task about?
● MMI company profile and project task
You have been recently engaged by XYZ Pty Ltd trading as MMI as a
Project Manager (PM) to develop and implement a project to open a new
campus in Sydney (refer to MMI strategic objectives).
● Scope
● Time
● Quality
● Cost
● Human Resources
● Information system and communication
● Risk
● Project Integration
● Communicate with influence
● Facilitate continuous improvement in project work
● Develop project workplace policy and procedures for sustainability
● Lead and manage project team effectiveness
Having a clear vision of the project and its structure will help you plan and
implement it in simulated work conditions.
Your trainer and assessor will provide support and mentorship in the role of
Project Sponsor (PS).
You will work in a project team of max four students. You will both lead the
team and be a part of it to experience different project roles
in the simulated work environment, project manager being the main one.
Take turns playing the role of PM when the task requires project team
collaboration. The trainer and assessor will observe project work and provide
feedback on the Marking Sheet.
You will collaborate with the project team in a simulated work environment
to carry out the responsibility of your role as a PM relevant to time
management.
Although you will lead and collaborate with the project team, your
assessment's work must be individual, and it will be marked as such.
Please note that the performance evidence for this unit of competency
requires you to demonstrate the ability to manage project time on at least
two occasions. This assessment has been designed to meet that
requirement.
o Product-based ☒
o Direct observation of Role-Play ☒
o Case Study ☒
o Other (specify) ☐
Develop:
Collaborate with the project team to gather inputs and feedback to inform the development of the
WBS and the WBS dictionary.
Consult with the project sponsor (played by the trainer and assessor in the simulated work
environment) as needed.
Template 1 -WBS
Develop a deliverable oriented WBS for three levels work package starting with the key deliverables
(3-5) and then adding work packages (2-3/deliverable) and sub-work packages (2-3/deliverable).
Alternatively, you could structure the WBS by project phases with work packages and sub-packages
associated with each phase (phase-oriented).
Please note that you can use the template below or produce a WBS by listing, for example:
1. Team recruitment
1.1.3 Training
1.3.2 Contracts
2.1.3 Permits
3.2 Suppliers
The WBS Dictionary is the formal project document that provides detailed descriptions of key
information for all Elements in the Work Breakdown Structure and must comply with the 100% Rule.
The 100% Rule requires that the WBS captures 100% of the project scope. However, since the titles
of the WBS elements are only one or two words, it is impossible to confirm by just using the WBS that
this rule has been met. The WBS Dictionary is the project document that describes the work in each
element such that the project team is able to plan and execute 100% of the scope. (Source:
https://www.workbreakdownstructure.com/wbs-dictionary ).
We have created a simple template for the WBS dictionary below, complete it for each deliverable
identified in the WBS.

1. Develop a project schedule in the form of a Gantt Chart for the project.
● Deliverable milestones
It is recommended that you use excel or another suitable project scheduling tool (please consult with
the trainer and assessor).
The Gantt Chart will show estimated task duration and effort, sequence and dependencies of tasks to
achieve the project deliverables.
Submit the Gantt Chart in a separate file with your assessment. Call the file: Project Schedule.
Consult with the project sponsor (played by the trainer and assessor in the simulated work
environment) as needed.

Schedule a time with the trainer and assessor in week 3 of class to present:
● The WBS
● The WBS dictionary
to a group of relevant stakeholders (members of the project team and the project steering committee
played by a group of classmates) in a simulated work environment.
● Explain the project scheduling tools used when planning the project schedule
● Show sequencing and dependencies of tasks
● Seek an agreement on assigned responsibilities for project schedule management
● Consider feedback and input from stakeholders and evaluate how to incorporate them into the
project schedule
● Use communication techniques such as summarizing, questioning, paraphrasing and active
listening
● Answer questions from the stakeholders
● Reach an agreement regarding the project schedule baseline and the finalisation of the WBS, WBS
dictionary and project schedule.
The trainer and assessor will evaluate your performance during the presentation and provide feedback
on the marking sheet.
If you are absent from class, you are responsible for making alternative arrangements with the trainer
and assessor to present and discuss the WBS, the WBS dictionary, and the project schedule.
● Finalise the WBS, the WBS dictionary and the project schedule by implementing the feedback
received by the stakeholders. Document the agreed changes in the table provided below:
Agreed changes
WBS According to the stakeholders, the WBS covers the required tasks to
complete the project. There are no changes needed to be made.
WBS Dictionary The stakeholders found the WBS dictionary to be detailed and
informative. There are no changes needed to be made.
Schedule According to the stakeholders, the project schedule provides clear
indicators of time and there are no changes needed to be made.
Please note that the trainer and assessor will check that the agreed changes have been applied to
WBS, the WBS dictionary and the project schedule submitted with your assessment.
● What technique/s did you use when developing the WBS? Why?
● What techniques/methods did you use when sequencing tasks?
● How did you identify task dependencies?
● Why was it essential to reach an agreement regarding the project schedule baseline with the
stakeholders?
(50-100 words)
When constructing the work breakdown structure, we employed the decomposition approach to separate and
subdivide the project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components. Moreover, time management is
essential when identifying task dependencies, since poor time management might endanger the project's
success. For instance, a project cost and scope may change because of timetable disruption. To arrange the
tasks in this order, we employed the activity resource estimate technique. Additionally, it is essential to reach
an agreement regarding the schedule to ensure that the project will meet the stakeholder expectations.
The Project Sponsor asked you and your team to help with a project. The Marketing Team is
organising an event to present the new campus to education agents. The Project Sponsor would like
you to develop the time management plan for this project.
The plan will be used by the marketing team in charge of organising the event.
Please note the event will be planned and delivered by existing staff only: the marketing team, and
any other individual staff you believe should be included from the organisational chart.
