Project Management for Enterprise

ENT 6A6: PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR ENTERPRISE ASSESSMENT TWO BRIEF.
This is an individual assessment that requires students to develop a project plan using MS-Project and
submit an individual report. In the report you will describe the key methods used and steps taken to create
your project plan (include screen shots to evidence your work). Additionally, you are expected to use a
range of academic sources to substantiate explanations of the key techniques used. You will be expected
to reference additional sources beyond the core text and class materials.
The two components to be assessed are:
1) Report: 2,500 created in MS-Word or PDF
2) Project Plan created in MS-Project
After considering your initial scoping and planning documentation from assessment one, the Business
Owner of Northampton Taxis has contacted you to run the project for the company. In light of the
considerations presented from the initial scoping and planning documentation, the Business Owner has
made the following adjustments to the project scope:
Project: Northampton Taxis Website Development Project
Start Date: 2nd March 2020
Required End Date: 58 working days from the start date
Budget: £13,000
Quality Specifications: Website design confirms to established guidelines as well as meeting requirements
specified in the Data Protection Act (UK Legislation 1998).
You will need to create a project plan starting from the 2nd March 2020. Project task durations and costs
allocated to each task can be found in table 1. You are required to consider the resources needed to
undertake the project, how much you will spend on material and work resources and to ensure the project
is planned to complete within time and on budget.
The report will enable you to demonstrate your individual reflections and understandings on the criticality
of project planning and monitoring and control. There are four key sections to the report, which are:
Section One: Introduction
Section Two: Planning (see Project Plan section)
Section Three: Monitoring and Control (see Project Plan section)
Section Four: Evaluation (refer to Marking Scheme)
You must include a reference page at the back – remember to cite academic sources. The work must
also include a title page (with student name and number clearly specified) and a content page.
