Problem definition, evidence-based literature searching, applied research, reflective practice and effective communication of solutions through reporting are essential attributes of the modern project manager. This unit enables you to plan and execute an independent and applied research project addressing a relevant real-world problem in a related project management discipline area and effectively communicate processes and solutions. It provides an opportunity to individualise your studies by concentrating on a specific problem and build on the applied, evidence-based research skills and knowledge you have gained in PMQ603 Project Investigation 1.
