PPMP20009 Assessment Item 2 PPMP20009 Project Management Methodology Assessment Specification Written Assessment Objectives This assignment is designed to encourage the development of ability to apply project management concepts, methodologies, standards and frameworks to new situations, the ability to explain reasons why organisations adopt project methodology, the ability to critically analyse the impact of project management methodologies upon stakeholders, the ability to compare and contrast how different domains might apply project management methodologies and finally the ability to explain and justify the major elements of a project management methodology that might meet the needs of an organisation. These objectives will be measured by the ‘closeness of fit’ to meeting the requirements and the assessment criteria below. General Assessment Criteria Incomprehensible submissions. Assessments provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills to achieve the required standard. To do this, assessment responses need to be both clear and easy to understand. If not, the University cannot determine that students have demonstrated their knowledge and skills. Assessments will, therefore, be marked accordingly including the potential for 0 (zero) marks where relevant. Late penalty. Late submissions will attract penalties at 5% for each calendar day or part thereof that it is late of the total available mark for the individual assessment item. This means that, for an assessment worth 40 marks, the mark that you earn is reduced by 2 marks each calendar day that the assessment is late (including part-days and weekends). See Section 4.58 (hereinafter ‘s4.58’ to denote a Section) in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework). Deadline. The deadline for this assignment is 23:55:00 AEST on Week 12 Friday. All students are encouraged to start working on this assignment from Week 6 and work progressively on this assignment. Extensions will NOT be available to students who are unable to cope with ordinary study load. See s5.51 in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework). Check with the marking criteria. Before submitting your assignment you should check it against the assessment criteria included in this specification to ensure that you have satisfactorily addressed all the criteria that will be used to mark your assignment. Academic language. All submissions should be thoroughly proof-read for spelling, typographical or grammatical errors before being submitted. Do not rely on the ‘spell-check’ function in your word processing program. If, for example, ‘affect’ is substituted for ‘effect’, your program may not detect the error.

You are required to address a number of tasks given in the case study. You need to first read the following case. The case. You are working in a leading project management consulting firm. This week is one of your busiest week - four of your clients are pressing you for solutions to their long standing issues: Client A is a leading software development firm, specialised in website and mobile software development. They provide customised web solutions to local and established businesses, for example, they developed an online ordering and delivering system for a local fish and chips store, a website for a local realestate agency and a learning content management system for a high school. Most of their customers know exactly what functionalities they need for their website. Most of them would also provide a reference point for their website in mind. For example, the owner of that fish and chips store has instructed that they wanted a website similar to Pizzahut/Domino’s website that allows their customers to place order online, process payment online and track food delivery. Most of them understand their business model and would be able to give clear instructions about their requirement. For web development, Client A are dealing with customers in traditional industry where the business model is well established. They found that their website requirement are stable and not prone to changing. Their mobile development section, however, are dealing primarily with start-up companies. Most of them wanted to develop small-ish apps to test the market so that they can turn their ideas into cash flow as quickly as possible. Their ideas are immature and constantly changing and your team is snowed under their change requests. Adam is the Chief Technology Officer for your Client A, and he believes Agile Methodology is the only choice for IT projects. Whenever you have an IT project, the answer must be Agile Methodology. All other traditional methodologies are age-old and less effective. In a private meeting you had earlier with Adam, he said: “I am planning to roll out Agile Methodology to the entire firm. Agile Methodology is specifically designed for IT projects to replace traditional methodologies, e.g. waterfall, and therefore all IT projects must adopt Agile Methodology.” Client B operates in engineering and construction domain. Since 1998, they have been creating innovative designs and building quality homes for Australians. The founder started with the burning desire to build homes for Australians where they would truely love to live. “Our commitment to quality and excellence in home design has helped us become Australia’s market leader in new home design and construction”, their Chief Operations Officer, Barbara, said, “we offer the biggest range of new home designs in Australia. With hundred of floor plans, we build new homes for every budget and lifestyle.” Barbara has always wanted to incorporate PMBoK into construction projects in her company, but she never understood how PMBoK is a project management methodology. “I mean, there are 10 knowledge areas and 47 processes, each belongs to one of the 5 process groups. But it does not tell you which process I need to start with. These processes all seem interrelated, but nowhere in PMBoK does it indicate the chronological sequence of the processes I need to follow.”, Barbara asked. “No, it doesn’t. PMBoK does not specify any order for these processes. But it gives you the flexibility of arranging and tailoring them into a step-wise methodology that suits your projects”, you answered. “This is where I need your help with. Tailor PMBoK into a step-wise methodology that suits the projects in our company.” “Well, how about telling me more about a typical project in your company”. “That’s easy. This is what I do day in and day out: after our customer decides to build their dream home with us, the entire process is divided into two stages: pre-construction and construction. Pre- construction involves our customer selection of floor plans and details of their home, signing �3 contracts, obtaining approvals and permits from city council, and preparing the site to ensure everything it is ready for construction. The first step in the construction stage, known as base, involves excavation, site drainage installation and pouring the slab for the building. Then comes the frame stage where the builder erect the wall frame and roof trusses. Next is the exterior. The key activities that occur during this stage include the installation of all windows, of the fascia and gutter, the roof covering, the completion of brickwork, and external cladding and fitting of external doors. After the exterior is completed, we move on to the interior steps where we hang the plaster, complete architraves and skirting, install stairs in double storey homes, install baths, basins, troughs and sinks, fix internal doors, cabinets
