Your task
Individually, you are required to complete a comprehensive risk analysis and stakeholder management plan based on your work in the first and second assessments. Therefore, this assessment is a culmination piece.
Assessment Description
The purpose of this assessment is to foster students’ ability to evaluate and determine project viability, including the analysis required in the selection process. This will also form a part of students’ ability to create project portfolios that meet an organisation’s strategic goals and requirements and analyse project life cycles and the processes involved in project development. Students will also demonstrate the criteria required to evaluate the success of projects based on an organisation’s goals, strategy and standards and analyse the project life cycle and the process involved in project development.
