Problems that confront Project Managers are ill-defined and complex. Problem identification, evidence-based literature searching, research design and planning, and effective communication through reports and presentations are essential attributes of the modern project manager. This unit provides you with the knowledge of applied and evidence-based methods to critically appraise and solve discipline-specific real-world problems and effectively communicate processes and solutions verbally and in writing. This unit will also assist you in the development of clearly defined questions and techniques to plan and execute an applied project of your own design in PMQ606 Project Investigation 2.
