Only the project plan: The assignment exclusively centres on the planning phase of a project, excluding execution. Our deliverables will solely consist of planning documentation, adhering strictly to the requirements outlined in the assignment specification.
Group Assessment: This assessment is a team-based project. All Part I documents must be submitted exclusively through Confluence/Jira, as it is a mandatory requirement.
Team Collaboration: Successful completion of the project requires active collaboration from the entire team.
Individual Contribution Evaluation: While the project is a collective effort, individual contributions will be assessed and factored into the evaluation.
Gradual Contribution: Contributions will be continuously assessed throughout the project sprints. It is essential to document these contributions in the Confluence space.
Impact on Assessment: The visibility and consistency of individual contributions during the sprints will significantly influence the overall assessment of each team member’s performance.

Your IT Company has been approached by a group of stakeholders interested in developing the “City Pulse” platform or “Safe Net” platform (based on the project your team selects). They are in the process of selecting a development partner and have asked your company to create a detailed project plan to demonstrate your capabilities and approach. To secure the project, your company needs to create a comprehensive project plan that includes all essential elements and present it to the stakeholders. This will be done in three parts,
Part 1- Group Project Management Plan (25%)–8th Jun 2025 11.59 pm (AEST/AEDT)
Your team of project managers is responsible for delivering the project efficiently. Here’s a high-level overview of the tasks:
It’s common in project management assessments for additional documents to receive additional marks, especially when those documents enhance the quality and completeness of the project management process. Additional documents can demonstrate a deeper understanding of project management principles and best practices. However, it’s important to ensure that any additional documents are relevant, well-prepared, and directly contribute to the project’s success.
These tasks are integral to effective project management and will help ensure the successful delivery of the project to the organization. Each task should be completed with careful consideration of project goals, stakeholders, and best practices in project management.
There will be two group progress reflection reports due at the end of each sprint:
Group Progress Reflection 1: 11th May 2025 11.59 pm (AEST/AEDT)
Group Progress Reflection 2: 25th May 2025 11.59 pm (AEST/AEDT)
These reflections will account for a total of 20% of your overall marks. They should be documented on Confluence and will provide an opportunity to reflect on your team’s work during each sprint.
A template will be provided to assist you in structuring these reflections. These reports should cover key aspects of your project progress, including achievements, challenges, lessons learned, and adjustments made during each sprint.
In Week 12, your team will deliver a group presentation based on the documentation prepared. During the presentation, you will summarize how your team plans to manage the project during the monitoring and execution phase. Additionally, you will outline the approach for handing over the project to the client.
A general summary of the requirements for the group presentation will be provided by your tutor in the workshop during Week 10.
This presentation will account for 15% of your overall marks and is an opportunity to showcase your project management skills, communication abilities, and understanding of the project’s management and execution phases.
Introduction: Your Company is currently in the process of competing for a major contract under the City Pulse initiative, launched by the Victorian Government. This initiative aims to enhance urban mobility, reduce congestion, and improve public access to real-time transport and traffic information across Melbourne.
To main goal of the initiative is developing City Pulse,a web-based platform that provides real-time visualizations of public transport movements and traffic conditions across Melbourne and its growing suburban regions. The platform is designed to be intuitive, scalable, and citizen-focused, turning complex data into meaningful insights that help commuters, city planners, and transport operators make better decisions.
City Pulse will be particularly valuable for suburb an communities that have been heavily affected by rising traffic congestion and an increasing number of road accidents — both of which have led to longer commute times and a growing frustration among daily travellers.
Problem Statement: Melbourne’s rapid population growth has led to increased traffic congestion and a higher incidence of traffic accidents, particularly affecting suburb an communities. Commuters often face delays due to traffic congestion or public transport schedule changes, but reliable real-time data is rarely accessible in a user-friendly format. Existing transport appstypically focus on route planning without providing live insights into current road conditions or public transport statuses.
City Pulse a ims to bridge this gap by offering a centralized platform that:
This platform is particularly beneficial for suburban commuters who experience significant delays due to traffic congestion and accidents, providing them with timely information to plan their journeys more effectively.
Platform Modules:
Your company is currently in the planning and early development phase of Safe Net, a smart parental control system designed to help families monitor and protect children’s online activity in real time. With growing concerns around cyber bullying, harmful content, online predators, and malware-infected websites, many parents are seeking a reliable, user-friendly solution to manage and secure their children’s digital experience, across browsers, devices, and networks.
Safe Net is being designed to offer real-time web monitoring, intelligent threat detection, and flexible parental controls that can adapt to different household rules and child age groups. The platform will include a dashboard for parents to view alerts, set restrictions, and receive notifications if harmful content or risky behavior is detected.
Children today spend a significant amount of time online, using devices for education, entertainment, and social interaction. However, this increased access exposes them to a wide range of digital threats, including explicit content, phishing websites, scams, online predators, and malware.
Existing parental control tools are often limited to basic content filtering or manual site blocking. They don’t actively detect web threats in real time or provide context-aware alerts that help parents respond to new risks as they emerge. Parents need a solution that is smarter, more adaptive, and easier to use.
Safe Net aims to fill this gap by providing an integrated, cloud-connected platform that uses both predefined content rules and real-time web threat intelligence to keep children safe online, without requiring parents to be cyber security experts.
