Assessment Task Detail and Instructions:

Report title: Proposal for Successful Project

It is essential that project managers develop their unique strategy and approach to the management of projects. Without a clear approach at the outset of a project, there is little chance that the project manager will function or operate effectively, it will become a series of loosely connected activities that is reactive rather than pro-active. Projects that have a clear approach and strategy have an integrated and focused organisation and are significantly more successful. One of the essential strategies that the PM must have is managing project information. Project management information systems (PMIS) support project managers in planning, organising, controlling, and reporting projects while facilitating effective decision-making and problem-solving. PMIS provides managers with essential information on the performance parameters such as cost, time, quality and safety of a project and on the interrelationship of these parameters. Therefore, it is essential to consider and develop how you will manage project information as part of your approach to management.

The final appointment will be discussed and confirmed at a meeting of the Board of Directors.
