1. Assessment Information
Welcome to your Student Assessment Guide for BSBPMG522 Undertake Project Work. This Guide
provides you with information on the assessment particularly what you have to do and to what level of
performance.
This assessment has the following two events:
To complete the Simulation, you will need to refer to the following resources:
Remember, you do not type your responses in this Student Assessment Guide, but use the Student
Assessment Workbook, which is a separate document. This document is simply a guide to explain what you
are required to do, and by doing so, this will assist you to perform at your best.
Please note that your responses for both assessment events can (where appropriate) use dot point format. See
below for an example of a dot point response and a full sentence response.
Assessment Event 1 – Knowledge Questions
There are four questions that will provide us with evidence of your general knowledge of tools,
documents, processes, and legislative context in relation to undertaking a project.
This assessment is completed in your own time and by a submission date provided by your Assessor. You
may use support material in the development of your responses, but you must indicate the source. In
addition, you must not ‘cut and paste’ content from your source, rather, use your words, unless it is a
direct quote.
Assessment Event 2 – Simulation: Perfect Coffee-Perfect Interns
You will complete a number of tasks that will provide us with evidence of your skills with planning,
implementing, monitoring and finalising a project. These tasks will be based on your role of Lead Project
Officer in a simulation that provides strategies for the professional development of interns in an
organisation called Perfect Coffee.
Business Case Provides background to the simulation (Task 1.1).
Project Charter Template You will enter the parameters of the project (Task 1.1, 1.2,
3.1, 3.5).
Stakeholder Register and Communications Plan Template You will table how and when you will communicate with
key stakeholders of the project (Task 1.2, 3.6).
WBS Template You will produce a work breakdown structure (WBS) that
is aligned to your Project Charter (Task 2.1, 2.2).
Project Plan Template You will enter strategies, tasks and outcomes achieved in
the implementation of the project (Task 2.1, 3.1).
Risk Management Template You will identify risks and table strategies to address
potential issues. It includes a numerical model for risk
ranking (Task 2.3, 3.5).
Budget Plan Template You will identify costs and lists actual expense in the
implementation (Task 2.4).
Project Completion Report Template You will summarise the results achieved at the end of the
project (Task 4.1).

 outcomes
 needs of the audience
 context.
Full sentence format When you are preparing for a Presentation, there are a number of tasks that must
be carried out. These are; listing the outcomes that you want to achieve, followed
by the identification of the needs of your audience. When you have completed
these two tasks, you then check on the room you will be conducting the
simulation in etc.

2. Assessment Event 1 – Knowledge Questions
The information contained in this assessment event lists the questions that you will need to develop a written
response. These questions are theoretical and provide evidence of your understanding of tools, documents,
processes, and legislative context in relation to undertaking a project work. Each question includes the
requirements which indicate what you have to do and the depth of your response to achieve a satisfactory
result.
1. Question 1
Using the table, list examples of project management tools and explain how they contribute to a project.
R 1. list five project management tools
R 2. for each tool, provide a brief summary on how they are used in project management
R 3. word count is approximately 25 words per tool.
2. Question 2
Using the table, outline types of documents used in defining the parameters of a project.
R 1. list four documents
R 2. provide an explanation on how it defines the project
R 3. word count is approximately 25 words per document.
3.
Q
uestion 3
Explain the processes for identifying and managing risk in a project.
Project management
tool
How it contributes to a project
PERT chart This is mainly used in terms to undertake the project evaluation and review
techniques. Thus, primary purpose is to plan and schedule the entire project
and to track implementation phase.
Calendar It is termed out as the time based project management tool that is one of the
easiest way to understand. However, this aids to better manage the work of
daily, weekly and monthly.
Timeline It is defined as the project management tool that aids to tract out the progress
of project.
Work breakdown
structure
This is defined as common project tool that assist to visualise the scope of
work by breaking the project within individual component that can be
effectively scheduled.
Status table This is defined as an effective tool that is used to track the progress of project.
It puts the major focus over status and complete progress.
Source of
information
Explanation
Time This is defined as project deadline and also termed out as the most significant
parameters. It aids to define the relationship between budget and deadline.
Cost It is mainly responsible for ensuring that the budget is not overspent and that
income is raised as per the plan.
Quantity There are some projects that has no quantify parameters and this mainly focused
on quantify results.
Quality The quality factors mainly applied to inputs to outputs to outcomes and to
possesses that aids to achieve the outputs.
