Subject Code & Title : FIT5057 Project Management
ASSIGNMENT 1 OBJECTIVES : This formative assignment assesses students’ capacity to research, critically read and review project management (PM) literature and apply critical thinking and writing techniques to respond to PM related questions. These capabilities help students acquire baseline employ ability skills that can be applied in PM work, especially in project planning.
FIT5057 Project Management Assignment 1 – Australia.
FIT5057 has 3 learning outcomes, which are fulfilled via 3 assignments, contributing to the development of 3 core PM capabilities. How this assignment’s learning experience help students develop these 3 capabilities is summarised as follows:
Unit Learning Outcome :
1.Analyse and evaluate the role of the modern project manager in the context of IT projects
2.Interpret and critique a variety of project management methodologies offered by various professional bodies including that provided by the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)
3.Describe and apply the available strategies, techniques and decision tools used by project managers to manage modern IT projects based on PMBOK methodology.
PM Capability :
1.Able to experience and learn firsthand, the research and critical thinking skills to construct mix methods of analysis, evaluation and conceptualization techniques in PM work
2. Able to research, differentiate between and apply PM knowledge areas in PM work
3.Able to select and apply a mix of appropriate analysis, evaluation and conceptualization techniques to structure and write an evidence based analytical PM report.
Introduction to Critical Thinking: The Bloom Taxonomy diagram (Armstrong,2010) given below illustrates Critical Thinking skills/techniques:
These techniques are mixed and bundled to provide an appropriate logical thinking process flow to problem solve a given task, such as this assignment. Read the Armstrong (2010) article to find out more.
Once you have actively engaged in critical thinking, the next step is to document the thoughts, which will require you to apply analytical writing methods and techniques to express these critical thoughts in an easy-to-read manner. When documenting critical thoughts, the sequence of thinking is not necessarily the same as the sequence or structure of writing. This is a common mistake students make, which can complicate their writing.
The Assignment Brief :
Context for the brief:
Agile approaches in software development are marketed to help software development project teams better meet user needs and accommodate user requirement and technology application changes, which cannot always be predicted. The reality is that agile software development can go pear shaped for a number of reasons. discovered interactions between team members can cause interruptions in projects that hinder employee productivity.

Relevant tasks and notes:
1.Read the Weische’s journal paper and summarize the key sections and underpinning highlights of the discussion.
2.There are 10 knowledge areas that makeup the taxonomy of PM knowledge. Research these ten knowledge areas; and summarize relevant and cited information that identify the mitigation strategies for controlling the different types of interruptions identified in the Wiesche’s paper and provide a discussion on what you have identified.
Also, research what other interruptions can occur, and which PM knowledge area/s can provide insights in detecting and controlling these additional interruptions.
Important note: Make sure all the 10 knowledge areas are applied in managing all the interruptions discussed in your paper.
Report Template :
The following shows how to set out the information you have gathered from your research in the form of a report.
1.Report Purpose & Discussion Scope (1/2 page)
2.Summary of Wiesche’s Paper (1 page)
3.Summary of Research Findings (Max 8 pages)
3.1. Taxonomy of PM Knowledge Areas
3.2. Weische’s Interruptions’ Mitigation Strategies
3.3. Other Interruptions (At least 7)
3.4. Other Interruptions’ Mitigation Strategies
4.Conclusion (1/2 – 1 page)
4.1. Conclude with a clear listing of mitigation recommendations and summary statements
4.2 Close with a problem resolution statement that is clearly linked to the report purpose you put forward in the opening of this report.
5.Reference List (at least 10 references for a Pass grade) of which 50% must be peer reviewed. No Wikipedia, blogs, marketing materials, etc.
Important note: Your cited reference choices must pass the

OVERALL NOTE: If you reflect on the given writing structure, you will see that it communicates how the different critical thinking techniques are bundled to express your critical thoughts in an organised manner. Some of these techniques indicate the use of graphic organizers (like tables). You will be using analytical writing methods that you would have learnt in your high school or undergraduate studies. How easy is it to read your report, is influenced by your writing skill.
