Wiki:
In Week 3 your
local tutor will assign students to a group.
A wiki will be set up within MySCU and access to each group wiki will be
limited to the designated two students, the local tutor and the Unit
Assessor. No other student can access
your group wiki.
The wiki must be used to progressively
compile the required parts of Assignment 2 – OurProject Report aligned to the
PMBoK knowledge areas. It is required
that students place material in the wiki on a set progressive basis. That is, students will be required to place
material for example a WBS in the week following the week that the topic is
taught. For example, WBS is presented in
Topic 4 / Week 4, and therefore students have until the end of Week 5 (Saturday
at midnight NSW time) to place material and a WBS into the wiki. If this is not in your group wiki by the
applicable Saturday at midnight NSW time, then a daily penalty reduction of 10%
of available marks for this particular marking criteria will commence from that
time.
It is noted that
there are two marking criteria for some of the PMBoK knowledge areas. It is suggested that each student take
carriage of one of these elements in the wiki to ensure both are completed and
placed in the wiki before the relevant time.
Just prior to
the due date for Assignment 2, one student from each group should download all
material from the wiki and compile these into the one single document to be
uploaded via the A2 turn-it-in portal for grading. There is no need for both students to upload
as this will result in 100% match in the originality score.
The maximum word
length for this assignment is 4,000 words excluding words used in any charts,
templates, forms or diagrams that the project team have used to apply the
knowledge areas. If the project team opt to use words to explain how the team
have applied a knowledge area you should limit them to one page per knowledge
area.
A soft copy of
many useful forms will be made available to you on MySCU that project teams can
modify and use for the assignment. However a project team can and should design
your own forms or use standard forms that are used by an organisation and adapt
these to suit your project. The soft copy is provided for the benefit of those
students who are not adept at designing forms using a computer. Hand drawn forms
can be used as well but they must be neatly drawn.
You are also
required to provide a list of references listing all the sources you have
referred to in preparing this assignment.
