You can do this based on the assumption that you are the team leader of a case
study business or a business you work for if applicable. It’s important that this
business has strategic objectives in place and has the need for three resource
plans to be put in place, for example, the need to employ more staff or complete
purchasing to help achieve a new or existing project or business venture. Speak to
your assessor to get approval if you want to base this on your own business.
Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical skills
that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen career.
For this reason, basing your project on a real business if you have the opportunity
to, will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a relevant, practical
and meaningful way!
You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you
need to take are outlined below. Before you begin, complete page 4 of your Project
Portfolio.
To start with, read through the Simulation Pack, or other related busines
information if using a real workplace so that you understand the business’s
objectives and the resourcing needs.
Outline the business context and the regulatory and legislative considerations
Consult with relevant stakeholders to find out the nature and level of
resourcing required
If using the case study in the simulation pack for this unit, you need to select one of
the operational activities provided to you in the operational plan extract. Three
different resources have been identified for each different activity that you will base
your project on.
There are a range of activities outlined that meet the two different business
objectives. Read through this information and select the activity and three
resources related to that activity. A range of policies and procedures related to
finance authorisation, procurement, privacy, communication and recruitment have
been provided for the range of different resources you might select.
As part of this step, you are required to consult with relevant stakeholders (at least
two) to find out the nature and level of resourcing required. If in the workplace, you
can meet with real stakeholders and invite your assessor to attend in person, online
or record the meeting/s for them to watch later.
Your assessor will be looking to see that you can:
Use structure and language appropriate to the context of the meeting and the
types of stakeholders you are meeting with.
You can arrange only one meeting to discuss the three resource plans if the same
stakeholders are involved for all three plans. This may be the case for a smaller
business with a one-person (or smaller) management team. Or you may need to
Submit Section 1 of your Project Portfolio and include all attachments as required in
this section.
Develop your three resource plans in Section 2 of your Project Portfolio. As part of
this step, for all three resource plans, you need to plan for:
Timelines
After you have completed Section 2 of your project portfolio, develop a formal
Scope of Requirements document in a template of your choice (or a specific
workplace template if relevant), that can be sent to the selected vendors once
approval from management has been granted. Attach this to section 2 of your
project portfolio.
Develop a system for monitoring the resource usage that includes a policy and
procedures for the evaluation of the resource allocations.
As part of the next activity steps, you will need to follow this procedure when you
evaluate and report on the resource usage.
Attach these procedures to your portfolio in Section 2.
i There are three separate resource plans in Section 2 of your Project Portfolio. You
need to complete all three separately for each of the resources.
As part of this step, you are required to obtain the necessary approvals for your
Submit Section 2 of your Project Portfolio and include all attachments as required in
this section.
It’s now time to put your planning into action by negotiating and obtaining the
resources according to your plans. This needs to be completed within the
timeframes outlined in your planning and according to all other organisational
requirements such as procurement policies. As part of this step, you will need to
provide evidence that you have done this for all three of your plans which will
include:
obtaining quotes
If using the case study, you can assume that your manager has approved your
recommendation after you send the email recommending your preferred suppliers.
If in the workplace, attach any approvals you received as part of the process.
Submit Section 3 of your Project Portfolio and include all attachments as required in
this section.
If completing this in the workplace, a period of time needs to have passed so that
you have data to review. There must also be at least one corrective action that
needs to be implemented for at least one of the resources. If using the case study,
your assessor will provide you with some specific information tailored to your
unique portfolio.
Review the data about the resource usage for all three resources and develop a
report that includes information on the usage of these three resources. In your
report include:
How the resource usage helped meet the business unit’s objectives.
Report on corrective action where there has been a budget overrun or goals
haven’t been met and an action that has been implemented to achieve optimal
efficiency of the resources (at least one corrective action must need to be
completed for at least one resource and evidence of this needs to be provided
as an attachment in this section).
Work into Section 4 of your project portfolio to plan your report and corrective action
and then from your notes develop a formal report and include this report as an
attachment in this section.
Make sure you have completed all sections of your Project Portfolio, answered all
questions, provided enough detail as indicated and proofread for spelling and
grammar as necessary.
Submit to your assessor for marking.
