Stakeholders – Should have been focused on this Project.
WBS/Gantt Charts/PERT/Critical Path – Good WBS and Gantt Charts.
Budget/hours/Timing/Milestones – Budget appears to be full time on the project rather
than the time available for the team members. Not clear if there is any contingency in the
plan.

6/10 points
The Technical IT Research Plan 10/100 points
The research plan raises a number of questions as it allocates the same topic to a number of
team members. All 4 team members will research WAN/LAN Networks and IT Technologies,
2 team members will research Cloud Strategy and Client Research. It is not clear if this will
result in overlaps and inefficient research.
5/10 points
Quality of Report/Presentation 10/100 points
Report
A Professional Report. Clearly written and understandable
3/5 points
Presentation
Good Business case opening. Good structure to the Presentation. A convincing Presentation
with one or two exceptions. The number of hours allocated to the project appeared to be
more than the time available to the team. The structure of the project team was not
convincing with 2 project managers and this did not appear an efficient way of organising
the team. Feedback was also given that the team shouldn’t rely on the Freedom of
Information Requests data being available in time to assist the project.

Individual Contribution
Initiation and Planning Phase 5 points/100 points
Adam W. He is a convincing Project Manager who is committed to bringing home
the project.
His team is not working well together and he needs to spend more time with each team
member to guide and encourage them on their tasks.
Nervous start to the presentation but he improved as the presentation progressed. During
the Presentation he needs to be careful not to talk over and undermine his team members
when they are presenting.
3/5 points
Chris R. A very credible and convincing presentation which was delivered in a calm
manner with good verbal skills. He clearly understands the assignment and understands
project management techniques and disciplines.
3/5 points
Omer M. Clearly trying hard to contribute to the project but often finds it difficult to
convince others of his point of view. An acceptable presentation.
2.5/5 points
Chris K. Not an active contributor to the project. Needs to work as team member to
help the team achieved the assignment objectives. His presentation was acceptable but not
overwhelming.
