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 8 Week 8: Identify how PM application systems can assist project managers to monitor performance and manage changes within the 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 · PMI (2013) The Standard for Program Management -- Third Edition Chapter 8; · PMI (2013) The Standard for Portfolio Management -- Third Edition Chapter 7; Optional Readings · - 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 provide you with an opportunity to reflect on the impact and life cycle of changes to the project. Project management is about risk and uncertainty management! If there is no uncertainty then there is no need for a project! Because there is always uncertainty with a project then there are almost always occasions when change is required. Change being the process of having to adjust the thing or things that has been planned. So, ask yourself and reflect on: · How do application systems help monitor performance? · How do application systems help manage change? · For fun you might like to reverse those questions above, such as, asking how do applications systems hinder performance monitoring or manage change? In this week’s readings and material, you’ll find answers to these questions. In 2017 the PMI updated both the Program and Portfolio Management Standards. You can either look at the 3rd or 4th editions, or if you’re keen both! The 3rd edition of Program Management chapter 8 discusses the Supporting Processes, whereas the 4th has called it Program Activities – the changes and additions between the two are quite interesting. In the 3rd edition of the Portfolio Management Standard chapter 7 is called Portfolio Communication Management, whereas in the 4th it is called Value Management. Appendix X1 explains the rationale for the changes. 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?
