groups are as follows:

3 REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT (5 MARKS)
3.1.1 Traditional Owner/s of the land on which CQ University campuses are located (1
mark).
QUESTION:State whether it is appropriate to have a single key stakeholder representing the
Traditional Owners of the land on which Central Queensland Campuses are located. Provide an
explanation for your response.
No, it is identified that it is not suitable to have a single stakeholders in order to present the
traditional land because it is not possible for a single individual to represent various campuses of
the university at a single time. In order to represent it is very much necessary to determine various
conditions that are mainly related with the campus. In addition to this, it is analyzed that the time
that is used for analyzing data on each of the university campus is quite less and thus it can be
ensured that thee data as well as information which are collected may be inaccurate. Thus it is
quite preferable to have one key stakeholder for each of the university campus.
3.1.2 Opening statement style (1 mark)
QUESTION: Which of the two opening statement styles‘Welcome to Country’ or ‘Acknowledgement
of Country’ is appropriate for the Project Executive to use and provide a brief explanation justifying
your answer.
After properly identifying, it is analyzed that Acknowledgement of Country is mainly suitable
for the project executive in spite of Welcome to country as Welcome to country is only appropriate
for the people who are from outside the country however project executive are indigenous people
who prefers their acknowledgement which reflects their existence in the specific country.
3.1.3 Requirements gathering for training package (1 mark)
QUESTION: Is the suggestion of using a previously developed cultural awareness training program
an appropriate method of requirements gathering? Briefly explain your answer.
The suggestion of utilizing previously developed cultural awareness training as an
appropriate method for requirement gathering is not considered appropriate because the training
programs content widely differ from each other. In order to use it, numerous changes are required
to be done within the program which is not possible.

3.1.4 Requirements traceability (.5 mark)
QUESTION: What document could be used to track or ‘trace’ requirements throughout the project
life cycle?
In order to track as well as trace requirements throughout the project life cycle, it is quite
necessary to use central resource log database within the project that is generally cloud based. It
is identified that the system will be quite easy to use. In order to use it, the site manager needs to
enter within the server once the entire resources are utilized for updating central resource log.
3.1.5 Requirements prioritization process (1 mark)
QUESTION: What is requirement prioritisation and why would it be important to communicate this
process to stakeholders?
Project prioritization is considered as one of the method with the help of which the
resources are properly assigned to stakeholders as per their work priority in the project. Thus, if
any types of competing requirements occur then a priority plan will be created for assigning
resources to the tasks or activities that have highest priority.
