Project management policy and procedure
Purpose
Native Bush Spice Australia adopts a standard approach to project management to
ensure the consistent use of project management procedures and templates. This policy and
procedure are designed to specify the requirements for managing projects to ensure that

14
ASSESSMENT TASK 2: PROJECT SETUP
project scope is articulated, stakeholders are involved, risks are managed and project benefits
are maximized. This policy and procedure apply to all projects.
Types of project
Generally, there are three types of project - small project, medium project and large
project. In each of the above cases the following staff are to be involved.
Large Project:
• Project Manager
• Project team member
• Senior Manager
• Project Steering Group
Project staff will vary depending on the type of project.
Project Phases
All projects should progress through the following project phases. Stage one
Stage one of the project management process is triggered when a staff member
identifies the need to solve a problem, improve a process or implement a new service. It
defines what the project will attempt to achieve based on appropriate business justification.
Stage two
The purpose of this phase is to determine how the project will be excecued. This
means developing a project management plan based on the project scope. The Australian
Native Bush Spice project management template should be use. Essentially the preparation of
a detailed model of the work required to achieve the project objectives is required and

15
ASSESSMENT TASK 2: PROJECT SETUP
confirmation of the budget and project arrangements suggested in the Business Case. Risks
are also defined and documented in a risk management plan A detailed schedule is also
prepared.
Stage three
The purpose of this phase is to implement the project. Regular reports of the progress
of the project should be provided to relevant staff, as well as regular meetings as outlined in
the project management plan.
Stage four
This is the final phase of the project and is the formal closure of the delivery
component of the project. It has two main outcomes: The handover of project outputs to the
operational areas responsible for ongoing support and maintenance (if applicable to the
project); and
The evaluation of the success of the project
The evaluation of the success of the project is important part of the project. The actual
project outcomes and cost must be compared with the planned outcomes and determine
whether what was achieved by the project was worth the amount invested. Project
recommendations to be included in project evaluation report should include a
recommendation to close project. All project issues arising must be documented in the project
issues register.
Project Communication
It is expected that the project team meet at least weekly depending on the size of the
project. A brief email summarizing outcome of the meeting must be sent to senior
management.

16
ASSESSMENT TASK 2: PROJECT SETUP
Weekly reports must also be sent to senior management regarding project progress.
Project record keeping
A project folder is to be established for each project. The overall folder should be the
name of the project e.g. Human Resources Information System Project and sub-folders
should be created including folders for the business case, project management plan, project
reports, minutes and any other relevant folders e.g. briefs to contractors. All documents
should include the version number, date and title of document.
