ou will be provided on the Moodle web site with a portfolio template. You should use this template and upload a weekly portfolio to the Moodle web site.
This assessment item involves researching the topics to enhance your understanding of each concept through an utilisation of academic literature and secondary sources. Whilst you must use the recommended textbooks and web links, you should also refer to other sources on the Moodle web site and additional relevant peer reviewed academic journal articles of your choosing

(Insert Student Name) / (Insert Student Number) - PPMP20012 Unit Portfolio for Week 7 Week 7: Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of different manual and electronic PM application systems within each PM knowledge area over the life cycle of a project. 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 · SEBoK Part 4: Applications of Systems Engineering; · AS/NZS 15288:2015 Annex F & G Optional Readings · AS ISO 21504:2016 · BP News Wrap-up Web Sites · - 1. Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager. The objective of this week’s topic is to encourage you to ask yourself questions about the veracity of electronic computer systems against the applicability and stickability of manual (i.e. paper, but not only paper) systems. Previously you have seen and heard from the likes of Oracle, SAP, IBM and Microsoft. If you believe them then you will be convinced that all you need to do is invest in their software and life is good! Does that then mean that you can dispense with a diary or note book? What about work instructions, job packs, safety checklists, hand written notes and diagrams? How about the taking photos at work of equipment or the environment? Will the computer system do that for you? Is the use of electronic computer systems equal for all people across all projects? Is it the same in engineering, mining, manufacturing, healthcare, IT, in the city, in the country, at sea, in the air? Is there a need to use electronic or manual systems at different phases of the life cycle, such as initiation, planning , execution, closing, reporting to the project board, holding meetings with clients, So, ask yourself and reflect on: · How comprehensive are the application systems? · Are there times when human beings need to read and write on paper? · Does this change as the project or project environment changes? In this week’s readings and material, you’ll find answers to these questions. The SEBoK reading is particularly useful and describes five different applications of systems engineering. 15288 is quite interesting with the descriptions of various models. Does modelling help or confuse? Who would benefit from a model? 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?
