Assessment Task
Critically analyse the Assessment 1 question as outlined in the Case Study provided by the Learning
Facilitator by end of Module 1. Then, respond to the question with a 500-word discussion forum post
and a 250-word critique of another student’s initial post.
Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.
Context
Project Scope Management involves processes to ensure that the project incorporates all work
required to complete it successfully. Managing project scope involves defining and controlling what is
included in the project.
One of the keys to project success is effective scope management. Uncertainty about a stakeholder’s
needs or problems leads to a misleading definition (scope of work). Rework and extra effort may
impact project costs and timelines.
Documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance with quality requirements and standards
is the process of project quality management planning. This process helps to manage and validate
quality throughout the project.
For a project to be successful, the performing organisation must define and implement quality
policies, objectives, and responsibilities.
Critically analyse the Assessment 1 question outlined in the Case Study and conduct research related to
the topics outlined in the question.
1. Write a 500-word initial post analysing the question and key issues. Cite all sources used to
inform your post, including learning resources and academic or industry literature. The
reference list is not included in the word count.
2. Read another student’s post. Consider their post and compare it with the research you have
conducted. This approach will allow you to “critique” their view. You can do this by
highlighting your agreement and/or disagreement with their post. You must justify and
explain your critique. You will need to cite industry and academic literature. Your answer
must be 250 words. The reference list is not included in the word count.

Submission Instructions
