Assessment Details
A: Summative Assessment: Individual Reflective Report on Project (100%,
compulsory).
Based on the given project scenario, write a 5,000 words (including appendix and
references) project planning report addressing the following project tasks. Please note that
you may work in groups with your fellow students for discussions but the report has to be
completed individually.
Project Scenario: as the chief student representative in the Business Strategy class, you have
been given a total £5,000 budget from the Faculty of Business, Greenwich University to organise
an academic conference on the topic of ‘Towards sustainable business model innovation in 2020’.
All the students in your class are requested to work in groups to prepare the presentation slides
and to dress formally to present their ideas. Their audience include both the academics from the external universities and business experts from external industries who are invited by the Faculty
of Business. However, as the organiser, you and your project team must prepare a list of potential
audiences; once it is approved by the Faculty of Business, you need to prepare the invitation card
and send them out on behalf of the Faculty. A small scale of prize-giving ceremony is also needed
at the end of the competition.
In your project planning report, you are required to provide details of the following six tasks:
1. Prepare Project Scope Statement to state the project’s objectives, deliverables, technical
requirements and milestones.
2. Prepare Work Breakdown Structure (WBS, to include at least 10 activities) for the project.
3. Based on the work breakdown structure (WBS) above, create a Gantt Chart, a network
diagram and indicate the critical path by using MS Project software.
4. Explain who your stakeholders are and how would you manage them.
5. Discuss what your project risks might be and how would you manage them.
6. Explain how you would evaluate this project in terms of key project success factors.
