interrelationship of the granularity. The report will discuss about the system thinking, portfolio
and the different techniques that aids to the processing of the project management. This report
will deal with the processing of the relevance of the portfolio and the project management. This
report will deal with the importance of the appropriate selection of the project management. This
report will also discuss the project management application. The disadvantage and the advantage
of the different manual and electronic project are also discussed n this report. This report will
also discuss about the contemporary developments. The detailing will ensure the fact that the
portfolio will ensure the functioning of the schedule making.
Lecture 1
Learning Outcome
System Thinking works on the functional basis is completely dependent on the
framework, which are concerned with the interrelationship with the project granules and the
processing of the initialization of the project. This ensures the fact that the process dwells with
the fact that the initiation of the process. This process is concerned with the elaboration of the
snapshot. This includes the fact that the elaboration of the project spanning will include the
processing of the diversified physical spanning. This will ensure the fact that the data provides
the spanning snapshot. The complex project needs the functionality of both the technical
prodigies as well as the managerial leaders who will be able to take in charge of the processing f
the organization. This fact also ensures the fact that the functioning of the organization is

interlinked and the processing performed with the help of the interlinked port folio. The fact that
the port folio is interlinked will mark the factor that the procession will get optimized to the fact
tor that will ensure that the risk management is maintained to the least of terminologies. Due to
the usage of this phenomenal terminology the procession of the return of investment has been
increasing ever since. This fact of increase in the ratio of the return of investment has reached the
height of 7:1 in comparison to the processing before the introduction of the System thinking.
Evidence
Since the advancement of the system thinking the planning of the entire process gets
better and the processing of the port folio management gets easier. This also leads to the fact that
there is an increase in the number of stakeholders. This also takes in account the fact that the
engagement between the stakeholders has been improving.
Lecture 2
Learning outcome
The major system thinking tools that are in use for aiding the problem solving procedure
are as follows: -
 Affinity diagram-the main aspect of the affinity diagram is that it ensures the fact that the
project is initiated with the processing of the understanding of the terminologies that will
be required for the completion of the processing of the project. This enables the fact that
the data once understood before processing enables the fact that the functioning during th
performing of the project will get easier and more distinct.

initiation. This assures that the initiation will be at a better state and the projection is m ore
efficient as the initiation of the project marks more customization.
Evidence
Project case mainly takes into account the fact that the data that are necessary for the
processing of the project is more efficient. This fact is very consoling that the efficiency is
managed in the processing of the usurping of the process that enables the fact that the project
case mainly deals with.
Lecture 4
Learning Outcome
System engineering deals with the disciplinary process that is used for accessing the
methodology for the purpose of model processing of the system. This includes the fact that the
data that are used for the processing of the model has been acting as one of the most efficient
process. this will ensure the fact that the efficiency is maintained. The methodological realization
includes the factor that terminologies that are required for the processing of the project
progression are initially defined which caused to the fact that the pre planning of the project. this
ensures the fact that the process is functioned with a proper efficiency. The port folio managers
uses this technology to ensure the fact that the system engineering profound aspect is used. This
process of procuring the proper investment in the organization adds more efficiency to the
organization. This terminology ensures the fact that the investment is done in a proper way.
Hence the procedural methodology helps in procuring the fund investment of the organization.

organization is that reference structure of the port folio. This ensures that the project
programming of the organization. This causes to the fact that the efficiency of the investment of
the organization.
Lecture 5
Learning Outcome
The major importance of the selection of the project manager who is related to the project
management focuses on the processing of the applying the terminologies that will ensure the fact
that will satisfy the internal and the external objectives of the project that is being performed by
the organization. This methodology comprises the fact that the performing of the organization is
concerned with the functioning of both the processing of the internal and the external objectives
of a company. this process makes sure that the success of an organization is completely
dependent on the efficient functioning of both the internal and the external aspects of the
organization. the internal aspect consists of the processing that will ensure the processing of the
organization that is dependent on the manufacturing unit of the organization. the internal aspect
includes the employee of the organization as well as the other counter parts of the organization
who are directly related to the processing if the manufacturing of the products. This process also
constitutes the members who are indirectly connected to the processing of the products. The
external members comprises of the members who are directly associated worth the purchasing of
the products and the stakeholders who are directly related with the marketing of the product.

Evidence
The major evidence is the success of the organizations who try to maintain the pace by
satisfying the internal as well as the external clients of the organization.
Lecture 6
Learning Outcome
Project management has been acting as the process that ensures the fact that the process
of managing an entire project starts off with proper processing of the project. This ensures the
fact that the data of the project is accessible with the processing of the initial of the process.
Project management is a kind of functional tool that helps in plotting the entire project before
starting the project which helps in pre planning of the project. This process helps in the
managing of the days that the employees will require to cover up the entire working process.
This process if project management also helps in the estimation of covering up f the entire
process with the least cost. Project management requires expert project managers to create the
project planning. Project management is basically a pre planning tool before starting the project.
this process ensures the fact that the data that are collected after the processing of the project
management are reliable and trust worthy for the completion of the project. This fact takes into
account that the huddles that were coming towards the processing of the project can be limited
with proper planning and decision making. This tool helps in decision making.
Evidence
Since the introduction of the project management tool in the organizations, there has been
the least wastage of the resources and the problems that the organizations would have faced are
minimized.

Lecture 7
Learning Outcome
Electronic port folio is the newest technology that is being put into use for the
performance of the marketing of the project ensures the fact that the data that the organization
wants the mass to know is distributed in a very high scale. This fact takes into account that the
marketing of the product that the organization wants to promote are easily promoted. This
ensures the fact that the data is circulated with ease. The major advantage of this process is that
the data that is collected through this method are achievable with ease and are readily available
on every topic. The major disadvantage is that the data that are gathered are not very viable and
robust in nature. Manual port folio deals with the process that uses the methodology to gather
information not via the social and the electronic media. This ensures the fact that the data that is
collected is with the help of the surveys that are taken and the tests that are performed to gain
knowledge about a particular topic. The major advantage of this method is that the data that are
collec6ted are very viable and robust in nature and the major disadvantage f this method is that
this method is very time consuming and the effort that is requires us very high compared to the
electronic port folio method.
Evidence
The major evidence is that the usage of this process ensures the fact that the data that is
collected is useful for the processing of the organization and the organization that has been using
this technology has been comparatively more successful than the organizations not using this
methods.

Lecture 8
Learning Outcome
The documentation of the organization is basically dependent on the size of the business
process it supports. The major task of the project, program and portfolio (PPPM) application is to
collect that data and compare the same with the processing of the data’s that will e collected in
the proceeding of the project. this process is completely data oriented. The data that is collected
during the processing f the project deals with the fact that the data are compared with the
processing of the data that are collected later during the processing of the project. this
comparison helps inn understanding the process developments. This data that are collected in
different phases of the project proceeding helps in understanding the process transmission, which
again helps in understanding the positive aspects of the process. This method also helps the
organization authority to understand the negative aspect of the process transcription. This
process ensures that the data that are collected are done with proper experience of conducting the
process. This ensures the fact that the department that checks the operation of the organization
and the quality of the production is maintained.
Evidence
The major evidence is that the processing gets more efficient and the flaws that are
distinctive in nature are visible to the operational manager.

Lecture 9
Learning Outcome
The major application of the contemporary development is that the organization that
deploys the contemporary developments in the project, program and portfolio (PPPM)
application systems actuates the processing of the pre planning before proceeding the project. pre
planning of the project ensures the fact that the data that are collected after the pre planning of
the project are bothered with the processing of the activities that will ensure the fact that the data
that are collected are used for the pre planning of the projection. This fact helps in the decision
making. Decision making of the project gets easier once the project is already pre planned and
the project is performed with ease. This ensures the fact that the project will stay protected from
the huddles. Pre planning of the project helps in restricting the wastage of the resources during
the completion of the project.
Evidence
The major evidence is that the organizations that deploy the contemporary development
strategies are far more successful and more efficiently functioning than the others are.
Discussion and Conclusion
The use of the likes of system engineering and the process of portfolio managing with the
help of the documentation of the organization and pre planning for the activities that are
performed. This ensures the fact that the decision making of the process gets better.
From the above discussion it can be concluded that the use of this kind of extravagant
technologies to support the tool of project management has been acting very beneficial for the
