Task 2
To prove your competency, you will utilise current projects or any previous
project at your workplace to demonstrate how you can apply your project skills
and knowledge in your position. Talk to your trainer about the appropriateness of
the project topic before you start. Ideally, use workplace projects to progress
both your studies and your projects simultaneously.
Alternatively, you can use the case study example in your text book as a suitable
substitute where a workplace example cannot be provided. The 1st phase of the
case study is on Chapter 13 on Page 361 Apply your knowledge

Office Fitout Project: Assume you are to fit out a floor of a new building as office
space for the organisation you work for or an organisation of your choice. The
documents office-fitout-guide and office-fitout-checklist in your student
resources folder provides a comprehensive guide to all the steps involved in
managing an office fitout.
Whichever project you choose, either from your own experience or using the
case study, you will need to complete the following steps.
Stage 1: Your first task is to:
a)

develop a project scope document using the Project Scope Form v1.0
Jan 2016

b)

Identify the stakeholders using

2016 form

the Stakeholder Analysis v1.0 Jan

c) Write a statement of responsibilities for the project manager position

(Approx. 150-200 words)
Stage 2: If you are using the Office Fitout Project, the instructions for stage 2 are
on Page 372 Apply Your Knowledge Question 1 of your textbook. For this
stage you need to:
a) Develop the Project plan including:
i)

Work breakdown structure and project schedule

similar document)

(Gantt chart or

ii)

A risk breakdown structure and contingency plan use form Risk

log and contingency plan_v1.0 Jan 2016

iii)

A communication plan including project monitoring and progress

reporting plan (these monitoring and reporting milestones should
also be reflected in the work breakdown structure)

b) Write around 150-200 words on strategies you could use to:

i)

Consult with project team members

ii)

Provide support to project team members

iii)

Involve project team members in the review process

During the project development stage there is need for a communication plan to
be developed. The communication plan is a document detailing the
communication process across the individuals and groups involved in the project.
The project should also be developed and split into functional groups or modules
who will each have deliverables which will add up to the culmination of the final
project. The different members of the project can receive support from working
in teams of development of the different phases of the project and the
organization can award the teams for completion of each milestone within the
project. Motivation during project development leads to its great success due to
highly encouraged and motivated team members. The project team members
can also be involved in the review process by them being consulted on their
opinions on the current status of the project as well as the changes they would
propose to its success.
Stage 3: If you are using the Office Fitout Project, the instructions for stage 3 are
on Page 377 Apply Your Knowledge Question 3 of your textbook. For this
stage you need to:

a) Describe and explain the reports you would prepare over the life of the
project
b) Prepare a document for completion and sign off of the project
The sample project management templates v1.1 Jan 2016 in your Student
resource folder will assist you in preparing the plans and reports required for
these tasks or you can design your own documents. This document also includes
a very useful Project Checklist at the end.
Evidence of the following is essential:

Developing a Project Plan

Examples of monitoring

Knowledge of relevant legislation.

EXAMPLE OF A GANTT CHART

Simply list the activities and tasks in column A, select an appropriate time
interval (days, weeks or months), allocate the dates to columns B onwards and
plot the expected time duration (total time from start to completion) under the
appropriate column by selecting shading from the Format/Cells/Patterns menus.
When you wish to provide a status report simply colour or shade in black those
items that are completed or estimate the percentage complete. This will give you
an immediate visual representation as to whether or not you are on schedule.
You may wish to add extra columns for assignment of responsibilities etc.
