The purpose of this assessment is to assess the student in the Competent Not yet
following learning outcomes: (C) Competent
(NYC)
1.1 Develop the work breakdown structure with sufficient detail to
enable effective planning and control
1.2 Estimate the duration and effort, sequence and dependencies of
tasks to achieve project deliverables

schedule impact on project time management, resource
requirements, costs and risks
1.4 Contribute to achieving an agreed schedule baseline and
communication of the schedule to stakeholders
2.1 Implement mechanisms to measure, record and report progress
of activities in relation to the agreed schedule
2.2 Conduct ongoing analysis to identify baseline variance
2.4 Review progress throughout the project life cycle and implement
agreed schedule changes
2.5 Develop responses to potential or actual schedule changes and
implement them to maintain project objectives
3.1 Review schedule performance records to determine the
effectiveness of time-management activities
3.2 Identify and document time-management issues and

Assessment/evidence gathering conditions
Each assessment component is recorded as either Competent (C) or Not Yet Competent (NYC). A
student can only achieve competence when all assessment components listed under “Purpose of the
assessment” section are recorded as competent. Your trainer will give you feedback after the completion
of each assessment. A student who is assessed as NYC (Not Yet Competent) is eligible for re-
assessment.
Weekly eLearning notes relevant to the tasks/questions should be read prior to undertaking the
assessment.
Instructions for Students
Task 1 – Written responses and completion of two activities 1) resource estimation and 2) network analysis
This task comprises of two parts which consists of Part A, written responses and Part B, time management
activities, to assess your knowledge and understanding to manage time within a project of your choice. The
time management activity, Part B, also has sub-activities (B1 & B2) that requires you to apply your skills
determining and implementing the project schedule, and assessing time management outcome that reflects
effective planning and control and use of project scheduling tools and techniques to identify schedule impact
on project time management. You are required to respond to all the tasks by demonstrating your skills and
knowledge within the assessment guidelines and requirements. Certain tasks have been developed with
templates, tables, and sections with appropriate spaces, in which you will have to complete and/or provide
information to ensure you demonstrate the skills and knowledge of the units. Marking criteria have been
provided to support the student’s understanding of the requirement for each task.
This activity has been designed to assess your knowledge and understanding of managing project time
within projects.
This task consists of questionnaires which reflect the knowledge of project management (PMBOK). The
responses should include the following:
Must be relevant to your project as stated in BSBPMG511 Manage Project Scope, unless otherwise
stated. Responses should link to the theoretical aspects of project time management followed by
relevant experience / exposure of your nominated project you recently or are currently working on to
progress both your studies and your projects simultaneously. Your response to the questionnaires
must relate to the same project topic chosen for BSBPMG511 Manage Project Scope subject unit.
However, if you have started with this subject topic as an initial attempt of this course, you must
negotiate and discuss with your Assessor to consider a project that you recently or are currently
working on or a project that you have worked in the past.
If workplace project exposure does not apply to you, you must negotiate with your assessor to use a
scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning. However, case study examples are a
suitable substitute where workplace examples cannot be provided. Case studies are available on e-
learning. Theory answers without reference to your experience will not be assessed as satisfactory
Demonstrate that you can or have applied what you have learnt to your project, regardless of
whether you have undertaken all the performance requirements in your workplace
Task 2 – Portfolio of Evidence
The portfolio of evidence comprises the assessment of the application of your project time management
knowledge. You will need to demonstrate your management skills to manage time which includes
determining and implementing the project schedule and assessing time management outcomes during
project which is based on the project you have chosen for BSBPMG511 Manage Project Scope subject
unit. It should state relevant experience / exposure of your nominated project you recently have or are
currently working on to progress both your studies and your projects simultaneously.
If you have started with this subject topic as an initial attempt of completing this course, you must
negotiate and discuss with your Assessor to consider a project that you recently or are currently working
on or a project that you have worked in the past.
If workplace project exposure does not apply to you, you must negotiate with your assessor to use a
scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning. However, case study examples are a

techniques accommodate to the performance requirements of each Unit of Competency prior to start of work
on the unit.
Your nominated project must be agreed between you and your Assessor so that its methodology, tools and
techniques accommodate to the performance requirements of each Unit of Competency prior to start of work
on the unit.
