to achieve each of the goals?

Part B: (Due at the end of Module 5):

Part B will contain the following components:
