    1. Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager.
    It has been identified that system engineering played a major role in the oil spill accident that occurred in the BP disaster. The BP catastrophe definitely happened because of the fact of system management failure and the weaker system engineering. Moreover, the before starting the oil and gas prospect, it has been investigated that the catastrophe occurred because the project managers did not have strong plan to lead the project.

    2. Identify different systems thinking tools and techniques to aid project managers solve project problems.
    The system thinking tools were not properly used which caused the disaster to make a huge issue in the Deepwater Horizon. The portfolio managers are responsible to use powerful tools like decision matrix in order to make a strong approach to project work. In failing that, causes a huge problem in project work.

    3. Assess the relevance of systems engineering to project cases.
    In the project case, it has been found that the disaster of Macondo prospect happened only because of the weaker management and system thinking process. Moreover, the system engineering has been observed to be very weak in terms of managing groups and decision making (Fleming et al. 2015).
