Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units.

This capstone unit provides students with experience in bringing together and applying the skills and knowledge acquired in previous units within the project management major.

Students must have passed MAN3716.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:

Students will engage in learning experiences through ECU Blackboard as well as additional ECU learning technologies.
In the unit, students work in teams to manage a project that is initially poorly defined. The lecturer performs the role of the project director and offers guidance about how the teams can clarify the scope, budget and expected time scales for the project. Students then plan the project, produce appropriate documentation and obtain approvals before work commences. In the directing phase, students use task completion and progress reports to update their baseline schedule as well as proposing responses to variations to the plan. In the final phase of the project, students prepare a set of final project reports which allow them to demonstrate their competency in project management and apply critical thinking to reflect on the performance of both themselves and the team. The unit is delivered using technology enhanced learning. Students will need to prepare for each workshop session by reading set texts, watching short videos and completing short exercises. Virtual video classrooms and webinars may occasionally be used and these are set out in the semester schedule.
