Introduction
Before starting work:
Please read this entire document. It contains helpful information about the assigned assessment tasks
and how to present your work.
This assessment covers the following Units of Competency (UOC/s):
- BSBPMG530 Manage project scope
Unit Descriptors
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to determine and manage project scope.
It involves obtaining project authorisation, developing a scope management plan, and
managing the application of project scope controls.
It applies to individuals responsible for managing and leading a project in an organisation,

business or as a consultant.
Assessment Requirements
For more information relating to the RTO assessment requirements, including the management of
student progression, please refer to the NSW Health Student Handbook. For course specific
assessment requirements, please refer to the Course Guide.
1. Students are required to complete all the assessment tasks included in this document. The
assessment tasks are summarised in the Assessment Plan in this document.
2. Your assessor will discuss all of the assessment requirements with you prior to undertaking this
cluster. The deadline for completion of this assessment will also be discussed at this time.
3. You can hand in your completed assessments before it is due. If however, you cannot hand it in by
the due date, you will need to negotiate with your Program Coordinator prior to the assessment
due date (except in circumstances that prevent you from doing so).
4. Should you fail to submit your assessment on time and without prior approval for an extension,
after a period of two weeks you will be deemed not competent and your manager will be notified
of this outcome. If at a later date you are able to negotiate the resubmission of your assessment
with your Program Coordinator and you are deemed competent, this outcome will be changed.
5. Following submission of your assessment, you will be provided with feedback and if required,
further training may be arranged to facilitate achievement of competency.
6. If on second attempt you are unable to meet the requirements, an interview will be held with your
Program Coordinator to assist further development and achievement of competency.
7. The Student has the right to appeal an assessment decision at any time. (Please refer to NSW RTO
Student Handbook for the Appeals process).
Your assessor will advise you of the due dates for each of the assessments, or in the case of a
workplace observation/s, the date/s and time/s of the observation.
Assessment Plan
Guidelines and instructions are provided for each assessment activity throughout the document.
Please familiarise yourself with these requirements prior to undertaking them.
Assessment Task 1: Short Answer Activities

Students will be asked to answer written questions outlined in Assessment Task 1.
Assessment Task 2: Scope Management Plan

Students will be asked to prepare a Scope Management Plan based on their workplace project. A
template has been provided for students to complete.
Recognition of Prior Learning and Credit Transfer

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows experienced individuals to
gain a full or part qualification by producing evidence of what they already know, can do, and have
done.
RPL provides an opportunity for prospective students to gain recognition based on the skills and
knowledge they have recently gained through experience, as well as any training that have been
completed outside of formal training arrangements.
RPL has many benefits:

 Students can finish their training earlier
 It avoids duplication of training and maximises its value
 It creates a learning culture by valuing and recognising learning that has occurred in the
workplace.
You may want to apply for RPL or Course Credit. For more information please refer to the NSW Health
RTO Student Handbook and discuss this with your Program Coordinator.
Reasonable Adjustment
A ‘reasonable adjustment’ is an adjustment to the assessment process or materials that allows a
student with a disability fair access to the assessment, and fair opportunity to successfully complete it.
Adjustments must be reasonable and must not compromise the integrity of the assessment.
Examples of reasonable adjustment could include: providing support to individual students, assistive
technology, modifying the assessment process or the format of materials, or adjusting the physical
environment.
Make sure you discuss your assessment needs with your Program Coordinator/assessor prior to the
assessment.
Assessment Cover Sheet Requirements
Before you start the assessment tasks, your Program Coordinator/assessor will have discussed with
you a timetable for submission. If you are required to:
1. Submit all tasks together at the one time, you will need to complete and provide one Assessment
Cover Sheet. This will be placed as the first page or file of your submission document OR
2. Submit tasks in parts and progressively, you will need to provide an Assessment Cover Sheet for
each submission OR
3. Re-submit an assessment task, you will need to submit a new Assessment Cover Sheet.
The Assessment Cover Sheet can be found in Appendix 1.
More Information?
You will find more information about assessment in the NSW Health RTO Student Handbook, including
our assessment policies and procedures, as well as what to do if you do not agree on the outcome of
an assessment, an assessment appeal.
