Case Study
Instructions to Student
These case studies are hypothetical situations which will not require you to have
access to a workplace, although your past and present workplace experiences may
help with the responses you provide. You will be expected to encounter similar
situations to these in future as you work in a project team environment.
In the real world you are likely to encounter the situation where you enter a
project, taking over from another project manager. The documentation that is
handed over to you is not necessarily up to scratch, and there could be serious
issues with the project. This assessment captures that real life scenario.
The case studies are the first part of dealing with “multiple complex projects”
required in all the units of this subject. The other assessment covering this
requirement is the practical assessment. When you have completed the case
studies you will be able to commence the practical assessment which covers the
generic skills needed to function as an effective project team member. This
assessment on the other hand covers the application of the underpinning
knowledge and background theory.
You will have access to a virtual company called Awesome Landscapes
