UTS: FEIT 49002 Managing Projects, Autumn 2017 page 1 of 9 Weekly Deliverables Your group will submit weekly deliverables (due in weeks 3-8) based on the contents of the week’s lecture topics (e.g., Stakeholders, scope, work breakdown structure, effort and duration estimation, risk assessment, etc.). Note that each weekly deliverable constitutes an element of a “live document”. This means that the contents will be evolving, get amended and updated until the preparation of the final report (due in week 10). Feedback on each weekly submission will be provided one week after the weekly due date for groups who submit their deliverable on time. The feedback should be used in your preparation of the final report. In order to maintain diligence and keep track of your group’s evolving work, or to be able to revert to earlier work, a version control system should be put in place by your group. An example of such a system could be as follows Document Name Version No Date- Time Author Changes Made Stakeholder Management Deliverable 2.0 13/8/15 – 3:00 pm Group 6, Sara Smith  Two more stakeholders added to Risk register  … The version control system should be included as an appendix in each of your submitted deliverables.
