Assessment Activity 2: Develop, Implement and Review a PD project
You are required to take part in a simulation associated with Coffee House. For the background to the project, please refer to the document titled Business Case. The duration of the project is anticipated to cover a four-week period.
In this simulation, you will take the role of a project officer for Coffee House.

• write killer resumes
• job landing cover letters

However, to do this will require you allocating tasks to the team members to produce the deliverables.
