    ASSESSMENT TASKS
    There are two tasks to complete for this unit of competence:
Task 1 – Written responses
This activity has been designed to assess your knowledge and understanding of managing project human resources within projects.
This task consists of questionnaires which reflect the knowledge of project management (PMBOK). The responses should include the following:
· Must be relevant to your project as stated in BSBPMG530 Manage Project Scope, unless otherwise stated. Responses should link to the theoretical aspects of project human resources management followed by relevant experience / exposure of your nominated project you recently or are cu
ently working on to progress both your studies and your projects simultaneously. Your response to the questionnaires must relate to the same project topic chosen for BSBPMG530 Manage Project Scope subject unit.
· However, if you have started with this subject topic as an initial attempt of this course, you must negotiate and discuss with your Assessor to consider a project that you recently or are cu
ently working on or a project that you have worked in the past.
· If workplace project exposure does not apply to you, you must negotiate with your assessor to use a scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning. However, case study examples are a suitable substitute where workplace examples cannot be provided. Case studies are available on e-learning. Theory answers without reference to your experience will not be assessed as satisfactory
· Demonstrate that you can or have applied what you have learnt to your project, regardless of whether you have undertaken all the performance requirements in your workplace
Task 2 – Portfolio of Evidence
The portfolio of evidence comprises the assessment of the application of your project human resources knowledge. You will need to demonstrate your human resources management skills applied to a project which is based on the project you have chosen for BSBPMG530 Manage Project Scope subject unit. It should state relevant experience / exposure of your nominated project you recently or are cu
ently working on to progress both your studies and your projects simultaneously.
If you have started with this subject topic as an initial attempt of completing this course, you must negotiate and discuss with your Assessor to consider a project that you recently or are cu
ently working on or a project that you have worked in the past.
If workplace project exposure does not apply to you, you must negotiate with your assessor to use a scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning. However, case study examples are a suitable substitute where workplace examples cannot be provided. Case studies are available on e-learning.
To such a degree you must negotiate with your assessor to use a scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning.
Your nominated project must be agreed between you and your Assessor so that its methodology, tools and techniques accommodate to the performance requirements of each Unit of Competency prior to start of work on the unit.
Some of the tasks have been developed as a reflection of gaining feedback and ideas on methods, plans, strategies, standards, team effort and inputs of project team members through ve
al interactions that may occur in a real-life project environment situation whilst managing human resources with a project. Students are encouraged to conduct those tasks by interacting with classmates and stage a real-life work environment to
ainstorm and generate an understanding of the project requirements.
Your project must comprise:
· a comprehensive, detailed and integrated project management plan
· formal communications plan
· a devoted and project-based budget
· formal and planned involvement with a wide range of stakeholders
· a documented risk, issues and change-management methodology
· a quality plan with assurance and control processes
· a project team-based environment.
Evidence of the following is important:
· demonstration of human resources management for several complex projects
· knowledge of human resources management plans, tools, issues and likely challenges
To achieve competency, you are required to demonstrate knowledge, skills and experience to:
Performance Evidence
Evidence of the ability to:
· plan and allocate human resources to a project
· identify and organise project personnel training and development
· manage project personnel to achieve project outcomes
· apply human resource management (HRM) methods, techniques and tools to the project.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once
Knowledge Evidence
· To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
· summarise human resource management (HRM) methods, techniques and tools
· explain strategies for managing project human resources and their application to different situations

Functional conflict is a type of conflict to reach our specified goals by the efforts of the parties where there are effective elements of the aspect that the efforts can achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. It is a specific characteristic when the parties work together to resolve the conflict in a constructive manner and is very much different from the dysfunctional conflict where the parties attempt to resolve the conflict in a way that harms the others or the bystander. On the other hand, dysfunctional conflict is a type of conflict that occurs when two or more than two groups are involved in coming to an agreement that is not beneficial for all the people who are involved. This type of conflict can effectively cause emotional harm, distress, or may damage the relationships by creating a power struggle. Functional conflict is a productive one and helps to resolve the issues at one hand while the dysfunctional conflict is a destructive one and often leads to further conflict. It is effective to recognise that when the conflict is taking place in the organization in regards to the particular project management it is effective to use functional conflict in order to resolve the issue. 
The project that is taken into consideration for the detailed aspects of the study in handling the entire management processes is the incorporation of the technological aspects in the organization CBSA. CBSA is an organization that provides business solutions to the small and medium firms. Involvement of Technology and other updated software is the latest project that is taken up by the organization. In this aspect any sorts of conflict arising from the project management needs to be addressed with functional conflict.
    Question 2: Why is it important to build a relationship before you need it? (BSBPMG515- 1.1,1.2,1.3, 1.4, 2.1,3.1, 3.3, PE 1,3, KE 2,4)
1 mark for your response and 2 marks for explanation and 2 marks for detailed information with example from your project. Total of 5 marks> 5 Marks
