Assignment - Case study report
TOPIC: Critical analysis of a Project Management Plan (PMP)
Word length - 3000-4000 words approximately, exclusive of the executive summary, tables, figures, appendices, etc. and excluding all appendices.
Software requirement to complete assignment
Software requirements for this assignment will include word processing. If you need to produce a project schedule, a copy of MS Project may be used (and may be obtained from USQ at no cost - see instructions).
Your submission should have TWO PARTS.
1. The first part is the body of the assignment and is a 'critical analysis' of your chosen PMP. It will contain a description of the project and a critical analysis of the structure and content of the PMP, fully supported by reference to relevant project management theory. It is not a critical analysis of the project itself, nor how it was managed. The focus should be on the PMP. Read the study materials and a wide range of other reference materials (including the PMBOK Guide and the set text) to be clear on the purpose and content of a PMP as this topic is not widely covered in the literature. You will have to research relevant literature to complete this assignment, using the e-Books in the USQ Library.
2. The second part is Appendix 1 which should be the 'Project Management Plan' (sometimes described as a Project Plan) for your chosen project. The PMP might be a plan that you produce yourself for this assignment, or it might be a plan that you import from your workplace, or from an external source. You must state clearly the source of the plan. NOTE: no marks are allocated for the actual PMP as it may not be original work in many instances. Any other attachments would become Appendix 2, 3, etc.

For the purposes of these assignments, a 'project' is any significant endeavour undertaken by an organisation. It may be internal or external, but should be of sufficient size or complexity to warrant detailed analysis. For example, it could be:
- an organisational restructure or company merger
- development of a capital asset (building, structure, etc.)
- development of intellectual property (software, website)
- development of some capability (Defence projects, information system)
- organisation of a conference or large event, or
- marketing/development of a new product range.
