Student Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task 1 Instructions

Provide answers to all of the questions below:

1. List three project management tools and explain their use in project management.
Ans :- Gantt chart can help in arranging and overseeing ventures by breaking an enormous undertaking into
a progression of littler assignments in a sorted out manner. Each undertaking has a normal time length
which is exhibited by an even bar whose left end shows the starting date of the assignment and whose
correct end demonstrates the finish date of the errand. Undertakings may run successively, in parallel or
covering. During the procedure, significant occasions can be featured as "Achievement" which is set apart
by a little precious stone shape.

PERT is shorted for venture assessment and survey strategy. It's an essential venture the executives device
utilized for arranging and planning whole activities and following the usage stage. PERT chart can likewise
show task division, time assignment, and beginning and completion dates. Not at all like Gantt outline who
uses bars to speak to errands, PERT chart shows data as a system model that utilizations boxes to speak to
undertakings and bolts to introduce conditions between assignments.

Timeline help in tracking project progress. With a timetable, you can obviously envision by what time an
assignment should be finished. It is a progressively consecutive route at taking a gander at assignments
after some time. In any case, course of events isn't as well known as Gantt graph since it has constraints in
demonstrating task conditions and the finishing state.

2. Explain the use of a GANTT chart in project management.


Gantt diagram can help in arranging and overseeing ventures by breaking a huge undertaking into a
progression of littler errands in a composed manner. Each errand has a normal time span which is displayed
by a flat bar whose left end demonstrates the starting date of the assignment and whose correct end shows
the consummation date of the undertaking. Errands may run successively, in parallel or covering. During the
procedure, significant occasions can be featured as "Achievement" which is set apart by a little diamond
shape.
From a Cantt graph, you can unmistakably perceive what the sub assignments are and when each
undertaking starts and closures. Introducing a visual outline of the venture, you can without much of a
stretch track the advancement by observing what ought to occur at any phase in the task.

3. Explain the use of a PERT chart in project management.


The Program (or Project) Evaluation and Review Technique, routinely condensed as PERT, is a kind of the
Network Diagram adventure the officials mechanical assemblies we just analyzed. Spunky is in like manner
used for perceiving the essential path for the assignment. This technique was made to streamline organizing
and arranging gigantic and complex endeavors and making logically reasonable assessments of the term of
each development.

4. Explain the use of a work breakdown structure in project management.


WBS, otherwise called work separate structure, is a typical task the board device imagines the extent of
work by breaking an undertaking into singular parts that can be adequately planned. The WBS is a tree style
structure with the general undertaking on the top; trailed by venture areas and further into singular errands.
WBS models are like a flowchart that has its segments connected coherently. The parts might be clarified in
content, or in boxes.

5. Explain the use of the critical path method in project management.


Critical Path Method (CPM) is a calculation for arranging, overseeing and investigating the planning of a
task. The bit by bit CPM framework recognizes basic and non-basic assignments from undertakings'
beginning to finishing and forestalls transitory dangers. Basic errands have a zero run-time hold.

6. Outline three types of documents and sources of information that are used to define the parameters of a
project.
1. Project Budget: It's basic to follow your task spending plan. This record enables you to follow all
expenses related with your venture. Undertaking costs incorporate assets, equipment, programming, and
merchants.
2. Communication Plan: This is a key undertaking report since it proactively conveys to the entirety of your
partners your communication media, recurrence of communication, and communication content. You don't
need your partners speculating about your communication procedure.
3. Quality Assurance (QA) Test Plan: Reviewing and approving your undertakings' QA archive could set
aside time and cash later during your venture testing stage. The QA record contains the testing
methodology, testing devices (mechanization), significant level span, and various QA analyzers.

7. Explain the importance of planning for risks in a project and list three processes that can be used to identify
risks as part of a risk assessment process for a project.
Risk management is an embodiment of undertaking the board. It expands the odds of your prosperity up as
it were. Following are a portion of the advantages of creating and executing an effective hazard the board
plan while taking a shot at any venture. Like everything else on an undertaking, you're going to need to
strategize and have the instruments set up to receive the benefits that might be seeded in positive risk.
Following are the ways to identify risk:
1. The main thing you'll need to know is if the risk is something you can misuse. That implies making
sense of approaches to improve the probability of that risk occurring.
2. Next, you might need to share the risk. Now and then only you are not prepared to exploit the risk,
and by including others you increment the chance of yielding the best result from the risk.
3. At long last, there might be nothing to do by any means, and that is actually what you should do.
Nothing. You can apply this to negative risk also, for not accomplishing something is once in a while
the best thing you can do when stood up to with a particular risk with regards to your venture.

8. Explain the importance of a risk management plan in identifying and managing risks for a project.
Effective risk management strategies allow you to identify your project’s strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats. By planning for unexpected events, you can be ready to respond if they arise. To
ensure your project’s success, define how you will handle potential risks so you can identify, mitigate or
avoid problems when you need to do. Successful project managers recognize that risk management is
important, because achieving a project’s goals depends on planning, preparation, results and evaluation
that contribute to achieving strategic goals.

9. Explain risk avoidance in project management.


Risk avoidance is the elimination of hazards, activities and exposures that can contrarily influence an
association's benefits. While chance administration means to control the harms and budgetary results of
undermining occasions, risk avoidance seeks to avoid compromising events entirely.

10. Explain the use of risk mitigation strategies in project management.

a. risk reduction - when we take a few measures (counter measure) to lessen the hazard to a
satisfactory level.

Aventia Institute, RTO No. 41418 Page 10


BSBPMG522 Undertake project work
Student Assessment Tasks

b. risk transfer - when we move the risk to someone else or element. Practically speaking,
organizations can for example get a protection (move of risk to a protection office) or can move the
hazard to another organization by methods for re-appropriating.
c. risk avoidance - when we choose not to understand our aim from which the risk emerges, for
instance, it implies that we won't dispatch our extend or won't finish up an agreement.

11. Explain the concept of risk acceptance in project management.


Through the span of a given project, there will be various occasions throughout the venture's separate life
cycle that the task supervisory group, as well as the venture supervisory group pioneer, will wind up in a
situation where they understand that a specific segment with regards to the undertaking and additionally a
specific feature of that task does in actuality accompany a set or arrangement of intrinsic risk. At the point
when this assurance of risk is made, the task supervisory group and additionally venture supervisory crew
pioneer must make an evaluation about what the following game-plan will be in endeavouring to manage
and additionally limit these dangers. Much of the time, the undertaking supervisory crew, as well as venture
supervisory crew, may make the assurance that the best strategy is to go amiss from the already decide
venture the board plan such that best enhances or potentially limits the risk. Notwithstanding, in specific
cases, the undertaking supervisory group or potentially venture supervisory group pioneer may in certainty
make the assurance that the dangers are justified, despite all the trouble because of the need as well as the
significance of the segment being referred to, and additionally because of an absence of a sensible other
option, and for this situation, it is known as risk acceptance.

Currently the business is selling its products through a number of small supermarkets and health stores
throughout Australia. The company also has a very basic website that includes four pages: home, about us,
products and contact details.
The company’s overall business objectives for the next three years are to increase sales and create brand
awareness, develop a broader product range, as well as expand into overseas markets, most likely Hong
Kong, Japan and Singapore.
The company’s target customers are those that enjoy gourmet foods.
The age range of Australian consumers buying products is between 35 and 65.

income of $80,000.
The company currently employs the following staff in its head office: CEO, Operations Manager, Marketing
Coordinator, Customer Service Officer and two administration staff.
Ten staff are employed in the factory making and distributing the products.
As the Marketing Coordinator, you have been asked by the Operations Manager to coordinate a project to
develop a new website. The Operations Manager is ultimately responsible for the management of the
project but has assigned significant responsibility to you. The new website is seen as a critical part of the
company’s expansion strategy, and the Operations Manager has advised that you will need to develop a
project scoping for the website to present to senior management, as well a project management plan.
The Operations Manager has also advised you that the new website is classified as a Medium Project. The
project team is to consist of yourself, the Customer Service Officer who has been assigned to assist you
with this project, and the Operations Manager.
The Operations Manager has advised that the website is to include a shopping cart, so customers can order
products directly through the website. He would also like customers to be able to access recipes and
general information about the health benefits of bush spices.

The company has long wanted to commission a new logo, and it has been decided to do this now, in
conjunction with the new website. The Native Bush Spices marketing team will then use the logo across all
of the company’s communication. It has been allotted a budget separately from the website, but it is
understood that the company that designs the website will also design the new logo too.

Assessment Task 4: Project evaluation

Task summary
This assessment task requires the student to finalise the Native Bush Spices Australia website development
project by developing a project evaluation report.

This assessment is to be completed in the simulated work environment in the RTO.

Carefully read the following:

The project is now complete, with the outcomes as follows:

The web site is now live. There has been very positive feedback amongst all staff about the look and
content of the web site. The web site designers were very professional and easy to deal with.
It is four months since the project commenced. Delays occurred because of the following:
● The web site developer could not complete the web site within the required timelines as originally stated
in their quote.
● There were additional delays due to the customer service officer’s departure and changes to the web site
during the development as a result of the project manager’s input.
● The design of the logo took longer – see below.

The estimated cost for the logo was doubled because the first designer employed was unable to develop a
logo to the company’s liking and so a new logo designer was contracted. This therefore doubled the costs
as the first designer, as well as the second designer needed to be paid.
Training will be required in web site maintenance to ensure information is regularly updated e.g. the
newsletter. Training should ideally be provided to the administration staff.

Complete the following activities:

1. Meet with team to finalise project


Review the information above and then meet with your team (your assessor and another student) to get
their input on the project. This will on a date and time advised by your assessor.

previous roles
Before concluding the meeting, ensure that all project team members have the opportunity to give feedback.
The customer service officer will provide you with some feedback, which you will need to acknowledge and
note for your project evaluation report.
Gain verbal confirmation from all team members that they can transition to their other tasks following project
completion and offer your support as necessary.
During the meeting, you will need to demonstrate effective communication skills including:
● Speaking clearly and concisely
● Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding

https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/has-your-project-jumped-the-shark.php

1. How often should project financials be reviewed and re-forecasted if required?


The Project financials should be reviewed every week and re-forecasted every week.

2. What level of overrun might be acceptable and what is not?


Overun to be acceptable will be 10% level and not more than 30% is acceptable.

Review the following link:


https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/documenting-lessons-learned-what-have-you-learned.php

3. What type of lessons learned should be documented?


Mistakes of past projects

4. Briefly explain the best time to capture lessons learned from project and why?
The best time to get these items documented is right after they have happened. Otherwise, people tend to
forget about what they did or even gloss over the problems and issues that occurred.

5. Who should provide input into lessons learned?


People in the team should provide input.

6. Should project lesson information be stored? Explain why or why not?


Project lesson information need to be stored as It is vital that this information is preserved so that the
organisation and the project teams can have it the next time a similar project is being executed. Without the
lessons learned from previous projects, future projects will fall into the same routines and pitfalls that
occurred in previous projects.

Review the following link:

https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/capturing-those-lessons-learned.php

7. Give three reasons why lessons learned may not be documented.


a. Lack of clear guidelines around collecting the information.
b. Lack of processes to capture information
c. Lack of knowledge base to store and search information captured for future us
