Assignment 2 - PCR EduStream Assignment

ICT201 – Information Technology Project Management

Assignment 2
Project Closure Review
INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION
This is an INDIVIDUAL activity, which must be uploaded as a part of the Assignment 2 package, as
specified within the Assignment 2 Information Sheet.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Each team member must individually complete a Project Closure Review (PCR). Start this early and finish
this once the other deliverables are finalised for Assignment 2. Put some thought into this and look at each
aspect for each team member individually. A lack of thought will be readily apparent and will be marked
accordingly. As an example of what not to do - marking everyone with 5s would be a clear indicator that
you did not give this due thought. Additionally, simply copying content from one person to another may
be assessed as plagiarism and will be dealt with accordingly. Don’t fall into this trap. This exercise is
actually more important than you might think. When you get out into the industry it is likely that you will
have to complete what are commonly called 360° Performance Reviews. These are often similar in
approach to the PCR. If you don’t do these properly it can have an adverse effect on your career. Therefore,
take the opportunity to learn the principles now, as it is likely to pay dividends later.
When you have completed your PCR, save it as an Adobe file (.pdf) using the naming convention explained
on Pages 4 and 5 of the Assignment 2 Information Sheet. Once you have converted the file to Adobe format
upload this directly into the LMS for Assignment 2.
No other person may change another person’s responses in the PCR. If the comments or marks of
one person are modified by someone else, this may result in automatic failure for every member of
that group.

SOME KEY HINTS FOR FILLING OUT THIS FORM

 Be honest. You are not doing anyone a favour by protecting people who did not provide the required support. This would simply mean that they will not gain
the knowledge they need in the industry, so they are effectively wasting their money doing the unit. Therefore, be honest to help them.
 It is important that you give the marks provided for each criteria some real thought. Just marking everything as the same score would be an indicator that
insufficient thought was given to these matters, and the mark allocated to your PCR form would reflect that.
 It is highly recommended that you add other remarks. The inclusion of these explanatory remarks will be deemed as an indicator that you have given more
thought to the issues.
 If it becomes apparent that students have simply copied from other students, then the marks for this deliverable may be nullified. It is important that you get
used to doing 360-degree reporting prior to getting into the industry. Therefore, put some careful thought into this.
