DGN2303 · Professional documentation for design

Overview

This unit develops your capacity to understand the expectations of professional documentation in your specialisation area. Through collaboration and critique, you will examine a practice precedent from your field. Using this precedent, you will investigate and determine the project stakeholders and understand their respective contributions. You will prepare a project return brief, design a project plan and prepare a strategy presentation for the various stakeholders. Working in partnership with your peers you will learn and apply skills in negotiation, teamwork, written and verbal communication and project management.
