Assessment Task
In a group of 2 students, devise project scope and quality management plans that articulate the scope
and quality approaches for the project in the assigned Case Study provided by your Learning
Facilitator.
Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.

Context
The backbone of a project manager’s work is the Project Management Plan. This plan details the
project's execution, monitoring, and control. It combines all of the planning's sub-plans and baselines.
You and your group will create a Project Management Plan for your assigned Case Study in this
assessment. Applying scope and quality tools and techniques to develop the scope statement and
scope and quality management plans of a project is a crucial part of project planning. One of the keys
to project success is effective scope management. Project Scope Management includes processes to
ensure that the project includes all work required to complete it successfully.

PROJ6002_Assessment_2_Brief_Plans_Module 3 Page 1 of 6
A project's quality management plan defines quality requirements, standards for the project and its
deliverables, and how the project will demonstrate compliance. One of the main benefits of this
process is that it provides guidance and direction on how quality will be managed and validated
throughout the project.

Instructions

1. Connect with your assigned group members (provided by your Learning Facilitator).
2. Analyse the project from your own perspectives as up-and-coming project manager
3. Your group will devise subsidiary Project Management plans for Scope and Quality, using
the assigned Case Study provided on Blackboard by your Learning Facilitator.
a) Although all students will receive the same case study, you are expected to
complete this task and create a distinct set of plans in your group.
b) These project scope and quality management plans and supporting documentation
must include, but not be limited to, the following components:

● Project Goals and Objectives

● Project Scope Statement
● Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
● Quality Responsibilities
● Approaches to Quality Assurance, Control and Improvement
● Quality Metrics

4. Write 2600 words and describe the processes, tools, and techniques used in your scope
and quality management plans, as well as your justification for the quality metrics
selected.
5. You can use the template in this subject’s Learning Resources or create your own to devise
the subsidiary project scope and quality management plans.

6. After completing your plans and supporting documentation, each member of your group
should reflect on your respective contributions to the assessment and then (individually)
complete the Group Contribution Survey.

It is essential that you use the most recent edition of APA style for citing and referencing research.
