The Creative Industries requires graduates to work within a project environment and respond to clients in an ethical, professional and efficient manner.
This unit provides students with the understanding and practical application of the attributes, principles, skills and documentation required in the planning, management, organisation and administration of commercial projects. It continues learning approaches from previous core units, again encouraging the analysis of project management principles through research into exemplar real world projects and applying these to student-generated concepts.

2. Identify and use appropriate tools to develop a project management plan;
