u 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

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 the concepts and methodologies in systems engineering and how a project manager might use them. At first reading you might start thinking that this topic is similar to last week “Week 3: Assess the relevance of systems engineering to project cases.” However, if you think about it then you hopefully realise that there are differences. Last week we were thinking about the relevance of systems engineering to BP, whereas this week we’re asking a more broader question about the systems engineering concepts and methodologies to organising a project. So, some of the questions that might immediately spring to your mind are: · What is the difference between a concept and methodology - maybe you’ll need to look this up in a dictionary? You might like to consider the comparison of a taxonomy to an axiom. From this thought what do you think a concept is? Is it a taxonomy or an axiom? Similarly, what is a methodology - taxonomy or an axiom? · Are there specific things we can find in SEBoK that help with defining concepts and methodologies? Are there common ideas in project, program and portfolio management that help? How about the Kerzner text book? Is there anything useful in the Al-Mamary, Shamsuddin, & Aziati article? 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?
