This capstone unit provides students with experience in synthesising and applying the skills and knowledge acquired in previous units within the Master of Project Management. Under the general supervision of the lecturer, or academic mentor, each student will either undertake an industry project or complete a provided case study. The unit will enable students to develop a broad range of work-related skills that will enhance their graduate capabilities. Host organisations will be secured through the Unit Coordinator, or as a result of pre-approved networking and contacts developed by the student. Students will not be paid for the work they undertake. Students will be required to have a credit average to participate in an industry project unless agreed otherwise by the unit coordinator. The unit must be taken in the last semester of the course.
Unit was previously coded MIS5613
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students are expected to work on their project in a group. Students need to agree with the unit coordinator whether they complete the case study or industry project. For those doing an industry project student groups will select a project from a list provided by the unit coordinator in the first week of semester or may suggest their own project, which will be subject to coordinator agreement. In the first two weeks, 3 hour seminars or online recordings and face to face discussions will be given to allow completion of a project proposal. Lectures will establish the important ethical and professional aspects of practice, project management and quality principles. Following the completion of a client agreed and coordinator approved proposal students will conduct their project via independent study, with the student regularly reporting to, and consulting with, a project supervisor via email, face to face discussion and online project reporting. Off-campus students can join on campus groups. Online and paper-based materials (including recorded lectures) will be made available to establish the important aspects of professional practice, project management and quality principles. Regular online access is required.
