Reading samples Learning outcomes of the unit Learnings from your weekly study, experience, this and prior unit readings and assignments Supporting documentation including any prior learning Mandatory Readings · Part 1: SEBoK Introduction - 'Introduction to SE Transformation'; · Part 1: SEBoK Introduction - 'SEBoK Users and Uses'; · Part 6: Related Disciplines - 'Knowledge Area: Systems Engineering and Project Management' · Kerzner (2013) Chapters 2.1; 2.6 - 2.8; 2.21; · AS/NZS 15288:2015 Introduction; Optional Readings · AS ISO 21504:2016 Project, programme and portfolio management—Guidance on portfolio management; Case Study · Chief Counsel's Report - Chapter 5 (PDF 700KB), 1. Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager. The objective of this week’s topic is to ask questions about how systems thinking can be implemented. To achieve this we need to have a good understanding of: · What systems thinking is and what it is trying to achieve. You might want to review back to last week’s readings and material; · Secondly what tools and techniques can be used to make systems thinking work? In fact this is the purpose of systems engineering, which is a comprehensive way of implementing systems thinking; · How with systems thinking and systems engineering project managers might solve problems? · The conventional project management thinking says that Project, Program and Portfolio management is a solution to solving project problems. But is it really? · Think of the problems that BP have faced with The Deepwater Horizon and Texas City disasters. Did systems thinking and systems engineering help them? · How about the Chief Counsel’s Report? Does it show that BP had a good idea about systems thinking? In this portfolio please reflect on the readings (1st column) and the learning outcome (2nd column). Ask yourself in what way does the readings provide insights into the learning outcome? Maybe they don’t! What are your thoughts? Are there other insights that you can make from other units that you have studied? Or your work and life experience?
