Stakeholders of the project

The project of Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness is developed for forming a project plan for deploying awareness among people about the language and culture of the people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait. The deployment of the improved project operations would be helpful for forming the management of the project activities. The project comprises of six work packages namely analysis phase, documentation phase, planning phase, execution phase, approval, and project closure. The analysis phase would comprise of the project requirement analysis, feasibility study, training program requirement analysis, sustainability planning, and training program analysis. The documentation phase comprises of development of initiation documents, project charter documentation, manual reports are documented, and final reports are made. The planning phase comprises of outlining the plan and complete plan is made. The execution phase comprises of database is developed, database integration, program outline, training program is made, and training is given. The approval consists of project plan approval and program approval. The project closure consists of final documents are submitted, reviewed and signed off, and project is closed.

The project of the Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness is helpful for the management of the improved facilities for creating awareness regarding the language, culture, and trends of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island. However, the use of the integrated database and SDLC application development life cycle would allow the formation of the singular interface. The use of the past records would allow the formation of the improved cross development factor. The formation of the proper developed system integration would allow the management of the profound operations. The project of Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness is budgeted to complete in $50,000.00 and can be completed in 4 months of duration.

Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness

Failure of training program The failure of the training program is a technical issue that have risen due to the incomplete integration and wrong alignment of the activities Possible Severe Avoid Review of the training program should be followed

WBS Dictionary

Shortage of resources and required materials The shortage of the project resources is largely induced due to the lack of appropriate materials or over exhaustion of the resources Likely Moderate Transfer Contingency budget allocation should be done

Delay in development The project can be delayed due to either small issues or huge complexities. The project activities might consume more time than expected Almost Certain Negligible Accept Surrogacy schedule plan should be implied for the project

Program Incompatibility The training program is deployed for the improvement of the facilities of the technology and formation of the effective communication. However, the training program might face issues in developing the project outcome. Unlikely Major Transfer Testing of the program should be done for ensuring the compactness of the project

Competition among project team members The team members might compete with each other for overshadowing the other members. Possible Minor Exploit Should be used for getting improved productivity of the project deliverable

The project tolerances are the factors of the project that can form the increment or decrement of the project integration and analysis. The project tolerances are employed for the formation of the improved system development and operation. The alignment of the improved project operations would help in forming the overall performance increment or decrement of the effective project operations. The analysis would be based on the time and cost tolerance factor for the project of Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness.

The most common factor for the analysis of the tolerance level of the project is implied for the forming the project of Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness. The project can be completed in 4 months of duration.

Tolerance specified for cost

The project of Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness is budgeted to complete in $50,000.00 and the operations would include the provisional budget of $5,000.00

Previous lessons learned Proposed action to address 

The first lesson involved an ‘off-the-shelf’ online training program which failed to properly interface with the universities learning system.  

The project of the Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness is helpful for the management of the improved facilities. However, the use of the integrated database and SDLC application development life cycle would allow the formation of the singular interface

The second lesson involved the use of a generic cross cultural training package which failed to properly address the nuances which exists between different indigenous groups located in various geographical areas.

The use of the past records would allow the formation of the improved cross development factor. The formation of the proper developed system integration would allow the management of the profound operations.

The undersigned acknowledge that they have reviewed the Training Program Development for Indigenous Culture Awareness Assessment Task 2 and agree with the information presented within this document.

Organisation: [Consider who would have the authority to approve the start of this project?]
