Assignment Details:
Design of Project Delivery System influences the success or failure of the implementation phase of
projects and programs. It is not just about selecting a contact model; it provides a framework for
procurement of goods and services needed to implement the project. The portfolio is based on the
delivery system of the “Case project”, where students use real-life project as the vehicle for learning
and developing their competencies in this unit of study. The case project should be selected by
students in their field of interest.

Figure 1: Generic approach to design of an optimum project delivery system
In this unit of study the scope comprises the following activities within the context of the assigned
case project:
1. A systematic review of all commonly known project/program delivery systems (literature
review).
2. Select a methodology, process and approach that can help your team achieve the end
results.
3. Identify data sources needed and how that can be obtained.
4. Outline the assumptions and constraints (items 2 to 4 form your team's Initiation Plan).
5. Apply the Initiation Plan and follow the project delivery methodology in Figure 1.
6. Compile and present your draft project delivery system.
7. Evaluate your project delivery system against the client brief and find out where there is
misalignment and what needs to happen to address that misalignment.
8. Simultaneously consider the feedback you received from your academic supervisors and
others (e.g. from the real life project team).
9. Revise your project delivery system.
10. Consolidate all the work done and compile your Team's PDS Report on the Case Project.
11. Submit your PDS Report and prepare your presentation slides.
