Instructions
The assessments in this workbook are divided into three categories: Knowledge Assessment
and Practical Assessment.
The Knowledge Assessment is a set of general and workplace questions testing your
knowledge and understanding of the general theory behind the unit.
You must answer all Knowledge Assessment Questions using your own words. However,
you may refer to your Learner Guide and other relevant resources and learning materials to
complete this assessment.
Some questions cover processes you would likely encounter in a workplace. Ideally, you
should be able to answer these questions based on the processes that are currently in place
in your workplace. However, if you do not currently have access to a workplace, then
answer the questions based on processes that should be implemented in a typical
workplace setting.
The Practical Assessment is made up of the Practical Assignment and Workplace
Assessment. This assessment tests your practical skills with respect to the requirements of
the unit of competency relevant in this workbook.
The Practical Assessment requires you to complete and submit workplace documents and
other documentation relevant to the unit of competency.
The evidence you submit must be your own work except where due reference is made and
where you are required to submit supplementary workplace documents such as policies
and procedures.
When completing the assessments included in this workbook:
1. Read the instructions provided in each task carefully before attempting to complete
the task. The instructions will guide you on how to answer the question or complete
the task satisfactorily.
2. Follow the steps provided in each task.

▪ If the question instructs you to describe, provide a description as your


response. If the question instructs you to list, provide a list as your response.

▪ Where there is a number of required responses, provide the required number


of responses. For example, if you are asked to list three responses, provide
three responses.
3. Ensure that all your submissions for this assessment indicate your first and last name
and that these submissions have been named according to the file naming
convention prescribed in each task.
Competency-Based Assessments
Definition of Competency
Assessment in this context can be defined as the fair, valid, reliable, and flexible gathering
and recording of evidence to support the judgement on whether competency has been
achieved. Skills and knowledge (developed in a structured learning situation, at work, or in
some other context) are assessed against national standards of competence required by
industry, rather than compared with the skills and knowledge of other candidates.

The features of a competency-based assessment system are:

▪ It is focused on what candidates can do and whether it meets the criteria specified
by the industry as competency standards.

▪ Assessment should mirror the environment the candidate will encounter in the
workplace.

▪ Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the candidate at the beginning of the
learning process.

▪ Assessment should be holistic. That is, it aims to assess as many elements and/or
units of competency as is feasible at one time.

▪ In competency assessment, a candidate receives one of only two outcomes –


‘competent’ or ‘not yet competent.’

▪ The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some purpose. In a competency


system, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is seen to be ineffectual unless it
assists a person in performing a task to the level required in the workplace.

▪ The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are clearly stated for the
trainer and candidate. Assessable outcomes are tied to the relevant industry
competency standards where these exist. Where such competencies do not exist,
the outcomes are based upon those identified in a training needs analysis.
Assessing Nationally-Recognised Training
Developing and conducting assessment, in an Australian Vocational Education and Training
(VET) context, is founded on the Principles of Assessment and the Rules of Evidence:
Principles of Assessment
1. Assessment must be valid

▪ Assessment must include the full range of skills and knowledge needed to
demonstrate competency.

▪ Assessment must include the combination of knowledge and skills with their
practical application.

▪ Assessment, where possible, must include judgements based on evidence


drawn from a number of occasions and across a number of contexts.
2. Assessment must be reliable

▪ Assessment must be reliable and must be regularly reviewed to ensure that


assessors are making decisions in a consistent manner.

▪ Assessors must be trained in national competency standards for assessors to


ensure reliability.
3. Assessment must be flexible

▪ Assessment, where possible, must cover both the on- and off-the-job
components of training within a course.

▪ Assessment must provide for the recognition of knowledge, skills, and


attitudes regardless of how they have been acquired.

▪ Assessment must be made accessible to candidates through a variety of


delivery modes, so they can proceed through modularised training packages
to gain competencies.

▪ Assessment must be mutually developed and agreed upon between assessor


and the assessed.

▪ Assessment must be able to be challenged. Appropriate mechanisms must be


made for reassessment as a result of challenge.
4. Assessment must be fair
▪ Assessment process must consider the individual needs of the candidate.

▪ Assessment must provide for reasonable adjustments, where appropriate, to


consider the individual candidate’s needs.
(Source: Standards for RTOs 2015, Clauses 1.8 – 1.12)

Rules of Evidence
When collecting evidence, certain rules apply to that evidence. All evidence must be valid,
sufficient, authentic, and current:
1. Valid
Evidence gathered should meet the requirements of the unit of competency. This
evidence should match, or at least reflect, the type of performance that is to be
assessed, whether it covers knowledge, skills, or attitudes.
2. Sufficient
This rule relates to the amount of evidence gathered. Enough evidence must be
gathered to satisfy the requirements that the candidate be competent in all aspects
of the unit of competency.
3. Authentic
When evidence is gathered, the assessor must be satisfied that evidence is the
candidate’s own work.
4. Current
This relates to the recency of the evidence and whether the evidence relates to
current abilities.
(Source: Training in Australia by M Tovey, D Lawlor)

Dimensions of Competency
The national concept of competency includes all aspects of work performance and not only
narrow task skills. The four dimensions of competency are:
1. Task skills
2. Task management skills
3. Contingency management skills
4. Job or role environment skills
Reasonable Adjustment
‘Reasonable adjustment’ in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment
or making changes to the training delivered to assist a candidate with a disability. A
reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or
installing a particular type of software on a computer for a person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that candidates with a disability
have:

▪ The same learning opportunities as candidates without a disability, and

▪ The same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a


disability.
Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning, and assessment
activities can include:

▪ Customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or


accredited course

▪ Modifying the presentation medium

▪ Learner support

▪ Use of assistive/adaptive technologies

▪ Making information accessible both before enrolment and during the course

▪ Monitoring the adjustments to ensure candidate needs continue to be met

Assistive/Adaptive Technologies
Assistive/Adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically
designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web
Consortium - W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software,
alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert systems, digital note-takers.
(Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability -
November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre)

IMPORTANT:
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting candidate assessment evidence must not
impact on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant unit(s) of
competency. For example, if the assessment were gathering evidence of the candidate’s
competency in writing, allowing the candidate to complete the assessment verbally would
not be a valid assessment method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable
adjustment must still meet the competency requirements.

The Unit of Competency


The units of competency specify the standards of performance required in the workplace.
This assessment addresses the following unit of competency:
BSBPMG540 - Manage project integration (Release 1)
1. Establish project
2. Undertake project planning and design processes
3. Monitor project
4. Review project

A complete copy of the above unit of competency can be downloaded from the TGA
website:
https://training.gov.au/Training/Details/BSBPMG540

The Context of Assessment


To complete the assessments in this workbook, students need to have access to their
learning materials and the Internet. The Knowledge Assessment may be completed wholly
at the candidate’s home or chosen place of study. The Practical Assessment must be
completed in a workplace or a simulated environment.
Assessment Methods
This workbook uses the following assessment method/s:
1. Knowledge Assessment
A set of general and workplace questions testing the candidate’s general knowledge
and understanding of the general theory behind the unit.
2. Practical Assignment
A series of written practical tests assessing the candidate’s practical knowledge and
understanding of the unit of competency.
3. Workplace Assessment
A set of tasks or activities completed according to set instructions and guidelines to
meet the requirements of the relevant unit. These tasks and activities require you to
have access to a workplace or a similar environment.

2. What do the following key stakeholders do in the project governance models?

Stakeholder What do they do?

Examining the project cost projections is the


portfolio board's primary responsibility. It gives
i. Portfolio board
the budget approval and releases the cash so the
project can use them.

It serves as the project's decision-making body and is also


referred to as the project authority. The project
manager, sponsor, and senior stakeholder roles (e.g.,
senior user, senior supplier) make up the project
board. The following are a few of the project board's
duties:
ii. Project board o Authorization of necessary plans, procedures, and
records (such as phase reviews, business cases, and
project charters)
o Approval of the project budget
o Risk management, or recognizing and reducing hazards
o Change management, or supervising and determining
the procedure for change requests

In essence, this position oversees and controls


the project's everyday operations. It entails
carrying out the project's planning, execution,
monitoring, and closing phases, all while making

having decision-making authority, the project
manager ought to report to and confer with the
project board.
3. What are six types of information that are defined within project governance models?

Six types of information

i. Risks and Risk Control –are found by use of the risk management procedure.

ii. Audit Cycles- It establishes the time frame for project reviews in order to monitor and
regulate project requirements and quality.

iii. Key Deliverables, Milestones and Tasks –aids in defining the goals and project end, as well
as the means of achieving them.

iv. Reporting Lines –describe the communication channel that will be utilized to share
information and make decisions for the project.

participants
5. Listed below are two different types of project initiation documentation. In your own
words, describe each document.

Types of project Description


initiation
documentation

i. Project charter A crucial document for a project is the project charter.


During the pre-planning phase, it describes the general
details of the project, including its goals, scope, and
pertinent participants. It is released by the project
sponsor and serves as official approval for a new
project.
A project charter's main goals are to:
o Explain why the project is being undertaken;
o Give an overview of the project;
o Specify the project's overall scope and objectives;
o and
o Assign the project manager's responsibilities and the
extent of their authority.

ii. Project The plans and requirements for every project function are
management plan compiled and integrated into the project management
plan. It outlines the project's execution, oversight, and
management procedures. In order to execute the
project in an orderly and effective manner, the project
management plan is an essential prerequisite for
considering the planning stage finished. The project
couldn't accomplish its goals and results without it.
Thus, in order to move on to the project
implementation phase, a completed and authorized
project management plan is required.

iii. Project scope This outlines the project's contents, both included and
statement excluded. You should take your stakeholders' opinions
on what is included and excluded in the project into
account when setting the scope. Some areas to think
about are the type of work that has to be done, the
particular region that needs to be covered or
impacted, and particular issues that need to be
resolved.

resources, budgets, and scope and quality
requirements.

iii. Implementation Through the completion of project tasks and the creation
of project deliverables, it implements the project plan.

Project life cycle stages, Roles


phases, and
structures

iv. Monitoring This is typically completed by implementing the project


and involves project evaluation and control.

v. Closing It entails delivering completed deliverables, letting go of


employees, finishing off reviews, and archiving tasks.

9. List two impact analysis methodologies used to monitor and review project outcomes.
Briefly describe each methodology.

Methodologies Description

i. Cost-benefit analysis Cost-benefit analysis compares the costs of project


resources, for example, with the benefits received
from their execution, such as savings, in order to
assess the return on investment of a project.

ii. Return on determines the investment's percentage return, which


Investment (ROI) is a useful metric for assessing whether the project
Analysis – was a wise or foolish investment. Usually set as a
target ROI, this figure is subsequently contrasted with
the real ROI during the project monitoring and review
cycle.
10. List four key steps involved in assessing and actioning a received change request from a
project administrator.

Key Steps

i. Review the Change Request Form - Once you have received a change request form, make
sure to record key details of the change request. Examine the modification request's
specifics and speak with the person who submitted it if you need any explanations.

ii. Identify Impacts of Change Request - A change impact analysis examines the implications
of the change for the remainder of the project as well as the extra labour and time required
to implement the change.

iii. Decide on Course of Action - The results from the analysis are reviewed and
recommendations are given based on them as well as for the benefit of the project
objectives and outcomes. After that, the management will choose whether to approve,
amend, or deny the change request depending on the suggested path of action.

iv. Implement Course of Action - When approved, the change request can now be
incorporated into the project. The timetable and budget for the project management plan
should be adjusted appropriately. Notifying your stakeholders and the rest of the project
about changes is important. Additionally, ensure that the modifications are accurately
documented for future reference.
11. List four key components of a change request.

Key components

i. Specify the current and updated project plan- Later on in the analysis, this will be useful.
Additionally, you don't want to apply the modification to an antiquated strategy.

ii. Identify the activities/tasks needed to implement the change to the project-To be able to
apply the change, make sure that every activity that makes up the change is included and
accounted for.

iii. Assign the tasks with estimated budgets, resource requirements, and times for completion.
The activities will also require these specifics in order to be carried out.

iv. Add the activities for the proposed change into the current project plan- Modify the time,
resources, and expenses of the next tasks in the project plan to reflect the activities
associated with the modification.

2.3.1.2 Monitor the Project Scope

While being observed by your assessor, monitor the impact of scope changes against the
following in separate instances:

▪ the established time

▪ cost, and

▪ quality constraints

How you will monitor the impact of scope changes for this assessment will depend on the
project you are undertaking and your organisation’s procedures for controlling and
monitoring changes in these areas.
This may involve performing a variance analysis of actual project performance and progress
against the established time, cost, and quality constraints of the project, producing a
work performance information report, following change request procedures, or
updating the project management plan to reflect the changes to project scope, etc.
The procedures you implement must be consistent with the project scope management
plan, e.g. if you are processing change request for the project, ensure to follow the steps
documented in the scope management plan for change request procedures.
You will be assessed on:

▪ Practical knowledge of project scope and procedures for controlling and monitoring the
project scope changes.

▪ Practical knowledge of the project’s procedures for change control.

▪ Practical skills relevant to monitoring the project scope.

Secure documentation from each instance you monitor the project scope. The
documentation you submit for this assessment may include documents/forms you
completed from variance analyses, change request documents, updated project
management plan you completed, etc.
Before starting this task, review the Workplace Assessment Task 2.3.1.2 – Observation
Form provided along with this workbook. This form lists all the practical skills you need
to demonstrate while completing this task.

To make sure the project stays on course, achieves its goals, and doesn't stray from the
predetermined scope, it is imperative to monitor the project scope. The following steps can help
you keep an eye on the project's scope:
1. Create a Scope Management Plan:
At the start of the project, create a thorough scope management plan. This plan should specify
how scope will be established, verified, and tracked during the course of the project.
2. Define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
Determine and set up KPIs that are pertinent to the scope of the project. Metrics like scope
modifications, departures from the baseline, and deadline adherence are a few examples of these.
3. Make Use of a Change Control System:
To record, examine, and approve any modifications to the project scope, put in place a formal
change control system. A transparent procedure for submitting, reviewing, and accepting requests
for scope changes should be part of this system.
4. Review Project Scope Frequently:
Review the project scope frequently with important stakeholders. This guarantees that any
modifications or departures from the initial scope are promptly detected so that remedial
measures can be implemented.
5. Track Project Progress:
Evaluate the project's advancement in relation to the project's defined plan. To find any scope-
related problems, periodically compare the actual progress with the anticipated deliverables and
milestones.
6. Communicate Scope modifications:

Assessment Workbook Version 1.0 Produced 30 November 2020

Notify all pertinent stakeholders of any authorized modifications to the project's scope. End users,
sponsors, and team members are all included in this. All parties concerned may retain alignment
and understanding when there is clear communication.
7. Record Scope Variances:
Record and examine any differences that exist between the project's actual scope and its intended
scope. Determine the causes of these variations and evaluate the effects they have on the project's
budget, schedule, and success overall.
8. Conduct Periodic Audits:
Conduct audits of the project charter, requirements, and scope statement on a regular basis. This
makes it easier to guarantee that all project documentation is current and accurate.
9. Make Use of Project Management Software:
Make use of project management software to track and monitor the project scope in real time.
Tasks, goals, and modifications can all be automatically tracked with these tools.
10. Host Scope Review Meetings:
Hold frequent meetings with the project team and stakeholders to discuss the scope of the review.
Make use of these meetings to go over any possible scope adjustments, problems, and to make
sure everyone is on the same page regarding the project's goals.
11. Evaluate Risks to Scope:
To identify any risks that could affect the project scope, periodically evaluate and update the
project risk register. To avoid scope creep, create techniques for mitigating these risks.
12. Deal with Scope Creep Quickly:
As soon as scope creep is discovered, deal with it. Before making any modifications, start the
change control procedure to assess how the change will affect the project and secure the required
approvals.
13. Offer continual Training:
Provide stakeholders and the project team with continual training on scope management
procedures. This guarantees that all parties involved in controlling and overseeing the project scope
are aware of their respective roles and responsibilities.
14. Record Lessons learnt:
Record the lessons you've learnt during the project, particularly those that have to do with scope
management. Utilize this knowledge to improve processes in further projects.

that establishes the project's duration. Concentrate your monitoring efforts on the critical route
jobs since they have a direct influence on the project timeline when they are delayed.
4. Use Project Management Software:
To enable real-time project time tracking, use project management software. These programs
frequently have functions for measuring progress, assigning tasks, and setting up automated alerts.

5.Frequent Progress Meetings:


Hold regular meetings with the project team to go over the status of tasks, talk about obstacles,
and make sure everyone is aware of their due dates. Make use of these meetings to proactively
handle any possible delays.
• Earned value management (EVM) is a strategy used in project management to report on schedule
status. EVM makes use of values like:
• Earned Value (EV): The budget value of the tasks that have already been finished. Also referred to
as Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP). It is computed by multiplying the project's total
budget (T) by the proportion of real work completed (PWC).
EV equals T*PWC.

Planned value (PV), sometimes referred to as the Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS), is the
predicted budget value of the tasks that are expected to be finished in the same time as the BCWP.
It can be calculated by multiplying the total budget (T) and the percentage of work scheduled
(PWS), which is the percentage of work that should be completed at the same time as PWC.
PV=T*PWS

• Actual Cost: This is the price paid for the labour expended on a task at a specific moment in time.
It comprises all project-related direct costs as well as indirect costs (expenses incurred in assisting
with project activities). The Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) is another name for it.
In the same manner as the schedule status, you will calculate the following:
• Cost Variance: Determines the precise budget deficit or excess for a project.

The project's percentage of overspending and underspending is determined by the Cost


Performance Index.

If the cost variance assessment yields a positive number, the project is under budget (surplus). On
the other hand, a negative outcome indicates that the project has exceeded its budget (deficit).
When the result is zero, the project's expenses are within budget.
• To obtain the index of cost performance:

In terms of the cost performance index, a project is said to have blown its budget for the completed
work if the result is larger than 100%, or greater than one in decimal notation. In the meantime, the
project has an underrun of costs with the work accomplished (under budgeted) if the outcome is
less than 100% (or one in decimal form). The project cost is as planned if the CPI is 100% or 1.0. As
the project in the case is overbudget due to the CPI being more than 100%, an excess of $5,000 as
indicated by the CV is reasonable.

updated against project deliverables. The defined intervals (e.g. weekly) may be
recorded in your project management plan, communication plan, audit schedule, record
management plan, or other.
Use your organisation's template for documenting the project document review outcomes,
or you may use the Generic Project Records Review Template provided along with this
workbook.
You will be assessed on:

▪ Practical knowledge of project records, review intervals and project deliverables.

▪ Practical skills relevant to confirming project records are updated against project
deliverables at required intervals
Before starting this task, review the Workplace Assessment Task 2.5 – Assessor's Checklist
provided along with this workbook. This form lists all the requirements your submission
must meet for a satisfactory performance.
Your assessor will also:

▪ Organise workplace resources required for you to complete this assessment.

▪ Discuss with you the requirements listed in the Assessor's Checklist prior to the

After completing this task, submit the following to your assessor:

▪ Copies of the project records, one for each review interval.

▪ Copy of documentation showing the defined review intervals, e.g. excerpt from the
project management plan where the schedule of review is indicated.

The project's life cycle generates a significant amount of information on the project. As the project
moves forward, it will be necessary to organize and record these many facts so that they may be
conveniently accessed. Project records come into play here.
Project records are documents or spreadsheets that include specific project information. These
documents are needed long after the project is over, and they are generated from the very
beginning. Project records offer a way to record the many tasks completed and the choices made
during the project. As a result, you need to make sure that project records reflect the deliverables
and results of the project.

a. Identify Issues with Relevant Stakeholders and Project Authorities

Conduct a project team meeting to review the project status against the project plans and
schedules and identify any issues with relevant stakeholders and project authorities.
Issues may relate problems that prevent meeting the project deliverables and difficulties
or conflict experienced by project stakeholders.
Use your organisation's template for documenting minutes to record the minutes of this
meeting, or you may use the Generic Meeting Minutes Template provided along with
this workbook.
You will be assessed on:

▪ Practical knowledge of project review processes.

▪ Practical skills relevant to identifying issues with relevant stakeholders and project
authorities.
Before starting this task, review the Workplace Assessment Task 2.7 – Observation Form
provided along with this workbook. This form lists all the practical skills you need to
demonstrate while completing this task.
Your assessor will also:

▪ Organise workplace resources required for you to complete this assessment.

▪ Discuss with you the requirements listed in the Observation Form prior to the
assessment.

▪ Address your queries and concerns regarding this task.

After completing this task, submit a copy of the meeting minutes to your assessor.

To help you uncover more project challenges, it is imperative that you consult with important
stakeholders and project authority, such as the project board. Expectations and viewpoints among
stakeholders and project authorities are typically diverse from one another; the project team may
also have distinct expectations and perspectives. These variations may aid in locating problems
within the project.

If stakeholders and project authorities find that the project is underbudgeted when comparing the
cost variance and the cost performance index to the cost baseline, there may be a problem. This
allows the project team, stakeholders, and project authorities to identify the root cause of a
problem, like increased equipment prices, and quickly make the necessary adjustments (like
switching to less expensive options).

Part III. Project Closure
3.1 Identify and Allocate Project Finalisation Activities

Develop a project finalisation plan that outlines project finalisation activities,


responsibilities, and due dates.
Use your organisation's template for documenting the project management plan, or you
may use the Generic Project Finalisation Plan Template provided along with this
workbook.
You will be assessed on:

▪ Practical knowledge of project finalisation activities.

▪ Practical skills relevant to identifying and allocating project finalisation activities.

Before starting this task, review the Workplace Assessment Task 3.1 – Assessor's Checklist
provided along with this workbook. This form lists all the requirements your submission
must meet for a satisfactory performance.
Your assessor will also:

▪ Organise workplace resources required for you to complete this assessment.

▪ Discuss with you the requirements listed in the Assessor's Checklist prior to the
assessment.

▪ Address your queries and concerns regarding this task.

After completing this task, submit a copy of the completed project finalisation plan to your
assessor.

The term "project finalization" refers to the official closing of the project. Closing the project,
however, does not mean that it ends after the deliverables are completed. The actions that make
up project finalization make sure the project has accomplished its goals and that the expectations
of the stakeholders have been satisfied in accordance with project baselines (e.g. scope, schedule,
budget). It also gives the chance to reflect on the project in the past and draw conclusions from it.
In order for these tasks to be completed, it is your responsibility as the project manager to ensure
that they are appropriately assigned to the project.
Activities related to project completion include the following:

Assessment Workbook Version 1.0 Produced 30 November 2020


Page 98 © Compliant Learning Resources
Transfer of Project Results
Upon completion or achievement, the project deliverable—a.k.a. outcome, such as a product,
service, or result—should be formally turned over to your stakeholders or clients. After
supplemental documents are completed and approved, the client is notified that the project
deliverable is complete.
Contract Termination
As the contract comes to an end, you should make sure that all of its requirements have been
fulfilled. But keep in mind that this only applies to undertakings that are contracted for, like
building projects. Since all of the terms of the contract will be fulfilled by the project, contract
closure aids in project finalization.
Evaluation of the project after completion
Using what are known as lessons-learned meetings, an evaluation should be carried out to
enumerate and record the most important lessons that may be gained from the project. The
project team investigates the methods and procedures that contributed to the project's success as
well as the problems and other catalysts that had a detrimental impact.

While being observed by the assessor, meet with project stakeholders to review, and
confirm that the project deliverables and associated documentation are prepared and
ready for handover to the client.
Finalise the project by completing the following documents together with project client,
project sponsor or project authority:

▪ Formal Acceptance and Closure

▪ Formal Acceptance of Product or Phase

▪ Project Closure Checklist

Use your organisation's templates for documenting project closure and acceptance
activities, or you may use the following templates provided along with this workbook:

▪ Formal Acceptance and Closure Template

▪ Formal Acceptance of Product or Phase Template

▪ Project Closure Checklist

You will be assessed on:

▪ Practical knowledge of project closure activities and documentation.

▪ Practical skills relevant to confirming project products and associated documentation are
prepared for handover to the client promptly.

assessment.

▪ Address your queries and concerns regarding this task.

After completing this task, submit the following to your assessor:

▪ Copy of the completed Formal Acceptance and Closure Template.

▪ Copy of the Formal Acceptance of Product or Phase Template.

▪ Copy of the Project Closure Checklist.

When project deliverables or products are made, the project enters its closure phase.
However, even if the project is complete, the finished product is not yet ready to be
turned over. By doing a final product review, you must verify that the project products are
ready for handover. If there are any related documents, these should also be ready to be
submitted to the client. Remember that in order to satisfy the needs and expectations of
the client, these must be completed on time.
Operational procedures are used in the control quality process to confirm that project
deliverables meet client requirements. Quality control is evaluated in relation to quality
metrics that project teams and clients jointly develop during the planning phase. Among
the advantages of quality control are:
o Validation of the finished product (or other deliverables);
o adherence to stakeholder expectations;
o identification of the cause of low output quality;
o and feedback, such as suggestions for quality improvement

Data Collection
• Checklists: These aid in the organized management of the control quality tasks.
• Check Sheets: These are used to compile information that will make it easier to gather data about
a possible quality problem.
• Statistical Sampling: This technique measures and verifies product quality by randomly selecting a
portion of a population of interest for quality testing (e.g., selecting 5 goods from a total of 30
manufactured).
• Surveys and questionnaires: these tools can be used to compile information on consumer
satisfaction with the offered good or service as well as feedback.
Performance reviews are employed to monitor, compare, and analyze quality metrics pertaining to
actual outcomes in relation to the quality management plan.
• Root Cause Analysis: this method aids in discovering the causes of quality problems.

3.3 Finalise Financial, Legal and Contractual Obligations

Finalise all financial, contractual, and legal obligations for the project.
Submit evidence that demonstrates that you have finalised all financial, legal, and
contractual obligations you were responsible for as agreed with the project client,
sponsor, and authority.
You will be assessed on:

▪ Practical knowledge of financial, legal, and contractual obligations relevant to the


project.

▪ Practical skills relevant to finalising financial, legal, and contractual obligations.

Before starting this task, review the Workplace Assessment Task 3.3 – Assessor's Checklist
provided along with this workbook. This form lists all the requirements your submission
must meet for a satisfactory performance.
Your assessor will also:

▪ Organise workplace resources required for you to complete this assessment.

▪ Discuss with you the requirements listed in the Assessor's Checklist prior to the
assessment.

▪ Address your queries and concerns regarding this task.

After completing this task, submit the following to your assessor:

▪ Copies of finalised financial documents. Those may include finalised records of project
expenditures, finalised budget, final payments to project suppliers and other final
financial transactions, final financial report, etc.

▪ Copies of finalised legal documents. This may include the product or phase acceptance
by the client, whereby legally handing over the rights of the product from the supplier
(you) to the client, sponsor, and authority.

▪ Copies of finalised contractual documents. This may include a written confirmation by


the client, sponsor, and authority that all contractual deliverables have been delivered
and that the contract is finalised.

As the project draws to an end, it is imperative that you conclude all non-project related commitments. This
implies that you must fulfill all of your contractual, legal, and financial duties prior to project sign-off.

Monetary Requirements

Financial responsibilities include the following:

Assessment Workbook Version 1.0 Produced 30 November 2020


© Compliant Learning Resources Page 105
o paying for hired equipment from a third party,
o paying for contracted workers according to their contracts,
o paying supplier invoices and other transactions,
o paying taxes, settling reimbursements and deposits,
o and paying for other unspecified but incurred transactions.
o All of these payments and other financial transactions must be settled before the project closes.

Legal Responsibilities
Projects ought to constantly follow all applicable laws, both locally and nationally. As a result, project
procedures ought to conform to the legal requirements and guidelines issued by the regulatory
body. Important legal requirements to take into account are:
Health, Safety, and Security: The project must be able to satisfy the needs of each and every
participant in terms of health, safety, and security. This entails providing for the physical, emotional,
and psychological well-being of employees and personnel.
Quality and Performance: Government-established industry standards should be met by projects.
Environmental Impact: In order to ensure that the processes engaged in the project support the
sustainability and preservation of the environment, projects must also adhere to environmental
rules.
Intellectual property: Projects must abide by the rules governing appropriate use of intellectual
property.
Regulatory Approvals – Project should adhere to regulatory requirements, such as permits, licenses,
certifications and other authorisations.

Contractual Liabilities

You should complete all of your contractual duties in addition to your legal obligations. This implies
that all project contracts, particularly those pertaining to suppliers, need to be examined to ensure
that all requirements have been satisfied or fulfilled. As a result, you need to check that all of the
provisions of each contract are being followed for your project. Procurement audits provide an
opportunity to assess this.
In a procurement audit, a contract's terms, procedures, and completeness are examined for
accuracy, efficacy, and completeness. This aids in the assessment and documentation of the various
agreements and contracts established throughout the project. When a contract is being closed,
procurement audits are typically conducted to ensure that the project management and contract
requirements are being followed throughout the procurement process plan for consistency.
Project closure brings an opportunity to review the financial, legal and contractual aspects of the
project before the project is considered closed or finished. Make sure to check and finalise project
obligations to these aspects to make sure you have complied and satisfied their requirements.

3.3 Seek Feedback from Relevant Stakeholder and Project Authorities

Conduct a project review meeting to seek feedback from relevant stakeholder and project
authorities on project implementation, management, and integration, while being
observed by the assessor.
Use your organisation’s template for documenting the minutes of this meeting, or you may
use the Generic Meeting Minutes Template provided along with this workbook.
You will be assessed on:

▪ Practical knowledge of project implementation, management, and integration.

▪ Practical skills relevant to seeking feedback from relevant stakeholder and project
authorities on project implementation, management, and integration.
Before starting this task, review the Workplace Assessment Task 3.4 – Observation Form
provided along with this workbook. This form lists all the practical skills you need to
demonstrate while completing this task.
Your assessor will also:

▪ Organise workplace resources required for you to complete this assessment.

▪ Discuss with you the requirements listed in the Observation Form prior to the
assessment.

▪ Address your queries and concerns regarding this task.

After completing this task, submit a copy of the meeting minutes to your assessor.

When the project is nearing its conclusion, it is imperative that you ask your stakeholders and
project authorities for their opinions on the project, with a focus on implementation, management,
and integration. The way you and your project management team view the project is different from
that of stakeholders and project authorities.
This allows project authorities and stakeholders to share important details and insights about
particular project areas that you may have missed or failed to notice. Analyzing the data collected
can help to enhance project management procedures and activities. As a result, you need to invest
effort in creating and implementing strategies to get input from project authorities and
stakeholders.

Here are some pointers to think about when asking project authorities and stakeholders for their
opinions.
• Employ appropriate communication techniques. You should think about the most effective
approach to get their input. The incorrect kind of feedback technique will just make it more difficult
for you to obtain the information you require. Among the techniques for obtaining feedback are:

Assessment Workbook Version 1.0 Produced 30 November 2020


© Compliant Learning Resources Page 107
• Meetings: The most effective technique to obtain input is through meetings. It promotes open
communication because both parties are able to express their opinions about the completed
project.
• Surveys: You can obtain quantitative and qualitative input by giving survey forms (in hard or soft
copies). They can be used in addition to other feedback techniques. Ensure that the survey can be
easily understood and that all of the questions and statements are easily answered.
• Interviews – In addition to meetings, you can have one-on-one conversations with your
stakeholders to provide them a private forum to contribute their input, as not everyone feels
comfortable speaking up in front of a group.
In order to ask stakeholders and project authorities for constructive feedback, several actions are
required. To ensure that you receive helpful criticism and information, keep in mind that each
person has different preferences. You can ask for input on the following specific project aspects:
o project implementation,
o project management,
o and project integration.

Lesson Learned Number: XYZ

Lesson Learned Proposed Name: ABC

Project Team Role: In charge of overseeing the project's overall management and making sure that
its objectives are met within its allocated scope, time, and financial restrictions.

Specific Practice, Tool or Technique Being Used:


Trello: a visual collaboration tool that arranges tasks and projects using cards, lists, and boards.
Agile project management is a common application for it.

What was the action undertaken?


After presenting the finished product to stakeholders, the team gathers their input. After
reviewing the sprint, the team decides what worked well, what needs to be improved,
and what needs to be done differently for the following sprint. Together, these activities
foster teamwork, flexibility, and an emphasis on producing incremental value, all of
which are critical to the success of the Agile project. The Scrum framework offers an
organized method for carrying out these tasks over the course of the project lifecycle
with its clearly defined roles, events, and artifacts.

What is the specific Lesson Learned?


Considerate Sprint Planning Reduces Scope Creep. As additional needs were presented
by stakeholders throughout the project's early sprints, scope creep had a tendency to
happen. Meeting sprint goals and keeping a focused sprint backlog became difficult as a
result.
