UNIT 3: PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF COMPUTING PROJECTS




Unit 3: Planning and Management of
Computing Projects

Level: 3
Unit type: External
Guided learning hours: 120


Unit in brief
Learners study how project planning and management concepts are applied to computing projects.


Unit introduction
A project is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an
agreed business case. Good planning and management skills are essential to ensure that an end
product can be delivered on time, within budget and to the required specification.
This unit explores the business case needed for the initial approval of a computing solution to
meet organisational needs. It will provide you with the skills associated with project planning
and management: task scheduling, budgeting, risk management, time management, quality
management, and communication with all stakeholders throughout the life cycle of the project.
To complete the assessment task within this unit, you will need to draw on your learning from
across your programme.
In this unit, you will apply project planning and management techniques to a computing project
scenario. This will develop your knowledge and understanding of the role of a computing project
management professional, and support your progression to higher education studies.


Summary of assessment
This unit is assessed through a task set and marked by Pearson.
The set task will be completed under supervised conditions in two sessions during the assessment
period timetabled by Pearson. Part A will last three hours and Part B will last two hours.
The set task will assess learners’ ability to plan and manage a computing project. Information about
the project is released to learners at the start of each session.
The number of marks for the unit is 66.
The assessment availability is December/January and May/June each year. The first assessment
availability is December 2017/January 2018.
Sample assessment materials will be available to help centres prepare learners for assessment.
