BABM2006 Reflection of Learning Work-Based Management Project Assignment Brief

Assignment Introduction

Design a logo, poster and 90 second viral video for a reusable water bottle to encourage people to reduce their  use of single-use plastic. The starting point of any work task is a match of the organisation’s need to the skills  sets required of employees. In a randomly allocated group of 4, you will brainstorm details for a weekly project  brief that will serve as a job description with no less than 10 points. You will then collectively decide on the job  description to work towards with the guidance of your workshop tutor. Groups will rotate in the uptake of  relevant team roles for the project task as summarised in the table below: 

Project Manager The project manager leads the other team members and organizes the overall mission. Project managers typically create and organize the team, assigning the other project roles. Other responsibilities of the project manager include creating schedules and deadlines, organising,  and managing a budget for the project, delegating tasks, and providing updates to stakeholders. 

Business Analyst Also known as a resource manager, a business analyst ensures project teams have the technology, tools and resources needed to work efficiently. When a project team encounters a problem, a business analyst provides the resources needed to find a solution. Resource  managers and business analysts ensure team members have the necessary tools to fulfil their roles, and they analyse a teams’ resources to ensure they are meeting defined objectives. Subject Matter Expert To promote project efficiency, project managers might assign specific topics to team members, who become subject matter experts in the area. They are available to offer specialist input as needed and might be called upon to aid in making decisions related to their area of expertise. Project Team Member Every project team is composed of members who are assigned duties within the sphere of the project. A project member might be assigned a single duty, or they could be awarded multiple assignments. Project team member roles include contributing to overall project objectives and collaborating with the overall team to meet business needs.
