For successful completion of the quiz, you are required to study the material provided (lecture slides, tutorials, and reading materials), engage in the unit’s activities, and in the discussion forums. By completing this assessment successfully, you will be able to identify key aspects of scope management as per best project management practices. This will then help in achieving ULO1. The quiz will be completed online through the APIC Online Learning System (OLS). Assessment Details Page | 2 Asia Pacific International College Pty Ltd.

The Portfolio is divided in to three parts: Design Specification Report Design Proposal Report Perform Test Plan Walkthrough In the first part, produce a report detailing the system requirements specification for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in a project (1000‐1200 words). This is a group task where the members in the team can examine the literature to source relevant information for the analysis and integration of business processes. The purpose of this assignment is to produce a proposal for a CPO that outlines the main system requirements for an Information System (IS) solution in a project. In the second part, generate a baseline report for a proposed IS system in a project. The report must contain a business continuity plan, suitable performance metrics and KPIs (1500‐1800 words). The results from the above RSR are analysed and the students can now combine their effort to create the design for the proposed IS system. The design must include suitable workflows and swim lanes for business processes, performance metrics, and functional and non‐functional decomposition of the system components such as availability, security, and infrastructure. Consideration for different options for the system architecture must be provided. For example, a cloud solution with service level agreement (SLA). In the final part, create and execute a test plan for your proposed design (1500‐1800 words). Students need to test the proposed design, carry out a performance test and a business continuity plan. The design may include a web‐based project management tool, a Portal design for project, Service catalogue and SLA for cloud solutions. Data for simulation of performance using suitable metrics and if necessary, data conversion. Part 1 (15% marks: submission 10% + presentation 5%) A brief literature review detailing the ICT requirements for a Project Management Information System and select an organisation to explore this further. Conduct a brief analysis of your chosen organisation’s business processes. Based on your analysis, propose the design and development of a new web-based project management tool or a Portal for managing projects in your chosen organisation. Provide justification for your chosen tool. Word limit: 1000-1200 words (excluding references and appendix) Page | 3 Asia Pacific International College Pty Ltd.

Marking Criteria and Rubric for Part 1 Submission: The assessment will be marked out of 100 and will be weighted 10% of the total unit mark Marking Criteria Not satisfactory (0-49%) of the criterion mark) Satisfactory (50-64%) of the criterion mark Good (65-74%) of the criterion mark Very Good (75-84%) of the criterion mark Excellent (85-100%) of the criterion mark The report is structured and provides a comprehensive analysis of the business processes for the project case (30%) The report shows limited structure and insufficient analysis of the main objectives. It shows insufficient details of the business processes for the project case. The report has addressed the main objectives. There is some supporting literature with limited interpretation of the project case and business processes. Referenced critical analysis of the business processes was largely missing. The report has addressed the main objectives. Evidence of literature supporting the interpretation of the business processes for the project case was present. Referenced critical analysis of the business process modelling was attempted not best practise The report has thoroughly addressed the main objectives. There is strong reference to supporting literature in the interpretation of the business processes for the project case and modelling of same. Indicates a sense of significant synthesis, of the business processes in the project case. Evidence of independent research, clearly enunciated definitions and a validation of ‘best practice’ modelling for business processes was demonstrated. The report has fully and creatively addressed all the main objectives. Referencing of supporting literature in the modelling of the business processes for the project case, used is rigorous and enlightening. Indicates independent strongly argued coherent evidenced modelling with strong recommendations for ‘best practice’ implementation.
