IX7102-A2:
- Specify and develop the critical skills to organize conditions for project execution.
IX7102-A3:
- Specify and develop the critical skills to define effective communication for project development and control.
IX7102-LO1:
- Review and analyse tools to engineer conformance of the project at the tactical level of project manager.
IX7102-LO2:
- Critically analyse, design and organize process to construct project baseline plan and performance measurement plan for the project.
IX7102-LO3:

Total Learning time 200 hours:
- 36 hours contact time
- 164 hours independent study (team construction and real case analysis)
Students are expected to attend all lectures/seminars and actively engage with online learning resources.
Learning outcome IX7102-LO1 is assessed through:
- individual construction (1,000 words) of project baseline plan and performance measurement plan (25%),
- and individual critical analysis (1,000 words) of similar construction by someone else (25%).
Learning outcome IX7102-LO2 is assessed through:
- a group presentation (equivalent 1,000 words – 25 minutes presentation and 5 minutes Q&A) of project plan review (25%).
Learning outcome IX7102-LO3 is assessed through:
- reflective report (1,000 words) to analyse group presentation (by other groups): 25%.
