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
*** PORTFOLIO SHOULD BE WRITTEN BASED ON THE RESOURCES THAT IS WRITTEN BELOW ; THESE RESOURCES ARE MANDATORY AND NOT USING THESE RESOURCES WILL RESULT 0 IN ITS GRADE ***
- Sterman J. (2000) Chapters 1 & 2
- Sterman presents Business Dynamics to us on this course. There are tools that allow models to be built and there are new sources being introduced all the time around systems thinking/engineering, and Systems and Business Dynamics modelling on the Internet. An example you might like to review to gain a hands on experience with Systems and Business Dynamics is:-
- Insight Maker -https://insightmaker.com/
- Insight Maker contains a number of very interesting project management models. Click on the menu option 'Find Insights' and type 'project management' into the search criteria.
- "Project management 104" by Geoff McDonnell is a model that works without any complicated settingshttps://insightmaker.com/insight/361
(Insert Student Name) / (Insert Student Number) - PPMP20012 Unit Portfolio for Week 10 and 11 Week 10 and 11: Discuss contemporary developments in the use of PM application systems. 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 · Sterman Chapters 1, 2, 13 and 15; · Insight Maker Optional Readings · INCOSE Web Sites · - 1. Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager. Finally, we come to the last of the formal portfolio templates. After this template you will start putting together your consolidated portfolio. However, please bear in mind that there is some additional material next week that you should reflect on in the Consolidated Portfolio. Don’t fail to reflect on it in your Consolidated Portfolio since they are included in the marking criteria. It’s just that once you’ve uploaded this 10th portfolio in the 11th week there is not much chance of providing further discussion in the tutorials. Also, by now you should have got the idea about the portfolios and so don’t really need a template! The topic for both week 10 and 11 is the same and concerns where and what is happening with project management application systems to make them really useful. In this unit we started with looking at BP and the tragic disasters they have had at Texas City and Deepwater Horizon. We then spent the past ten weeks considering aspects of project management applications and how they might help project, program and portfolio management. The key objective is to be able to provide visibility and accuracy into what’s happening in an organisation so that quick decisions can be made. The consequence is that an organisation such as BP will be able to take alternate actions and avoid Texas City and Deepwater incidents! However, hopefully your reflections and investigations have also revealed that this is a lot easier to say and write than to do in real life! The material from both the Sterman book and the InsightMaker web site show how models can be developed to allow analysis of possible scenarios. Imagine that there is a connection between those models and the data that is being collected in the real world. Then scenario analysis could be performed to provide the possibilities of different outcomes. Would that be useful to BP? What would be required to ensure that the models are an accurate reflection of the real world? What commitment would be required by people to make this happen? 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?
