PRO100 Information Systems Project Management Report Writing

Task Summary 

In this assessment task, you will progress your real-world scenario project from Assessment 2 to the  Closing process of the project life cycle and present a final report of your project. You will also reflect on your learning journey in this subject. 

Context 

1. As a Project Manager, you are the voice of the projects you manage. This will require you to oversee  the successful delivery of projects in managing organisation and stakeholder expectations as well as  communicate effectively with key stakeholders throughout the project life cycle including executive  leadership teams and other stakeholders in the organisation. In closing a project, it is vital that you  present a final report to the key stakeholders informing them of the overall success and performance  of the project. 
2. In an industry that collaborates globally you will need to be prepared to present either face-to-face in a  boardroom or virtually via collaboration platforms such as Collaborate Ultra, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or Zoom.
3. Reflective practice is a process of thinking about new experiences gained and reflecting on them with a  view of learning from these experiences. Reflection needs to be drawn from the experience and deep  thinking applied to determine what worked well, what did not and how better results could be  achieved. It enables you to increase your understanding and gain new insights about yourself, others  and situations. These new insights may lead to a change of thinking or behaviour with the aim of  improving results in the future. 
4. As group work is often a key development area for students, reflection is considered a key part of this  learning process. Consider how the group work experience from this subject be taken forward to the  next group assignment experience to achieve positive collaboration outcomes. 
5. In Project Management, teamwork and collaboration form a key part of working on projects.  Documenting and reflecting on project lessons learned provide future project teams with information  that can enhance their efficiency and effectiveness as they build on the experience gained from each  completed project.  
6. Successful reflection facilitates self-awareness, personal and professional growth, and lifetime learning.  This will help you develop into an active learner and become a reflective practitioner in your  professional life.
