Assume that you have received a performance report about two project team members.
Team Member A:
Team member A has been missing the certain deadlines of the deliverables. He has been having
some personal problems, which caused the lack of effectiveness at the workplace.
He is aware that the personal problems should not affect the teamwork negatively, but the
financial issues are distracting him from work.
For this reason, he hasn’t been able to manage his time properly and also decrease his
performance.
The team member has reported that his/her partner has just lost their job, and this is causing
additional stress in the workplace
The team member does not feel engaged with the task/s allocated to him/her and believes
that could do more
One of the main issues with the team member is time management
The team member's current behaviour is negatively affecting the team's morale
Team Member B:
Team member B has been facing some private issues at home, he has just divorced from her wife
and also her daughter is sick and it’s at the hospital.
He has been extremely stressed out at work and cant concentrate in her tasks. He is usually being
late at work in the morning because of his daughter hospital check ups.
He can’t catch up other team member’s activities at work, so he is being argumentative about it.
He is also complaining about his workload because he considers it too heavy and has lost his
motivation at work.
He needs support and guidance for handling and managing his stress and conflict.
Schedule a time with the trainer and assessor in week 4 of class to individually meet with the two
team members. Two members of your project team will play the two team members in simulated
work conditions:
Duration: 15 minutes/meeting
This is a Role-Play.
This is an assessable task, and the trainer and assessor will evaluate your performance during the
meeting.
If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to make alternative arrangements with the trainer
and assessor to perform the Role-Play

B) Team training
1. Develop a social media post to publish on the social media page used for the project team, to
promote a training activity that addresses one of the following:
Team Building
Problem Solving
Emotional Intelligence
2. Select a TED TALK to share with the rest of the project team about one of the following topics:
Effective teams
Self-leadership
Self-motivation
Copy and paste the title of the video and the URL in the space provided below.
I chose this video because it explains in a very didactic and simple way the importance of building
an effective team and how this can carry a company to success.
Part of your project team comprises team members who work in other business departments and
that have been assigned to the project on a part-time basis.
Lately, departmental managers have increased the workload on those team members creating a
severe resource conflict that is impacting the productivity and morale of the project team.
Reflect on how you could resolve this resource conflict:
The team members feel they should be loyal to the team they come from; however, they are
also committed to the project
The additional workload is forcing the team members to work extra hours
The team members are tired, and the rest of the team feels their stress
The situation is impacting the achievement of project objectives
Write an email to the project sponsor illustrating the situation and recommend two actions that
will support the project team without impacting the rest of the organisation.
Note: you cannot hire additional project staff.
Additionally, inform the project sponsor of the outcome of the initial review meeting with the team
members in Task 3.1A.
The email text should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite,
business-like) style.
(100-150 words)
Template 2 - Email
Email to Project Sponsor
The purpose of this email is to explain a difficult and challenging situation that we are currently
facing. Lately due to the progress of the project and the executing phase at which we currently
are IT has been affecting MMI staff that are also part of the project, making them work longer
hours than usual and, showing signs of distress and affecting not only project team members
due to delays with their work, but also to current MMI staff that have to share tasks with them.
For this reason I have come up with the next suggestions and possible solutions for you to
review and approve at your earliest convenience:
1. I suggest allocating only essential activities from MMI that is not part of the project to
these employees. Rely on co-workers to take their workload and do not affect the
normal performance of the company.
2. Offer free meals and transportation for the co-workers that have to stay longer hours
due to project activities, which can help them feel more supported and motivated.
In addition to this matter there has also been taken in place a performance management for
Amy Pitt, part of the Human Resources department and also member of the project team.She
has being showing signs of distress due to personal issues and lack of motivation in the
workplace.
For this reason resources and support are available for the team members, as well as well as
extra training in Human Resources procedures and problem solving and mentoring from the
Human Resources Manager to help them achieve their goals and objectives within the project.
A review meeting will be happening in the next 15 days to make sure the team member has
been taking into account the feedback received and encourage her to seek doctor’s advice
provided by the company to deal with her personal challenges.
Kind regards

D) Resource conflict
This budget cut will have substantial repercussion on the project and its successful completion.
Consider the impact of such a budget cut on the project and outline a compelling argument to present
to the CFO to convince him not to proceed with the budget cut.
(50-100 words)
Cutting the budget on the project will cause many repercussions to the achievement of its goals:
- The program / project is the program / project - once planning is complete. If there is a
change in scope, then another round of project / cost estimation is required.
- As for Agile delivery (which is designed to be adaptive vice predictive), since the fidelity of
detailed planning increases with time, a budget cut may affect decisions with respect to
which sprints to complete in order to achieve at least partial capability as originally
envisioned.
- Budget cuts doesn’t affect the cost estimation of the project. However it does affect the
scope or quality of the project.
- If the budget is cut then it will come at a price of compromising either the scope or quality.
A) Lessons learned
Assume that you have spent some time reviewing the project HR progress reports and
summarised the following points:
The induction process was not effective. The project team was given long paper-based manual
rich in text. The team members reported that they could only recall 30% of its content
The project team turnover was low
The project team took several months to come together. They were happy with the two team
building activities you organised; however, they wish they had an opportunity to do team
building earlier
The HR plan linked directly to the WBS; however, the project team structure you planned did
not fully optimise the project delivery
Communication between team members could be improved using technology more effectively
Lessons learned were continuously delivered; however, corrective actions were not promptly
applied
The actual team performance was accurately measured and reported
Team members were provided with prompt feedback
Opportunities for professional and personal development were adequate
Additionally, reflect on the scenarios and the work completed in Task 3.1.
1. Complete the lessons learned report (Template 3) based on the project human resource
review highlighting successes and providing inputs for improvements where needed.
8-10 problem/success with positive or negative impact.
Two recommendations for each identified problem.
