Overview
This unit provides you with the skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing contemporary work environment. You will identify, formulate and solve problems while being provided with industry focused learning opportunities during your final year of study. You will actively engage in characteristics of an authentic project management practice. These will include: time and resource constraints, capability gaps, cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary teams addressing complex problems and differing leadership and team member working styles. This unit provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate a deep understanding and practical application of the knowledge and skills gained in the early stages of the Master of Project Management, as well as demonstrating the attributes required of a CQUniversity Graduate. You will undertake a project related to your domain of choice and participate in tasks associated with project management within a contemporary work environment. Assessment includes the opportunity to plan and execute a project, analyse your project performance and self-reflect on your experience and lessons learnt.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Student and staff feedback.
Many students do not have much experience with reflective practice. This is an important capability for project management, both as an individually as it is for many professions and within the project management context e.g. through lessons learnt and retrospectives.
Reflective Practice is first introduced to Master of Project Management Students in PPMP20008 which is a first term unit and it is possible that the capability is embedded in other units. It is recommended that the unit coordinator/developer liaise with unit coordinators/developers of earlier units in the Master of Project Management and collaborate on strengthening the scaffolding of student's reflective practice capability, not only in the practicum but throughout the student's journey through the Master of Project Management.
- Apply project management knowledge and skills
- Plan and execute a project based on a project proposal
- Critically analyse and reflect on strengths and weaknesses in knowledge and skills related to project management
- Apply enabling processes used in certain project contexts.

1 Report
This assessment requires you to develop a concise and persuasive project proposal. You may develop the proposal within a domain or industry of your choice e.g. construction, engineering, information and communications technology, business and service management etc. The proposal must address the social issue defined and demonstrate a social innovation mindset. The high level social issue will be complex and you need to narrow your project focus to a very specific aspect of the issue. You will need to identify the specific problem or opportunity that your proposal will target and persuasively describe how the project aligns to the strategic direction of CQUniversity and the unit learning outcomes. The scope of the project should be realistic in terms of ability to execute the project within the term.
The project proposed must NOT be a research project, proposals of research projects may be awarded a zero mark. Therefore, you will not be able to survey or interview people, or collect data from them.
This is an individual assessment.
The Proposal Report is worth 15% of the overall grade for the unit and will be assessed with reference to the following criteria
- Professional, relevant, complete and well written project proposal
- Project demonstrates a social innovation mindset
- Project is achievable
- Risk and ethics profile is appropriate
- Enables students to draw on their own strengths, knowledge and experience to add value to the project.
- Enables students to widen their networks in their chosen industries/fields.
Postgraduate standards of spelling, grammar, presentation and conciseness will be considered within the marking structure.
As this practical unit is your last project management subject, having studied PMBoK, PRINCE2 and Agile, there is an opportunity to draw from a range of potential references including completed units, academic texts, peer-reviewed journals, current newspaper articles, government departmental reports, not-for-profit organisational publications, CQU website, allied professional services and personal critical reflections (if and where relevant). All references will be checked to ensure they are applicable to the in-text citation as reference falsification is deemed academic misconduct.
The assessment information provided on the unit Moodle site provides further information.
- Apply project management knowledge and skills
- Apply enabling processes used in certain project contexts.
- Knowledge
- Communication
- Cognitive, technical and creative skills
- Research
- Self-management
- Ethical and Professional Responsibility
2 Practical Assessment
You are required to participate in your workshops as well as work on your project between class times. There are seven parts to the practical assessment each part is worth 5% and is completed and submitted in the weekly workshops from weeks 4 to 10. You must be present at the workshop to be eligible for the marks.
Practical 1: Design Thinking Workshop (Workshop week 4) Paired activity and individual submission.
Practical 2: Prioritisation (Workshop week 5) Group submission
Practical 3: Backlog (Workshop week 6) Group submission
Practical 4: Sprint backlog and burn-down chart (Workshop week 7) Group submission
Practical 5: Project Progress (Workshop week 8) Group submission
Practical 6: Poster and Prototype Gallery Presentation (Workshop 9).
Practical 7: Retrospective (Workshop week 10)
Although there is a final due date specified for each workshop (in Moodle), there is a total of 7 weekly submissions that must be developed and submitted as scheduled in the weekly workshop sessions. These Workshop tasks commence in week-4.
There are seven practicals and each is worth 5%, contributing equally to 35% of the total grade for the unit.
Practicals will be assessed in terms of the following criteria:
- Prompt attendance, professional presentation and preparedness for the workshop
- Active participation and contribution to class activities and discussion
- Workshop Submission
Practical 1 in week four is an individual submission. Practicals 2-7 are group submissions however the mark for each also has an individual component as can be seen by the criteria listed above. Students who are not present or are unable to participate will be marked zero for that practical. An example of where late attendance may result in a zero mark includes Practical 1 in week 4, as once the design thinking session has started further participants are unable to join. Each practical has its own requirements, it is the students responsibility to ensure they are aware of the requirements for each prior to the workshop and come prepared. Failure to attend on time and fully prepared may mean the student will not be able to participate and therefore forfeits the marks for that practical.
The professional standard and format of these practicals must include appropriate referencing, spelling, grammar, presentation and conciseness.
Make sure you reference with the APA and that all references and in-text citations map to each other.
As this practical unit is your last project management subject having studied PMBoK, PRINCE2 and Agile, there is an opportunity to draw from a range of potential references including completed units, academic texts, peer-reviewed journals, current newspaper articles, relevant government departmental reports, not-for-profit organisational publications, CQU website, allied professional services and personal critical reflections. These references will be checked to ensure they are applicable as falsification of references is deemed academic misconduct.

3 Reflective Practice Assignment
This assessment requires you to engage in reflective practice and is divided into two submissions.
Reflective Baseline (Due Friday Week 3)
Reflective Report: (Due in students allocated workshop - Week 12)
Reflective activities early in the term will represent a baseline or personal 'current state' with later activities acting as a comparison to the baseline. You will be able to analyse the data you gather in the exercises to develop your reflective practice report. The activities highlight how reflective practice is embedded in to project management and how you can incorporate it into your professional development and career planning. This is an individual assessment. In your reflective report you will need to reflect on and critically analyse your experience in the unit and note implications to your project management practice and industry readiness. Some sections refer specifically to other assessments within the unit. If you did not submit or were not present during an assessment it is your responsibility to ensure this has been discussed with the Unit Coordinator and where alternate arrangements were made that these were completed accordingly. Where this is not the case, students may be marked zero for sections of the report where they are required to reflect on a component of the unit where they were not present or an assessment where no submission was recorded. Ensure that you are prepared for these assessments, including understanding what reflective practice is and how it differs from academic writing.
Assessment re-submission
This unit offers students the opportunity to re-attempt the Reflective Report as per sections 4.50 to 4.61 of the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework), highlights of which are noted below:
- Re-attempts are only available for failed assessments that have been submitted (refer s4.50)
- Depending on the assessment item and the case specifics, a re-attempt may include a modified assessment, partial assessment or a full resubmit of the original assessment (refer s4.51).
- A reasonable attempt to complete the assessment task must have been made (refer s4.54)
- Students have only one opportunity re-attempt the assessment task (refer s4.56)
- Re-attempts must be completed within seven consecutive days after receiving the assessment mark. The Unit Coordinator may extend this in exceptional circumstances (refer s4.57)
- A mark of no more than 50% for the re-attempted assessment task can be allocated. (refer s4.58)
Note: Students will only be given the opportunity to resubmit where their ability to pass the unit is at risk without the opportunity. Students eligible for reattempts will be advised through the marking comments and where necessary a follow up email with information on the specific re-attempt. Students should ensure they understand what they need to do to complete the reattempt. Students should contact the unit coordinator if they have any questions. The seven day period will begin on release of the assessment marks and it is the responsibility of students to ensure that they check Moodle and email regularly.
This assessment has two parts; Reflective 1: Baseline is due on Friday of Week 3 and Reflective 2: Report is due Friday of Week 12
Your reflective practice will be assessed in three parts:
Reflective 1: Baseline (Due Friday week 3 - 10 marks)
Reflective 2:Report (Due in Friday week 12 - 40 marks)
The assessment information on the Moodle site provide further details in relation to the assessment.
There are limited references required in the reflective submissions, and it is up to the student to ensure where and when citations are necessary. Do not place citations randomly in your assessments as this an example of academic misconduct.

- Knowledge
- Communication
- Cognitive, technical and creative skills
- Research
- Self-management
- Ethical and Professional Responsibility

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
