PROJECT-02 · Undergraduate · ENGLISH · PLANNED
Start with a delivery problem, build the project artifact, simulate a change and defend the decision.
Study time is an initial activity estimate, excluding extra reading, revision and extended laboratory or project work. Videos and question bodies have not been produced by adding this outline.
Complete these courses or demonstrate equivalent knowledge. These are recommended prerequisites, not enforced enrolment locks.

Use the first concepts from this section. Compare two fictional projects using costs benefits and uncertainty. Produce a labelled diagram, trace or calculation; explain each step and check one changed input.
3–6 questions on the preceding first-half concepts only: recall, visual interpretation, application and one plausible misconception. Explain each answer after submission.

Explain discounted benefits using a visual and one worked real-world example. Context: Compare two fictional projects using costs benefits and uncertainty. End with a prediction or check-for-understanding.
Explain sensitivity analysis using a visual and one worked real-world example. Context: Compare two fictional projects using costs benefits and uncertainty. End with a prediction or check-for-understanding.
Explain business case structure using a visual and one worked real-world example. Context: Compare two fictional projects using costs benefits and uncertainty. End with a prediction or check-for-understanding.
Compare two fictional projects using costs benefits and uncertainty. Work without the example, compare two cases, record assumptions and limitations, then self-review correctness, reasoning and clarity.
6–12 questions covering Options appraisal, Benefits versus features, Cost categories and the remaining section concepts, with cumulative retrieval from earlier sections. Include a new transfer problem; 70% unlocks progression.

6–12 questions covering Strategic alignment, Mandatory projects, Weighted scoring and the remaining section concepts, with cumulative retrieval from earlier sections. Include a new transfer problem; 70% unlocks progression.
Combine all three sections: Rank a constrained project portfolio and defend the assumptions. Submit an original worked artifact, evidence or tests, assumptions and a reflection. Rubric: correctness, method, practical usefulness, reproducibility and communication. Self-reviewed, not certified.
6–12 balanced questions sampling every section of Business Cases, Governance and Project Selection, including interpretation, calculation or reasoning, a misconception and a new application. Passing is 70%; review errors before retrying.
Project charters, schedules, risk registers, delivery simulations and benefits reviews. Guided work leads to an independent attempt, with a diagram, explanation, trace, calculation or tested artifact. Question bodies are generated when opened in your private learning path. Programming submissions are stored as text; the platform does not execute submitted code.
Use original or appropriately licensed datasets. Practical science activities use models or supplied data unless a qualified supervisor has reviewed a physical experiment.
