Your task Construct an infographic that investigates the success factors and failure factors in a major Australian project from any industry. Assessment Description. In this individual assessment, students will be given an opportunity to analyse the organisational factors that promote effective project management by considering the project management planning and execution phases and analyse the elements that may give rise to ethical compromises.
Assessment Instructions
• Nominate a specific major Australian project of your choosing and in an infographic format, analyse in detail both the steps critical for its success and the critical pitfalls that could lead to its failure.
• Integrate the ethical considerations into these steps and show how ethical considerations may impact the success or failure of the chosen project.
• Analyse in detail, how and why these steps are critical. • You may use one case study for the success factors and another for the failure factors, or the same
project for both. • The following link is one of many where you can find free infographic templates
