Your task
Individually, you are required to prepare a project management plan to open a new branch of a mental
health retreat by outlining key project management concepts, such as triple constraint, planning and
scheduling, budget, and costs.
Assessment Description
The purpose of this assessment is to assess students’ ability to identify and determine the critical
components of the project management plan, including considerations for resource management and
communications, while also addressing scope, cost and schedule baselines and their relationship with
other areas of the Project. This will also develop the student’s ability to describe how the processes will
be executed, controlled, and monitored, guiding the team through different stages from the initiation to
the closing of the Project.
Assessment Instructions
For the purpose of this assessment, you are to imagine that you are hired by Palladium Private
(https://www.palladiumprivate.com/) as a Project Manager. Palladium Private started in 2003 and is a
health organisation in Brisbane (Qld) that focuses on mental health issues. Palladium Private has been
very successful over the years and currently still growing. The management team views further growth
potential by starting a new branch in Melbourne, Victoria, which will focus on the Greater Melbourne
area with similar services to those offered in Queensland. In your project you are to develop the project
management plan which includes the renting and installation of an office and treatment space, the
recruitment of a small staff (1 office manager and 5 therapists), all systems and also the marketing
within Victoria focussed on GP’s, Hospitals, health insurance companies and the general public. The
Palladium management team set the objective to have the new branch up and running by 1 March
2024, as the Victorian autumn is starting then and research has demonstrated that the colder and grey
climate creates more mental health problems and is obviously a great moment to start the branch by
then.
Your Project Management Plan should describe the following information to a broad audience of
stakeholders:
