Effective project management requires high quality planning. Despite the care taken in the setting up and planning stages, the unpredictable and dynamic context in which projects operate means that many projects run behind schedule, over budget and/or have their scope compromised. This can be the result of action by a stakeholder or the emergence of previously identified or unforeseen risks. This unit provides students with the skills and knowledge to identify and assess variations from the agreed plan using techniques such as earned value management. The results of this can help shape appropriate responses ranging from a trade-off in constraints, to the implementation of aggressive scheduling techniques such as 'crashing', or even termination of the project.
Students must have passed MAN2172 and MAN3714
Unit was previously coded MAN2174

Students will engage in learning experiences via ECU’s LMS as well as additional ECU learning technologies
This unit uses technology enhanced learning (TEL) to enhance the teaching and learning experiences for students by enabling them to engage in ways that would not normally be available or effective in a more traditional environment. All learning activities are designed to develop digital communication skills, critical thinking and teamwork. All students are required to complete set activities before engaging in workshops or discussions. While on-campus students attend classroom workshops, online students participate via LMS and will require regular online access. Webinars may also be used during the semester to bring both cohorts together or to stream in a guest lecturer from industry.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry.

Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
