FIT5057 Assignment 2: Risk, Quality, and Stakeholder/Communication Management

Project Management

Overview

This assignment is worth 25% of your final mark. It is divided into two parts:

● Part  1: Team demonstration of the risk register development process.  (During  your Applied class in Week 8)

● Part 2: Individual  submission of quality and stakeholder/communication management plans. (due on Week 9, Friday 9th May 2025 11:55pm)

1. Introduction

Assignment 2 focuses on three critical aspects of project management:  Risk  Management, Quality Management, and Stakeholder and Communication Management. Through completing this assignment, students will apply their practical and theoretical knowledge to identify, analyse, and respond to risks; define measurable quality goals and assurance steps; and build clear and effective stakeholder and communication management plans.

1.1 Assignment Objectives

The primary objectives of this assignment are:

●   To enable students to apply risk management frameworks in identifying and mitigating project risks systematically.

●   To develop comprehensive quality management plans that align with project and organisational goals.

●   To create effective stakeholder communication strategies, ensuring stakeholder needs and expectations are met throughout the project lifecycle.

1.2 Relation to Unit Learning Objectives

This assignment supports the unit learning objectives by:

●   Applying core principles of risk management to real-world scenarios, enhancing decision-making and critical thinking skills.

●   Strengthening the ability to design quality assurance and control systems that meet industry standards, such as ISO guidelines.

●    Enhancing communication skills and stakeholder engagement through the development of  targeted  communication  plans,  consistent  with  professional  project  management practices.

2. Part 1:  Team Demonstration  –   Risk Management Plan  Development Process (20%)

2.1 Objective

Demonstrate  the process of developing a comprehensive Risk Management Plan for your chosen project, explain how risks were identified, analysed, prioritised and   managed collaboratively. This includes highlighting the iterative process and the steps taken to ensure a thorough and actionable plan.

2.2 Instructions

2.2.1 Preparation

● Utilise Frameworks: Follow the Risk Management Framework covered in Workshop 6.

● Collaboration: Hold brainstorming sessions with your team. Ensure a broad and diverse range of risks were discussed in the sessions.

● Documentation: Record key insights, decisions, as well as reflections on improving the overall process.

2.2.2 Steps to undertake

● Risk Identification

○    Brainstorm  risks  using  techniques  such  as  root  cause  analysis  and  scenario planning.

○   Consider  both  internal  and  external  factors,  including technical, financial, and stakeholder risks.

○   Compile a Risk Register that includes at least 6 risks (for a team of 3 students) or

8 risks (for a team of 4 students) for the projects or the portfolio, detailing their sources, likelihood, and potential impacts.

○ Note that the Assessment will take into consideration the diversity and variations of the risks documented in the Risk Register.

○ Optional for students pursuing Distinction or High Distinction: Ensure cohesive risk identification in the portfolio and across projects, avoiding overlaps. Students may briefly explain this in the Overview or Wrap-Up of the demonstration, and reflect on which level the risks are related to (project vs portfolio).

● Risk Analysis

○   Analyse  the  risks  using  qualitative  and  quantitative  methods  to  assess  their likelihood and impact.

● Risk Prioritisation

○    Develop and utilise a probability-impact matrix to prioritise risks, focusing on risks that could severely impact project outcomes.

○ Justify your prioritisation decisions through team consensus.

● Response Planning

○    Develop response plans for the risks identified in your Risk Register.

○    Ensure response plans are realistic and within scope.

○ Optional for students pursuing High Distinction: Prepare a time and cost analysis report for management, elaborating the implications and time/cost requirements to execute the risk responses plans.

2.2.3 Demonstration (total of 11 minutes for a team of 4; for a team of up to 3, time should be adjusted to maximum 8 minutes):

● Overview of the Portfolio (1 minute): Introduce your portfolio and each of your project's objectives.

● Walkthrough the Risk Register (2 minutes per team member): Each team member presents two risks related to their project or the portfolio. The presentation comprises

○ an overview of each risk,

○   the evaluation/analysis of each  risk,  including  likelihood and impact with clear justification, and

○ a summary of the response strategy.

○   Students can illustrate their risks analysis by including screenshots of the Risk Register in their slides or displaying the  risk  register within the provided Risk Register template.

○ Optional for High Distinction: Students who are aiming for High Distinction may also depict the cost and time requirements needed to execute the risk responses

● Risk Prioritisation and Wrap Up (2 minute): Describe how risks are prioritised in the portfolio,  supported  by  the  probability-impact  matrix  visualisation  and  key  takeaways from the collaborations with your team on risk management.

2.2.4 Visual tools and submission:

● Slides   or   Visual   Tools: Use   graphs,   tables,   and   a   clear   Risk   Register   and probability-impact matrix for visual support.

● Submit the following individually before your Week 8 demonstrations:

○ Complete Team Risk Register (Excel or Word).

○ Team presentation slides (PDF).

3. Part 2: Individual Submission - Quality and Stakeholder/Communication Plans (80%)

Due Date: Week 9 (Friday 9th May 2025 11:55pm)

3.1 Objective

Develop individual Quality  Management and Stakeholder/Communication  Management plans for your individual projects. Demonstrate your ability to maintain project quality expectations and standards and engage and communicate effectively with stakeholders.

3.2 Quality Management Plan (30%)

3.2.1 Objective

Develop  a  Quality  Management  Plan  to  ensure  the  project  meets  the  desired  stakeholder expectations and standards and aligns with the organisation's goals.

3.2.2 Instructions

A. Define Two Quality Objectives and Quality Standards:

a.   Clearly articulate two quality objectives of the project, ensuring they align with the overall project goals and stakeholder expectations. Define what “quality” means for your individual project.

b.   For each quality objective,  identify at least two applicable standards relevant to your  system  (e.g.  ISO  9001,  WCAG,  or  discipline-specific  guidelines).  These standards or requirements must provide a basis for ensuring the project meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.

c.   For each quality objective, specify measurable criteria for assessing quality (e.g. defect rates, adherence to specifications, customer satisfaction scores). Ensure these metrics are linked to the identified quality standards and project objectives.

3.3 Stakeholder/Communication Management Plan (40%):

3.3.1 Objective

Develop  a  Stakeholder  Register and Communication  Matrix to support effective stakeholder engagement  by  defining  communication  expectations,  preferred  channels,  and  ensuring consistent communication throughout the project lifecycle.

3.3.2 Instructions

A. Stakeholder Register

a.   Identify at  least eight key stakeholders for the project, including stakeholders from the project team, the client organisation, and other external parties.
