Module Assessment Components

In the following pages, further details of each assessment component are presented along with expectations in relation to prior preparation and completion.

1. Assignment 1

Based on your readings and your personal experiences, prepare a 2 page summary (750 words maximum) of your understanding of the role of project management in today’s business environment.

Guidelines for assignment 1: Consider your workplace; are you involved in projects. If so, what is your assessment of how well they are selected, managed, resourced, appraised, and closed? If you are not involved in projects, can you talk to someone who is? Even if project management does not exist in your workplace, is there scope to introduce it? If not, why not? (What are the barriers?). What elements of project management could you introduce into your own daily tasks?
