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.
