Type of Assessment
This summative assessment will enable your Assessor to make a judgement of competency based on the submission of your completed assignments against the requirements of this unit of competency.
Assessor Instructions
The Assessment Benchmark developed for each unit of competency is the evidence criteria used to judge the quality of performance (i.e. the assessment decision-making rules). Assessors must use these benchmarks to make judgement on whether competency has been achieved and to determine if the participant has performed to the standard expected to meet unit requirement and learning outcomes. Competency results for each unit are recorded in the Record of Assessment Form.
Reasonable Adjustment
Careers Australia will allow flexibility in relation to the way in which each unit is delivered and assessed based on the student's requirement. The following are the reasonable adjustments for this unit:

Assessment Coding
Assessment of this program of study is based on competency based principles.
S = Satisfactory
NS = Not Satisfactory
Students who fail to perform satisfactorily for the assessment in the prescribed date may be assessed as 'not satisfactory'. You are required to be assessed as 'Satisfactory' on completion of Assessments assigned by your assessor for this unit of competency.
Re-assessment
Any re-assessment is conducted as soon as practicable after you have been informed of the requirement to be re-assessed and have been given the opportunity to be re-trained and assimilate the training. You are re-assessed in only the areas assessed NS. It is at the assessor/s discretion to re-assess the entire assessment should it be demonstrated an overall understanding of this unit has not been achieved. Students that are assessed "satisfactory" after re-assessment of areas deemed NS will achieve competency for this assignment.
I acknowledge the assessment process has been explained and agree to undertake assessment. I am aware of Careers Australia's appeals process, should the need arise. I also understand that I must be assessed as 'satisfactory' in all parts of the assessment to gain a competent result for this unit of competency. I declare that the work contained in this assessment is my own, except where acknowledgement of sources is made. I understand that a person found responsible for academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action (refer to student handbook).

Hints: - The following hints will assist when preparing reports for submission
Report format:
Executive summary
An executive summary is a very useful tool in communicating your information to busy people. It is essentially a short summary (often no more than a page) of the report objectives, findings, and conclusions.
Contents
Any report over three pages in length should have a list of contents. A list of contents not only helps people find their way around the report but it also gives an indication of what is in the report and the structure.
Introduction
The introduction should set the scene for the report by concisely describing the reason for the report and the background or history relevant to the report.
Body
The body should address the main information including:
• objectives of the review;
• how the review was conducted, who was consulted, etc; and
• results of the review and key issues identified.
Summary/Conclusions/Recommendations
Your conclusions should be clearly justified with reference to the results of the review. Your recommendations should be made twice, briefly in the opening summary or Executive Summary and then in more detail in the recommendations section.
This information is to be handed to each student to outline the assessment requirements.
Assessment due date: This will be aligned to Session Plan
Instructions: Using your current workplace and your assignment submitted for unit BSBPMG511- Manage Project Scope; and BSBPMG516- Manage project information and communication; complete the following tasks.
Scenario: Please reflect back to your assignment scenario for BSBPMG511- Manage Project Scope; and BSBPMG516- Manage project information and communication.

which details input from your stakeholders, identify the risk objectives and standards for this project.
Risk objectives and standards that will be met were agreed upon after the project stakeholder meeting. The risk attitude will depend on factors including the degree of risk an entity is willing to accept to achieve their objective, he organisation's ability to work with uncertainty and the organisational tolerance level.
2. What possible risk does the project contain? Provide a minimum of three general contexts in which risks may be identified for this project.
3.
a. Identify two reliable risk-identification methods that you could use to identify the risks for this project. You may refer to Appendix B which has provided you with further resources. Are these resources valid risk-identification methods?
b. Identify project risks using the two valid and reliable risk-identification methods of you have identified in question 3a.
4. Categorise your project risks, you may elect to categorise by potential cause of risk; or by project objectives. Your answer can be provided in a Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) or a word table.
5. Consider if there are any Industry sector risks that could apply to the CA City Retail Group. What risk contexts would be considered common?
Task 2 – Analyse project risk

2. You have been given delegated authority to take the lead role in the risk analysis process. Use your chosen risk-analysis process to analyse and qualify the project risks, threats and opportunities. Prepare a Risk Priority Table showing the outcome of your risk analysis. Draft an email that you would send, with the Risk Priority Table attached, to your project team and stakeholders to gain agreement on the risk prioritisation.
3. Start to prepare a draft Risk Management Plan for your project using the Risk Management Plan template that has been provided. You are required to complete the following sections in this draft plan:-
