OPMG6850: Project Studies Capstone
2024 unit information
The Project Studies Capstone unit aims to provide students with an opportunity to integrate and apply the theoretical concepts, skills, and knowledge acquired throughout the degree. This unit is designed around a real-world project, program, or organizational capability and leadership challenge. Students will draw on their understanding of key project and program management principles such as value delivery, governance, strategy, planning, control, risk, communications and stakeholder management. This capstone unit emphasizes the application of these concepts in a practical context, enabling students to demonstrate their proficiency and readiness for professional practice. Students will also be expected to critically evaluate the outcomes of their project or program, comparing them against initial objectives and identifying areas for improvement. This process will not only showcase their technical skills but also their decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership abilities, preparing them for success in their future project and program management careers.
