Assessment Task 5 Instructions

Carefully Read the following:

The Australian Home Show has just finished, and the Boutique Build stand was very successful. Staff at the stand received many compliments on the way that the new kitchen was built in the stand. Anna continued working on the stand efficiently following your talk with her and an hour’s mentoring.

Attendee numbers were much larger than expected due to a reduction in banks’ mortgage rates in the week prior to the show. The details of 550 customers were taken during the show. Many tradespeople attended the show, too, interested in what the current trends were. The details of 160 tradespeople were taken during the show

Boutique Build Australia’s project management policy and procedures require a project management evaluation report be sent to the CEO following the successful conclusion of every project, and that the Project Manager officially disbands the project team by email.
