Assignment Resources

Library Guide

The links below provide a starting point for some of the possible topics for assessment item 1. Some of these are listed as compulsory reading and will help you to understand the key concepts. Note that you are also encouraged to find additional resource material and where possible to include information from relevant research articles and/or examples from case studies.

Often the topics are broad enough to allow more than one group to cover different aspects of the topic. This would require coordination with the local lecturer to ensure that the two groups covered different aspects of the topic in their presentation.

In addition to the topics listed below, your presentation could be about:

• Any area of project management that is related to the weekly topics and adds new material, a different perspective or depth to the information already covered in the course lecture material. There is scope to research and present more information about many of the weekly topics. (For example, in the Quality Management week students may wish to investigate Six Sigma further or ICT students may wish to cover more detail about quality management in the software engineering discipline. See "other topics" below for starting references.).
• Any other topic that is related to project management that is approved by your local lecturer.

Submission

All members of the group must submit all the assignment files, Submit your assignment electronically below in .zip format.

The zip file must include:

1. The PowerPoint slides for your presentation.
