This unit will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage project execution and closure, ensuring that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of stakeholders. You will learn about various activities involved in executing a project plan, such as managing project resources, monitoring project progress, and controlling project risks. You will learn about the importance of communication and collaboration among team members and stakeholders during the project execution phase. You will be able to identify the practical application of project monitoring, control systems, and the management of issues, such as scope creep, risk, quality, and baseline changes, arising during the execution. You will also learn about the importance of proper project closure, including finalizing deliverables, conducting post-project evaluations, and documenting project outcomes.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE qualitative feedback

Students valued the use of short quizzes during lectures, noting that they kept the class engaged, encouraged active thinking, and made the sessions more interactive and enjoyable, while also reinforcing the material learned.

Continue to maintain short in-class quizzes as a regular engagement tool to reinforce learning. Could introduce gamified activities to engage students engagement

Feedback from SUTE qualitative feedback

Students expressed concern that uneven team contributions can unfairly affect individual grades and highlighted the importance of academic results for their long-term outcomes.

Use peer evaluation or individual reflection reports to recognize different levels of contribution within group projects. Schedule progress checkpoints or brief updates to help identify and address issues of non-participation early in the group assessment.
