Assessment This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake a
information and straightforward project or a section of a larger project. It covers
scope developing a project plan, administering and monitoring the project,
finalising the project and reviewing the project to identify lessons learned
for application to future projects. This unit applies to individuals who play
a significant role in ensuring a project meets timelines, quality standards,
budgetary limits and other requirements set for the project. The key
outcomes are:
Define a project
Develop a project plan
Administer and monitor a project
Finalise a project
Review a project
TASK 2: Questioning
Purpose You will demonstrate a sound knowledge of the unit
requirements in your responses to questions.
Resources required You may use the learning resources and relevant documents and
training materials to research information when answering
questions.
1. List two organisational documents or resources that can help define project parameters.
The organisational documents/resources that can help define project parameters are:
Risk Register
Budget
Time Frame
Budget: Resources ( Human & Physical )
It is really important and an essential part of the project to have a budget, which will define how
much moneyLegalis Document
to be used for the project. Having a budget gives the manager the opportunity to
work on allocating budgets for specific parts of the project like:

2. Choose one document or resource from Question 1 and explain how it helps define
project parameters.
3. Imagine you are managing part of a project. You need to understand what your
responsibility is for this project: what are two questions you might ask, or two
considerations you might have?
Questions or considerations for the person managing the project when identifying the extent of their
responsibility can be:
• Who will I report to?
• Will there be any project staff reporting to me?
• What kind of decision making authority I have?
• Am I the only one responsible for delivering on all project outcomes, on time and on
budget?
• Will I work alone or will I have some team members?
• What resources are available for me to use as the project is executed?
√√ JT 22/05/19
4. Provide two examples that explain why it’s important for a project manager to
take into account organisational objectives and the relationship of one project to
It is important for a project manager executing a project to take into organisational objectives as:
• The project that is to be developed or started is for the benefit of the company with respect to the
objectives of the project that are aligned with company’s objectives
• It is also important for the project manager to follow the budget plan that the company has set for
the project.
Relationship of the project to the other objects fits within the big picture that helps the project manager to
gain the perspective when negotiating for resources or funding. It is important for the project manager when
identifying the projects relationships to other projects to ask certain questions like:
• Will other projects take the focus or the resources from my own project?
• Is there a sense of one project being more urgent, critical or important than another?
• Can I meet with other project managers to share information?
• Is my own project dependent in any way on the successful completion of another project?
other projects.
5. Identify two factors a project manager should consider when allocating human
resources to a project.
Time required for the project, assigned time for the personnel and also how
many people we need to allocate in a particular project
Hire people with abilities and skills focused on the project
√√ JT 22/05/19 There are different fonts on this page which indicate cutting/ting from different
sources??
6. Provide two examples of project management tools and explain how each can
contribute to project management.
Managing risks means for a manager basically means that the manager provides effective
methods of monitoring and controlling each identified risk, there are five steps to identify risks
which are:
1. Identify the Risk.
2. Analyse the risk.
3. Evaluate or Rank the Risk.
4. Treat the Risk.
5. Monitor and Review the risk.
There is a possibility that the risk might occur to the project like:
Risk
Proofreading of the project is not done properly by team members.
Action
The manager should always double check the report or the project after it is finalised and before
giving it further to the senior management
Risk
Supplier contracted for the project won’t be able to supply the goods or items on time
Action
The manager should make sure as a contingency plan that there is a second supplier on hold if
the first supplier fails to perform his duties
controlled.
8. Give two suggestions to identify and manage WHS risk in a project (imagine a
project with WHS risk)
In a company it is evident that there may contain some WHS risks and as a project manager it’s his
duty to be alert to the health and safety requirements of project team members, stakeholders and
external groups. WHS issues in a company requires special attention, particularly during projects.
WHS risks can be identified/managed by:
Consulting with the designated safety personnel or health and safety committee
(HSC) to find out exactly what the responsibilities and obligations are during the
project’s duration.
Talk to the team members about the risks they have identified and ask them
whether they have ideas concerning the prevention of workplace injuries.
√√ JT 22/05/19
9. Explain the difference between direct and indirect costs, and give an example of each.
Task overview You receive an email from Gina Harris, Human Resources Manager.
and context Subject: Professional development project
Hello,
I understand that Phase 2 of the retail staff leadership/customer
service/first aid professional development project is complete. This is the
pilot program that included staff from three stores across Victoria and
Tasmania. I wish to congratulate you on implementing this program as
the Project Manager.
Senior management would like to see a review report of the pilot as
soon as possible. It is important that the VIC/TAS project team acts
quickly on this. The report will be used to secure funding for the next
phase of the project; that is, rolling out the program to the remaining
VIC/TAS regional stores. The company is also keen to see a review of
project outcomes with a view to extending the program to other states.
I have reviewed the responses collected from stakeholders and compiled
a list of those that seem to capture the common threads. This list is
included below.
There are some interesting insights that will help shape the project as
we progress with it. We may need to undertake more detailed
discussion with staff with a view to reviewing the units nominated for
delivery. Some of these units may be missing the target and therefore
not be the best use of company resources. I have provided a document
that highlights two that perhaps need to be reconsidered.
Please prepare and forward to me a draft review report discussing project
outcomes against the project scope. See the “Resources required” section
for how to access the project scope and other relevant documents.
I have provided details of what should be included in the review report
in the “Instructions” section that follows.
Regards,
Gina Harris
Human Resources Manager
Pre-training survey responses
‘I’d like to develop my leadership skills so that I can step up into a
supervisor’s role and feel like I have a future with the company.’ [Gina:
Maybe we’re missing the opportunity to implement succession planning and
we’re not offering a career path opportunity?]
‘My supervisor wants me to do some learning on providing product advice.
But I already do this well as I’ve received a state customer service
excellence award for junior retail staff.’ [Gina: Have the right people been
targeted with the most appropriate units of competency?]
‘All staff should have first aid, not just permanents.’ [Gina: Agreed, as this
demonstrates that the company is proactively meeting its duty of care and
community responsibilities. How much more does it cost to train casuals
who need first aid training?]
Post-training survey responses
[Gina: The selected comments are common threads I picked up on from
looking at the trainee reviews. Do you think it’d be a good idea to initiate
a follow-up/project team discussion of these?]
Delivery/content/units
‘The operate retail technology unit was a waste of time. Everyone in the
group knew how to use POS equipment.’
‘What we were asked to do for the Lead and Manage People unit was
way above what some of the group were capable of. And the
assessment was way too difficult.’
Learning resources
‘Management learning resources were really light on for useful
information. I had to do a lot of Googling to find the information I
needed to help complete assignments.’
Timing and duration
‘I found the amount of training really demanding. There wasn’t enough
time to do tasks properly. I felt rushed and under pressure, trying to
squeeze things in around work and home.’
Trainer/s
‘Having in-house training staff is useful from the point of view of them
knowing how the company works, but it was better working with
someone who had a good understanding of retail and retail supervision.’
Assessment
‘Some of the assessment tasks were really demanding. Seemed to ask
for more than what our role requires.’
Project You will be undertaking your project as part of a small team, up to 4
Instructions participants. You will hold a series of meetings throughout the
development phase of the project. Your performance during meetings
will be observed by your assessor. See Task 4 “Observation” for

To complete the project, you will be preparing a ‘project review report’ that
captures the project scope, planning for the project and its
implementation, and the finalisation and review of the project. See the
“Resources required” section for a list of materials to be used for the
project and how to access these documents.
Complete all project tasks to develop the report in the ‘Project task &
instructions’ section below.
Your project review report must be your own work and not an exact
