In the role of Marketing Coordinator of a fictitious company, you will review a case study, meet with the
Operations Manager to discuss the required project and develop a project scope document and project
management plan. This assessment is to be completed in the simulated work environment in the RTO.
Currently the business is selling its products through a number of small supermarkets and health stores
throughout Australia. The company also has a very basic website that includes four pages: home, about us,
products and contact details.
The company’s overall business objectives for the next three years are to increase sales and create brand
awareness, develop a broader product range, as well as expand into overseas markets, most likely Hong
Kong, Japan and Singapore.
The company’s target customers are those that enjoy gourmet foods.
The age range of Australian consumers buying products is between 35 and 65.
Most consumers are health conscious, care about protecting the environment and have an average annual
income of $80,000.

Coordinator, Customer Service Officer and two administration staff.
Ten staff are employed in the factory making and distributing the products.
As the Marketing Coordinator, you have been asked by the Operations Manager to coordinate a project to
develop a new website. The Operations Manager is ultimately responsible for the management of the
project but has assigned significant responsibility to you. The new website is seen as a critical part of the
company’s expansion strategy, and the Operations Manager has advised that you will need to develop a
project scoping for the website to present to senior management, as well a project management plan.
The Operations Manager has also advised you that the new website is classified as a Medium Project. The
project team is to consist of yourself, the Customer Service Officer who has been assigned to assist you
with this project, and the Operations Manager.
The Operations Manager has advised that the website is to include a shopping cart, so customers can order
products directly through the website. He would also like customers to be able to access recipes and
general information about the health benefits of bush spices.
The company has long wanted to commission a new logo, and it has been decided to do this now, in
conjunction with the new website. The Native Bush Spices marketing team will then use the logo across all
of the company’s communication. It has been allotted a budget separately from the website, but it is
understood that the company that designs the website will also design the new logo too.
The company has established procedures for project management. These are documented in their
documented in the Project Management Policy and Procedures.

Task summary
This assessment task requires the student to finalise the Native Bush Spices Australia website development
project by developing a project evaluation report.
The estimated cost for the logo was doubled because the first designer employed was unable to develop a
logo to the company’s liking and so a new logo designer was contracted. This therefore doubled the costs
as the first designer, as well as the second designer needed to be paid.
Training will be required in web site maintenance to ensure information is regularly updated e.g. the
newsletter. Training should ideally be provided to the administration staff.
All of the documents you have submitted for this unit’s assessment tasks should be correctly named and
filed.
You will be assessed on whether you have set up the folders and created documents as per the project
management policy and procedure requirements.
The screen shot should show all the folders and documents.
It should introduce and summarise the contents of the attachment and sign off for the project now that it is
concluded.
Attach your Project Evaluation Report and screen shot to the email.
