INTERIM ASSESSMENT

INTERIM ASSESSMENT Purpose Defining a project is a critical and important step in the project management process as it sets the foundation for the project planning. The purpose of this assessment is to provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your advanced understanding of the principles and techniques which are applied to defining a new project. Assessment brief Your task is to define a new project. This could be a potential new project that you or your organisation have in mind. Alternatively, you could relate this to a past project or a project in progress; however, in this case, you need to assume that you have been provided the opportunity to re-define the project towards better project performance and propose it as a new project. Write a report defining your project. Your report must include: • Provide a title for your project • Write about the project context and explain why this project is required, who are the key stakeholders and what are their expectations of the project purpose. • Define the project scope (Project purpose, Project description, Project objectives, Deliverables, Milestones schedule, Success criteria, key assumptions and the limits of the scope) • Establish the project priorities • Create the work breakdown structure (abstract level)
