Assessment Task 1 – Case Study Project Documentation
Case Study: PMP
Instructions to students: use the template below to develop the sections of the PMP relevant to Cost, Quality and Risk Management for the case study project.
Project Management Plan
Cost Management Plan
Cost management concepts, processes, and techniques to be applied
e.g. How will cost plans be developed and who should be involved? Will Earned Value Management be used? What is the tolerance for being over budget? Are there any rewards or penalties for being unde
over budget? Are there any funding or cash-flow constraints, such as annual budget cycles? How will human resources be charged to the project (if at all)? How much contingency will be calculated? How will indirect costs be captured? Are profit or amortised costs to be considered? What bank/cost/control accounts will be set up? How and when will committed
eceipted costs be captured?
·
Quality Management Plan
Quality management concepts, processes, and techniques to be applied
e.g. How will quality requirements be identified and who needs to be consulted? Whose definition of quality needs to be considered? Are there any penalties or rewards for unde
over-delivering on quality? What needs to be considered – e.g. end user preferences; product lifecycle and through-life/maintenance costs; obsolescence?
·
Risk Management Plan
Risk management concepts, processes, and techniques to be applied
e.g. Who needs to be involved in Risk Management? What policies, guidelines and standards are to be complied with? How will risks be identified? What risk categories will be considered (e.g. WHS and Environmental Risk)? What likelihood and impact classifications will be used? How will risk treatment strategies be funded? (e.g. work package contingency?) How will issues be managed
eported? How will open risks be handed over at the end of the project?
·
Risk context
What is relevant about the context of the project and should be taken into consideration when identifying, analysing and managing risk? What existing risk controls are in place?
·
Frequency and format
How frequently and in what format will you hold risk reviews to maintain cu
ency of risk plans and ensure that treatment strategies have been implemented effectively?
