Best practice project management includes risk mitigation strategies, but doesn't always predict the challenges the project teams will face in achieving project objectives. Nor do the client objectives remain static for the term of the project. Rebecca and Vicki will discuss how they scoped (and rescoped) the project, what went well (and to plan), and the aspects that were more challenging (i.e. timelines and budget impacted by 'business as usual', as well as unforeseen events). Strategies for developing strong relationships with client stakeholders based in Perth, and for building the reputation of the University's expertise in client engagement and partnership will be covered. The project and tool development methodology and initial data analysis results will also be presented. Members from the Griffith research team will be in attendance too.
