CQUniversity Unit Profile PPMP20012 Program and Portfolio Management Information Systems Term 1 - 2018 General Information Overview The unit introduces systems thinking, systems engineering and systems management principles, concepts, tools and techniques for project, program and portfolio managers (PPPM). Systems thinking offers a powerful perspective to help design clever enduring solutions to meet organisational strategic goals. Through their study of the PPPM process students will learn how to effectively apply systems engineering and systems management to organise complex projects and identify the implementation of systems to create outputs, manage information flow and support effective knowledge management and decision making. Students study how these PPPM application systems may be implemented as a mix of manual processes or electronically (through applications such as Oracle Primavera, SAP ERP, Microsoft Project, or IBM Maximo). Contemporary developments using international standards and knowledge bases as well as modelling and simulation techniques are studied to allow 'what if' questioning to occur in the project, program and portfolio environment. If you have successfully completed unit PPMP20003 you cannot take this unit.

Portfolio Weighting: 35% 2. Written Assessment Weighting: 20% 3. Online Quiz(zes) Weighting: 10% 4. Online Test Weighting: 35% Assessment Grading This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Procedures for more details of interim results and final grades. http://www.cqu.edu.au/current-student/timetabling http://www.cqu.edu.au/current-student/international-students/class-timetables https://www.cqu.edu.au/policy/sharepoint-document-download?file_uri=%7BBE8380F3-F86D-4C55-AC0D-84A81EAFD6A2%7D/Grades%20and%20Results%20Procedure.pdf Previous Student Feedback Feedback, Recommendations and Responses Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made. Feedback from Moodle Feedback Feedback The online quiz should include some information on how to best prepare for it Recommendation Information to be provided to the students regarding the topics that could appear on the quiz. Unit Learning Outcomes On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to: Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager.1. Identify different systems thinking tools and techniques to aid project managers solve project problems.2. Assess the relevance of systems engineering to project cases.3. Describe how systems engineering concepts and methodologies can help a project, program and portfolio4. managers organise a project. Explain the importance of appropriate selection of project management (PM) application systems in regards to5. meeting the internal and external objectives of a project. Describe how the use of project management (PM) application systems can lead to effective PM knowledge6. management and decision making. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of different manual and electronic project, program7. and portfolio (PPPM) application systems within each PPPM knowledge area over the life cycle of a project, program or portfolio. Identify how project, program and portfolio (PPPM) application systems can assist project managers to monitor8. performance and manage changes within a project. Propose appropriate project, program and portfolio (PPPM) application systems to support successful project,9. program and portfolio execution in different industry domains. Discuss contemporary developments in the use of project, program and portfolio (PPPM) application systems.10. The unit contributes to the required number of academic study units for students wishing to undertake profession certification with the Project Management Institute's (PMI) professional qualifications, such as CAPM or PMP.
