Question 0 – Hello World!We’ve included a little “Hello World!” example. There will be an accompanying video on Moodle (the link will be posted on the forum as an announcement) which you can follow to learn how to use this Jupyter Notebook.Even if you’ve used Jupyter before, it’s highly recommended that you watch the video and go through this introductory exercise, because this assignment uses auto-marking and requires you to follow a certain (straightforward) convention.Question 0.a – Saying Hello in MarkdownFor this assignment, you will need to answer the questions in the “cells” below each question. Some questions will require written work (which you can either do on paper and scan, or do in the cell using Markdown), and some will require R code (which you must do using R code in the provided cells).Watch through the video to see how this should be done.Question 0.b – Saying Hello in RYou will need to write some R code in this assignment. In this section, save a variable called “hello.world” (don’t include the quotes in the variable name) and set it to the value “Hello World!”. Then run the cell below the one you wrote your code in to verify that your answers have been registered and given the correct variable names.Like before, follow the video tutorial to see how this is done.Question 1 – ProbabilitiesSuppose we are playing a simple collectable card game (e.g. like Hearthstone, or Magic the Gathering). In this game, each player has a card deck which contains 30 cards (with no duplicate cards). At the start of this game, both players shuffle their decks. Then the player going first draws five cards, and the player going second draws six cards. After this, the game starts, and players alternate turns.Each player draws an additional card at the start of their turn. So, for example, after their third turn player one should have drawn eight cards in total (the 5 cards they started with, plus another three cards over three turns). Player two should have drawn nine cards in total after their third turn.For the following questions, suppose there is a special combination of five cards, and if you have those five cards in your hand you instantly win the game.A bit of helpAs a little hint for some of the questions below, you’re reminded that if you have some product n × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× (n − k), we can express this as n!/(n − k − 1)!. That is,n(n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3)…(n − k) = ( 1)!This is because we can think of the product n × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× (n − k) to be , which isn × (n 1)× (n 2)× …× 2 × 1, but with the last (n-k-1) parts removed. Because this is a multiplication of− −terms, we can think of removing terms as the same as dividing by them, meaning thatn × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× 2 × 1 n × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× (n − k) = ( 1)( 2)…(2)(1) = ( 1)!Question 1.aWhat is the probability that the first player will draw this combination on their first turn and win the game immediately? What about the second player?Question 1.bWhat is the probability that the five cards required for victory are all at the bottom of a player’s deck (i.e. they are the last five cards in their deck)?Question 1.cSuppose a player has drawn 15 cards from their deck. What is the probability that all of the cards in the winning combination are still in their deck?Question 1.dSuppose a player has drawn cards from their deck, where is between 0 and 30. What is the probability that all of the cards in the winning combination is still in their deck (i.e. that they have not drawn any piece of the winning combination yet) in terms of ?Question 2 – PDFs and ExpectationsSuppose we have defined a probability density function for a random variable as follows: 2 0 ≤ x ≤ α p(x) = Notice that our PDF has two constants, and . is a parameter, and is a coefficient which we will carefullychoose so the integral of 2 between and (with respect to ) is equal to .Question 2.aSuppose . Find the value of which would cause the integral of p(x) from 0 to with respect to x to beequal to . That is, find such that 1 c 2 dx = 1 0Question 2.bFind the value of for a general value of That is, find such that (you can do this in a way similar to how you answered question 2.a).αc 2 dx = 1Question 2.cSuppose = 3 and = 1. Find E(X ), the expected value of our variable .Question 2.dSuppose = 3 and = 1. Find Var(X ), the variance of our variable .Question 3 – DistributionsSuppose we are given the following information:You are modelling the number of people visiting a particular doctor’s office within a day, with the hope of identifying a disease outbreak in the local area of the doctorIt is known that, on an average day, 30 patients will see this doctor, with a standard deviation of 3 patients per dayQuestion 3.aDescribe a model you might use to model the number of patients on a given day (there might be more than one choice, so pick one and justify it). Also give the parameters of this model based on the given information.Question 3.bOn one particular day, 45 patients visit the doctor. Considering the model you developed in your answer to the previous question, do you think that this number of patients in a given day is cause for alarm? Use calculations to back up your answer by determining the probability of seeing 45 or more patients in a given day.Question 4 – Maximum Likelihood Estimation of ParametersSuppose we are developing a new plant treatment which will (hopefully) improve crop yields. We have a dataset which contains weights for two candidate treatments, as well as a control group (which receives neither of the candidate treatments).Question 4.aSuppose we want to create models for the weight of each group. You think a normal distribution would be suitable for this purpose, but a colleague has suggested that you should use a binomial distribution instead. Someone else proposed using a uniform distribution instead.For both the binomial and uniform distributions, explain whether they would be a good choice (justifying your answer).Also justify why using the normal distribution is a good choice here.Question 4.bSuppose, rather than modelling the weights directly, we instead want to model the probability that a plant will grow to weigh over 6 units of weight, for each of the three treatments we are testing (treatments 1 and 2, and the control). Suggest a model that would be suitable for this purpose, and justify your choice.Question 4.cAfter considering our answers to questions 4.a and 4.b, we have decided to model the weights directly (i.e. we will use the model discussed in question 4.a, not 4.b). To do this, we will create three models: one for each of the three groups. We will use normal distributions to model each of the three groups, and then compare the estimated means of each group.We now have to decide how we will calculate our estimates of the mean (μ) and standard deviation ( ) of each of our datasets. One approach is to use the maximum likelihood method, where we wish to maximize the likelihood of the data given the parameters μ and (that is, we wish to find the values of μ and which cause P(x μ,σ) to be maximized). Note that maximizing something is the same as maximizing the log of that thing, because log (for any base) is “monotonically increasing”- that is, if , log(a) > log(b). We’re actually going to maximize the log-likelihood below. A colleague of yours seems to think that maximizing the log-likelihood is the same as minimizing the mean absolute error. Another colleague disagrees, saying that they are misremembering and the likelihood is the same as minimizing the mean squared error. Yet another colleague seems to believe that we minimize the negative log-likelihood by minimizing the log-cosh loss (since they both have the word “log” in them; you are not convinced by this argument).Question 4.dOne of your colleagues in Question 4.c is correct; which one does it appear to be based on our calculations in the previous question? Prove this colleague correct using algebra (you only have to prove them correct; you don’t have to disprove the other two).Question 4.eGiven your maximum likelihood estimates for the mean of each population (and keeping in mind that we have a very small number of samples for each group), which treatment appears to work best?Question 5 – Central Limit TheoremSuppose our company is trialling a new production method for phone cases, based on 3D printing. 3D printing can a volatile process, and the company has decided to accept the fact that there will be a certain proportion of failures out of the total number of 3D prints.However, before committing to the new process, management would like to estimate the probability of failure by printing a number of phone cases. They have asked you how many cases they should print to ensure they have a reasonably good idea of the probability of failure.The engineers developing the new production method assure management that the probability of failure is somewhere between 1% and 20%, but they are unwilling to make any guarantees beyond this without testing the method first.Question 5.aWe will model this problem with a binomial distribution. Justify why the binomial distribution is a good choice for this problem.Question 5.bSuppose that we are considering three potential failure probabilities:We also are considering three potential sizes for our test production run (i.e. the number of phone cases we will print in our test run):For each combination of failure probability and number of cases printed, calculate the limiting distribution for the sample mean. You should calculate 9 limiting distributions in totalFor this question, do this using written calculations (i.e. not using R) and with the Central Limit Theorem.Question 5.cVerify the results you obtained by hand in the previous question using R code.Question 5.dFor each of the sample sizes and potential failure probabilities listed above, we now know the theoretical distribution by the Central Limit Theorem (we calculated this in Questions 6.b and 6.c). However, management is still not convinced and have asked us to develop a simulation which will experimentally demonstrate our calculations were correct.R has a built-in function called rbinom, which takes three arguments (the number of simulations you want to run, the number of trials per simulation, and the probability of success for each trial). Hint: you are allowed to use the rbinom function, although you don’t have to.Question 5.eWe’re presenting our findings to management; they have asked us to provide visualisations for our results. For each failure probability discussed above (0.01, 0.05 and 0.2) and for each potential sample size discussed above (50, 200, and 800), produce a histogram plot of the maximum likelihood estimates of the failure probability (calculated 50,000 times through 50,000 simulations).Question 5.fManagement has asked us recommend how many tests they should run. Based on all the information we have computed, do you recommend 50, 200, 800, or even more tests than that? Justify your answer using relevant calculations and/or by referring to the above plots.

Recent Question/Assignment Hi there, this is a marketing assignment. Just wondering how much it would be? 1500 words ( not including references, title page) Harvard reference For this assessment you will complete a critical analysis of an organization’s pricing, product and branding, distribution issues, and marketing communications issues for a particular service or good. Key to this assignment are the words ‘critical analysis’. In other words, merely describing what is happening with this organization’s marketing mix for a particular service or good will not meet the requirements of the assessment. While you will need to explain what is happening, you are expected to critically evaluate what they are doing – does it work and why or why not! You will need to justify your comments that will probably need to be supported by references. So, you will need to address the following: • the product itself and how the organization makes use of its branding strategy. Is the product a stand-alone product or part of a product range? What is the reason the product exists? • What is the pricing strategy for the product you have chosen to analyse? Why has the organization chosen this strategy? • Why has the organization chosen the distribution strategy it is using? Is this effective or otherwise? Are there any opportunities missed because of the current strategy? • Marketing communications covers a range of activities. What are the key strategies and media used to communicate with stakeholders in relation to the chosen product? How effective are these? Do they reach the target market/s? • What recommendations would you make to the organization as a result of the analysis you have undertaken? How would these recommendations improve the marketing of the product you have analysed? Remember that the depth of your discussion outweighs the number of words of the discussion. Brevity is important given the overall word limit but ensure that you are not superficial in your comments. This assessment lends itself to a report format. However, you may write in any format you choose as long as it is appropriately allows you to address the issues you need to discuss in your analysis. You should use the third person. Proof read for spelling and grammar issues. Do not rely on ‘spell-check’ as often words are changed by the automatic completion feature and it will be correctly spelled but the wrong word. Also, if you include an ‘Executive Summary’, ensure that it an executive summary that summarise the actual content of your paper. A reader should be able to read your summary and not need to read the rest of the paper to know the key points. Would you be prepared to base your whole grade on the content of your executive summary? A summary is not an introduction.

It has strong links with a number of high profile fashion houses whose products are featured in the magazines, and also provide a significant source of advertising revenue. Readers of the magazines are predominantly 35 – 54-year-old women.Readership has fallen over the last two years. This is due in the most part to due to competition from a range of other fashion magazines and consumers switching to digital media. Due to the decline in readership, profits have also fallen by 20% and there has also been a decrease in the share price.As a consequence, the new CEO, Amir Johnson, has been appointed. Amir was the former Marketing Director for a well-known successful media business that included a national newspaper, magazines and a subscription television channel. Those publications are focused mainly on sport and celebrity gossip. It is able to undercut its competitors with low prices, enabled by a ruthless approach to achieving high levels of efficiency.Amir and his team of Managers have developed a Strategic Plan that includes the following objectives.• Increase return on capital to 8% within 2 years• Enact a transformational change of the company that will convert all magazines to a digital format.• Close the printing and distribution site.• Achieve cost efficiencies through relocating the head office to a smaller office.• Restructure head office staff through moving to a smaller core of permanent staff and more contract staff.It is intended that the new digital magazines will have the following features:• Focus on health and beauty, fashion and celebrity gossip.• Some free content but full access available only on a subscription basis.• Additional features available to subscribers such as video clips, podcasts and discussionCurrent staff information is as follows.

As a project manager, you must see the big picture and coordinate the integration of these processes throughout a project life cycle (PLC). You begin by considering common elements to most projects. In addition, you reflect on the process of integration by considering the steps necessary for beginning a project. For good project management, it is not only necessary to work towards a successful final project. Each phase of PLC must be designed, evaluated and assessed based on specific project management approach. As a project manager, you determine how project management process groups are incorporated into each phase of project life cycle. These decisions might be based on the ultimate goal and characteristics of the project, the stakeholders’ objectives or the budget, among other elements.Instructions:In this assessment, students are to work individually or in groups of 3-4 to complete a project management report to Executive Management using PMBOK (PMI, 2013) as a guide.

They will identify change requirements of the project and critically analyse how the requirements introduce changes to the project management plan, process groups and life cycle of the project. Students are encouraged to analyse the case and share personal thoughts with group members in the class, and actively seek feedback and inputs from facilitators. The individual and group should organise discussion notes and upload it on the Blackboard accordingly.Assessment 1 Part A is due by the end of Module 2.Part B – Individual / Group ReportAfter the proposed changes to the project management plan and the formulation of project management processes and life cycle, students (individual or in group of 3-4 students) will elaborate and incorporate discussion outcomes from Assessment 1 Part A into a report. The report should be structured using an appropriate business style / format with maximum of 3000 words. The key contents of the report should include but not limited to: Change request analysis; Change details in the project management processes and each stage of project life cycle; Integrated change control; and justifications to the required changes that occur.Assessment 1 Part B individual/group final report is to be submitted at the end of Module 3. For the group final report, each group must nominate a group leader to upload the group final report on Blackboard. Only one submission is required for each group.Note: Participation and contribution to discussion forums consist of one original post and at least one response/feedback/critique to a peer’s posting.

There will be an accompanying video on Moodle (the link will be posted on the forum as an announcement) which you can follow to learn how to use this Jupyter Notebook.Even if you’ve used Jupyter before, it’s highly recommended that you watch the video and go through this introductory exercise, because this assignment uses auto-marking and requires you to follow a certain (straightforward) convention.Question 0.a – Saying Hello in MarkdownFor this assignment, you will need to answer the questions in the “cells” below each question. Some questions will require written work (which you can either do on paper and scan, or do in the cell using Markdown), and some will require R code (which you must do using R code in the provided cells).Watch through the video to see how this should be done.Question 0.b – Saying Hello in RYou will need to write some R code in this assignment. In this section, save a variable called “hello.world” (don’t include the quotes in the variable name) and set it to the value “Hello World!”. Then run the cell below the one you wrote your code in to verify that your answers have been registered and given the correct variable names.Like before, follow the video tutorial to see how this is done.Question 1 – ProbabilitiesSuppose we are playing a simple collectable card game (e.g. like Hearthstone, or Magic the Gathering). In this game, each player has a card deck which contains 30 cards (with no duplicate cards). At the start of this game, both players shuffle their decks. Then the player going first draws five cards, and the player going second draws six cards. After this, the game starts, and players alternate turns.Each player draws an additional card at the start of their turn. So, for example, after their third turn player one should have drawn eight cards in total (the 5 cards they started with, plus another three cards over three turns). Player two should have drawn nine cards in total after their third turn.For the following questions, suppose there is a special combination of five cards, and if you have those five cards in your hand you instantly win the game.A bit of helpAs a little hint for some of the questions below, you’re reminded that if you have some product n × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× (n − k), we can express this as n!/(n − k − 1)!. That is,n(n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3)…(n − k) = ( 1)!This is because we can think of the product n × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× (n − k) to be , which isn × (n 1)× (n 2)× …× 2 × 1, but with the last (n-k-1) parts removed. Because this is a multiplication of− −terms, we can think of removing terms as the same as dividing by them, meaning thatn × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× 2 × 1 n × (n − 1)× (n − 2)× …× (n − k) = ( 1)( 2)…(2)(1) = ( 1)!Question 1.aWhat is the probability that the first player will draw this combination on their first turn and win the game immediately? What about the second player?Question 1.bWhat is the probability that the five cards required for victory are all at the bottom of a player’s deck (i.e. they are the last five cards in their deck)?Question 1.cSuppose a player has drawn 15 cards from their deck. What is the probability that all of the cards in the winning combination are still in their deck?Question 1.dSuppose a player has drawn cards from their deck, where is between 0 and 30. What is the probability that all of the cards in the winning combination is still in their deck (i.e. that they have not drawn any piece of the winning combination yet) in terms of ?Question 2 – PDFs and ExpectationsSuppose we have defined a probability density function for a random variable as follows: 2 0 ≤ x ≤ α p(x) = Notice that our PDF has two constants, and . is a parameter, and is a coefficient which we will carefullychoose so the integral of 2 between and (with respect to ) is equal to .Question 2.aSuppose . Find the value of which would cause the integral of p(x) from 0 to with respect to x to beequal to . That is, find such that 1 c 2 dx = 1 0Question 2.bFind the value of for a general value of That is, find such that (you can do this in a way similar to how you answered question 2.a).αc 2 dx = 1Question 2.cSuppose = 3 and = 1. Find E(X ), the expected value of our variable .Question 2.dSuppose = 3 and = 1. Find Var(X ), the variance of our variable .Question 3 – DistributionsSuppose we are given the following information:You are modelling the number of people visiting a particular doctor’s office within a day, with the hope of identifying a disease outbreak in the local area of the doctorIt is known that, on an average day, 30 patients will see this doctor, with a standard deviation of 3 patients per dayQuestion 3.aDescribe a model you might use to model the number of patients on a given day (there might be more than one choice, so pick one and justify it). Also give the parameters of this model based on the given information.Question 3.bOn one particular day, 45 patients visit the doctor. Considering the model you developed in your answer to the previous question, do you think that this number of patients in a given day is cause for alarm? Use calculations to back up your answer by determining the probability of seeing 45 or more patients in a given day.Question 4 – Maximum Likelihood Estimation of ParametersSuppose we are developing a new plant treatment which will (hopefully) improve crop yields. We have a dataset which contains weights for two candidate treatments, as well as a control group (which receives neither of the candidate treatments).Question 4.aSuppose we want to create models for the weight of each group. You think a normal distribution would be suitable for this purpose, but a colleague has suggested that you should use a binomial distribution instead. Someone else proposed using a uniform distribution instead.For both the binomial and uniform distributions, explain whether they would be a good choice (justifying your answer).Also justify why using the normal distribution is a good choice here.Question 4.bSuppose, rather than modelling the weights directly, we instead want to model the probability that a plant will grow to weigh over 6 units of weight, for each of the three treatments we are testing (treatments 1 and 2, and the control). Suggest a model that would be suitable for this purpose, and justify your choice.Question 4.cAfter considering our answers to questions 4.a and 4.b, we have decided to model the weights directly (i.e. we will use the model discussed in question 4.a, not 4.b). To do this, we will create three models: one for each of the three groups. We will use normal distributions to model each of the three groups, and then compare the estimated means of each group.We now have to decide how we will calculate our estimates of the mean (μ) and standard deviation ( ) of each of our datasets. One approach is to use the maximum likelihood method, where we wish to maximize the likelihood of the data given the parameters μ and (that is, we wish to find the values of μ and which cause P(x μ,σ) to be maximized). Note that maximizing something is the same as maximizing the log of that thing, because log (for any base) is “monotonically increasing”- that is, if , log(a) > log(b). We’re actually going to maximize the log-likelihood below. A colleague of yours seems to think that maximizing the log-likelihood is the same as minimizing the mean absolute error. Another colleague disagrees, saying that they are misremembering and the likelihood is the same as minimizing the mean squared error. Yet another colleague seems to believe that we minimize the negative log-likelihood by minimizing the log-cosh loss (since they both have the word “log” in them; you are not convinced by this argument).Question 4.dOne of your colleagues in Question 4.c is correct; which one does it appear to be based on our calculations in the previous question? Prove this colleague correct using algebra (you only have to prove them correct; you don’t have to disprove the other two).Question 4.eGiven your maximum likelihood estimates for the mean of each population (and keeping in mind that we have a very small number of samples for each group), which treatment appears to work best?Question 5 – Central Limit TheoremSuppose our company is trialling a new production method for phone cases, based on 3D printing. 3D printing can a volatile process, and the company has decided to accept the fact that there will be a certain proportion of failures out of the total number of 3D prints.However, before committing to the new process, management would like to estimate the probability of failure by printing a number of phone cases. They have asked you how many cases they should print to ensure they have a reasonably good idea of the probability of failure.The engineers developing the new production method assure management that the probability of failure is somewhere between 1% and 20%, but they are unwilling to make any guarantees beyond this without testing the method first.Question 5.aWe will model this problem with a binomial distribution. Justify why the binomial distribution is a good choice for this problem.Question 5.bSuppose that we are considering three potential failure probabilities:We also are considering three potential sizes for our test production run (i.e. the number of phone cases we will print in our test run):For each combination of failure probability and number of cases printed, calculate the limiting distribution for the sample mean. You should calculate 9 limiting distributions in totalFor this question, do this using written calculations (i.e. not using R) and with the Central Limit Theorem.Question 5.cVerify the results you obtained by hand in the previous question using R code.Question 5.dFor each of the sample sizes and potential failure probabilities listed above, we now know the theoretical distribution by the Central Limit Theorem (we calculated this in Questions 6.b and 6.c). However, management is still not convinced and have asked us to develop a simulation which will experimentally demonstrate our calculations were correct.R has a built-in function called rbinom, which takes three arguments (the number of simulations you want to run, the number of trials per simulation, and the probability of success for each trial). Hint: you are allowed to use the rbinom function, although you don’t have to.Question 5.eWe’re presenting our findings to management; they have asked us to provide visualisations for our results. For each failure probability discussed above (0.01, 0.05 and 0.2) and for each potential sample size discussed above (50, 200, and 800), produce a histogram plot of the maximum likelihood estimates of the failure probability (calculated 50,000 times through 50,000 simulations).Question 5.fManagement has asked us recommend how many tests they should run. Based on all the information we have computed, do you recommend 50, 200, 800, or even more tests than that? Justify your answer using relevant calculations and/or by referring to the above plots.

Just wondering how much it would be? 1500 words ( not including references, title page) Harvard reference For this assessment you will complete a critical analysis of an organization’s pricing, product and branding, distribution issues, and marketing communications issues for a particular service or good. Key to this assignment are the words ‘critical analysis’. In other words, merely describing what is happening with this organization’s marketing mix for a particular service or good will not meet the requirements of the assessment. While you will need to explain what is happening, you are expected to critically evaluate what they are doing – does it work and why or why not! You will need to justify your comments that will probably need to be supported by references. So, you will need to address the following: • the product itself and how the organization makes use of its branding strategy. Is the product a stand-alone product or part of a product range? What is the reason the product exists? • What is the pricing strategy for the product you have chosen to analyse? Why has the organization chosen this strategy? • Why has the organization chosen the distribution strategy it is using? Is this effective or otherwise? Are there any opportunities missed because of the current strategy? • Marketing communications covers a range of activities. What are the key strategies and media used to communicate with stakeholders in relation to the chosen product? How effective are these? Do they reach the target market/s? • What recommendations would you make to the organization as a result of the analysis you have undertaken? How would these recommendations improve the marketing of the product you have analysed? Remember that the depth of your discussion outweighs the number of words of the discussion. Brevity is important given the overall word limit but ensure that you are not superficial in your comments. This assessment lends itself to a report format. However, you may write in any format you choose as long as it is appropriately allows you to address the issues you need to discuss in your analysis. You should use the third person. Proof read for spelling and grammar issues. Do not rely on ‘spell-check’ as often words are changed by the automatic completion feature and it will be correctly spelled but the wrong word. Also, if you include an ‘Executive Summary’, ensure that it an executive summary that summarise the actual content of your paper. A reader should be able to read your summary and not need to read the rest of the paper to know the key points. Would you be prepared to base your whole grade on the content of your executive summary? A summary is not an introduction.

As a project manager, you must see the big picture and coordinate the integration of these processes throughout a project life cycle (PLC). You begin by considering common elements to most projects. In addition, you reflect on the process of integration by considering the steps necessary for beginning a project. For good project management, it is not only necessary to work towards a successful final project. Each phase of PLC must be designed, evaluated and assessed based on specific project management approach. As a project manager, you determine how project management process groups are incorporated into each phase of project life cycle. These decisions might be based on the ultimate goal and characteristics of the project, the stakeholders’ objectives or the budget, among other elements.Instructions:In this assessment, students are to work individually or in groups of 3-4 to complete a project management report to Executive Management using PMBOK (PMI, 2013) as a guide. Students assign project management roles and responsibilities to the group members.This assessment is divided into 2 parts.Part A – Discussion activity: Change requirement and Project life cycleTo begin Assessment 1 Part A, students will be given a scenario based on approved project. They will identify change requirements of the project and critically analyse how the requirements introduce changes to the project management plan, process groups and life cycle of the project. Students are encouraged to analyse the case and share personal thoughts with group members in the class, and actively seek feedback and inputs from facilitators. The individual and group should organise discussion notes and upload it on the Blackboard accordingly.Assessment 1 Part A is due by the end of Module 2.Part B – Individual / Group ReportAfter the proposed changes to the project management plan and the formulation of project management processes and life cycle, students (individual or in group of 3-4 students) will elaborate and incorporate discussion outcomes from Assessment 1 Part A into a report. The report should be structured using an appropriate business style / format with maximum of 3000 words. The key contents of the report should include but not limited to: Change request analysis; Change details in the project management processes and each stage of project life cycle; Integrated change control; and justifications to the required changes that occur.Assessment 1 Part B individual/group final report is to be submitted at the end of Module 3. For the group final report, each group must nominate a group leader to upload the group final report on Blackboard. Only one submission is required for each group.Note: Participation and contribution to discussion forums consist of one original post and at least one response/feedback/critique to a peer’s posting. Your learning facilitator will also provide to individual student’s summative feedback on the postings to prepare students for their assessment submission.Learning Resources:Burke, R. (2013).
