RECENT ASSIGNMENT

PPMP20008
Assessment 1: Charter
This is an individual assessment. You are to develop a project charter that is reflective of the selected tender and aligns to the requirements of the PMBoK and Prince2.
You will need to choose a tender, out of the four provided in the week one block on the Moodle site. You will use the same tender as the basis for the first four assessments.
Assessments one (1) and four (4) are individual assessments and assessments 2, 3 and 5 are group assessments. Flex students are able to work assessments 2, 3 and 5 either as an individual or groups which you can organise via the forum. For those students working in groups, you will need to agree on which tender to utilise, prior to the submission of assessment 1. This will ensure each member of the group is working on the project described within the same tender.
Tenders will be supplied for a range of project domains:-
• Engineering and construction domain,
• IT telecoms software domain,
• Financial and business services domain,
• Government / human services domain.
