Task Summary
In Assessment 1, you developed a business case and project charter for a real-world scenario project.
In this assessment, you will progress the real-world scenario project from Assessment 1 and develop
a project schedule for that project. You are required to answer questions related to project schedule
management, cost management, resource management, risk management, communication
management and stakeholder management.
Context:
In response to the case study provided, write a consultative report focusing on the various processes
in project knowledge areas, including the management of project schedule, cost, resources, risk,
communication and stakeholders.
This assessment requires you to apply various tools and techniques you have learned in managing
project schedule, cost, resources, risk, communication and stakeholders to a real-life case scenario.
Assuming the role of the project manager, you will progress the real-world scenario project from
Assessment 1. You will be asked to go through a number of processes in the project knowledge areas
and generate outputs including subsidiary plans of a project management plan for those processes.
This assessment provides you with an opportunity to view the various processes in managing a
project and develop an appreciation of schedule-cost-scope-risk trade-off and the importance of
communication in managing stakeholders.
