Produce your answers for the case in question. DO NOT write about the theory or
explain what PMBOK, PRINCE2, DMAIC methodology, etc covers. That will not
attract any marks. You should demonstrate the application of the best practices not the
theory.
Discuss with your lecturer / tutor if you need help.
Word count limit (excluding references and appendix). Your submission should be made
using a Microsoft WORD document of 2,500 - 3,000 words. Text length less than 2500 words
will be penalised by 5% of the total available marks while text beyond the 3000 word limit will
attract a penalty as follows:
Academic Integrity
All assignments will be checked for plagiarism (material copied from other students and/or
material copied from other sources) using TurnItIn (TII). If you are found to have plagiarised
material or if you have used someone else’s words without appropriate referencing, you will
be penalised for plagiarism which could result in 0 (zero) marks for the whole assignment. In
some circumstances a more severe penalty may be imposed. The link to the University’s
Academic Misconduct Procedures is available in the unit profile.

Submission requirements
You will see a link for submission of Assignment 1 in the Dashboard page and also in Week
9 for this unit in Moodle.
Please note that auto-submission process does not work for assessments which have extensions.
Auto-submission only works where the original deadline of an assessment has not changed. If
you are submitting after the deadline (original or extended), you must complete the Moodle
submission process. Further details on completing the submission process are available via the
‘Moodle Help for Students’ link in the SUPPORT block of your Moodle pages.
Warning. Having said that, however, you should not completely rely on Moodle’s auto-
submission functionality because it has not been proved to be reliable in the past. Each student
should make sure they submit their assignment before the deadline by manually clicking on the
submission button.
Complete and correct submission. Assignments, once submitted, are FINAL and therefore
cannot be modified. Students bear all the onus to ensure that their submissions are correct
(correct files in correct format) and complete before submitting to Moodle.
