1 INTRODUCTION

Various topics of project management has been assessed with the help of a number of portfolios for
the given assignment. A consolidated portfolio was created from 10 weekly portfolios and their
respective learning outcomes are assessed and evaluated. A summary and evidence section has
been proposed for every learning outcome. The justification for choosing the PPPM applications
has been assessed and evaluated.
2 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcome 1: Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of
different manual and electronic project, program and portfolio (PPPM) application
systems within each PPPM knowledge area over the life cycle of a project, program
or portfolio
Summary
In this assignment, I leant about PPPM application systems, different electronic and manual systems.
The main aim of every PPPM applications is to break down the difficult task into a number of easy
task so that the goal becomes achievable. I understand that the skill which is learned from this
experience is to gain the potential to manage a project and check it that the project gets to
completion. The advantages of the different systems over the span of the project includes the
inventory. The PPPM applications help to pinpoint where the resources are exactly. As the entire
process is fragmented, the applications help to provide a greater picture. This helps in the early
stages of the planning also learnt about the involvement factor. The manual and electronic projects
as well as the PPPM application helps to ensure that the project becomes successful. It also helped
me to understand the easy visibility of the performance issues in the project. I also came across
several disadvantages though. Resources can act as an advantage but it can also act as a
disadvantage in certain scenarios. I guess if a wrong person is made the head in charge of the
resources, it can lead to a lot of complexity in the project. Moreover, the prioritization of every
project needs to be checked so that the different elements of the entire portfolio are met. If there
are a number of projects going on, I can assume that it can lead to the wastage of resources in
organizing the labour and the operational costs of hiring them.
Evidence
I was recently involved in a field trip to assess the construction of a bridge. I learnt about the
different project management systems and how they are checked to assess the system. It gave me
an idea about throw different systems are applied in different domains of project management.
Learning Outcome 2: Identify how project, program and portfolio (PPPM)
application systems can assist project managers to monitor performance and
manage changes within a project.

Summary
I decided to research a little but further about the PPPM applications and how they can provide the
managers an advantage in gaining a project success. I understood that the PPPM applications not
only runs the project but it also helps the project managers in choosing what types of executable
projects need to be chosen and how the funding need to be initiated. I learnt that it helps the
mangers in choosing the potential of every project and assess if they can support the goals and
objectives of the industry. This is how the managers eliminates the projects if they do not meet the
required criteria. To assess the performance and changes of the project, the contingencies and
interconnections of the project are assessed with the help of PPPM applications. As per my
understanding, the PPPM applications help the project manager to monitor the motion of the
project. The assessment helped me to understand how the monitoring of the portfolios of the
project are conducted and how they affect the projects which are in the portfolio.
Evidence
I was recently got involved with a press conference about project, program and portfolio application
systems. The conference helped me to assess the role of a project manager in a project and how
they can enhance their capabilities with the help of project, program and portfolio application
systems.
Learning outcome 3: Propose appropriate project, program and portfolio
(PPPM) application systems to support successful project, program and portfolio
execution in different industry domains.
Summary
This assignment helped me to learn about the different PPPM application system in a project related
to different domain of industry. The formal approach of the industries in prioritizing and
orchestration for the overall success of the project was understood by me. It helped me to
understand the different PPPM applications and selection methods. This assignment helped me to
understand the importance of PPPM applications in determining how the funds in a project need to
be utilized for properly returning the investment of the project. As an input to the selection process
of the project, the time value of money sometimes steers the project selection. It helped me to
assess how the future and present value of a project are determined and how different assumptions
are made. It helped me to learn about future value, interest rates and budget determination of a
project. The formulas of the present value helped me to assume the future value of the project.
With the help of different PPPM applications, I also learnt about how to determine the net present
value of the project. The financial based decisions overally determined the project selection
methods along with the PPPM applications.
Evidence
I recently learned about the organisational maturity levels and various PPPM applications from the
courses form our university. The assessment helped me to analyse different application systems
which helped me a lot in completing this assignment. I also learned the role of a project manager
from this assessment.

Learning outcome 4: Discuss contemporary developments in the use of project,
program and portfolio (PPPM) application systems.
Summary
In this assessment, I learned about the various developments that have happened in the PPPM
application systems. The longevity of the project is managed by the PPPM applications. The various
developments in the mentioned topic has been assessed in a PPPM research program. It included
about 400 organizations including non-governmental organizations and governmental agencies. A
general report, IT report, construction industry report and organizational change report were
developed which helped in assessing the various developments of the application systems.
Evidence
A survey related to information technology showed good results of a project to completion. It
constituted about 60 organization and several mini projects which were broken down for efficiency.
The use of PPPM applications were assessed.
3 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
To conclude the report, it can be stated that four learning outcomes from the provided weekly
portfolios has been evaluated conclusively in the given assignment. The outcomes have been
evaluated according to their criteria and a small summary has been provided. The needs of a PPPM
application system for the success of a project has been discussed and evaluated.

Before understanding the concept of the project management, it is
essential to understand what exactly a project is. Any project can be
simply considered as a series of different activities as well as tasks
that have some specific objectives. There are mainly five different
process groups which can be considered and identified in the
PMBOK Guide. These five different process groups are the project
initiation, project planning, project execution, project monitoring
and control and project closure

Challenges that have been faced by the organisation because of
inappropriate selection of project manager were:
 No clear definition of project success criteria or the specified
objectives
 Lack of planning results in delayed project delivery by using
more than specified resources
As per the information provided under these chapters, I come to
know about how to manage the resources in order to deliver the
project to the client which is fully designed and developed as per
the specifications of the client.

There are several contemporary developments in the use of project, program
and portfolio (PPPM) application systems. The intent is to use the Standard to
improve project portfolio management capability and practice in organisations,
which in turn promotes efficient resource use and more profitable project
outcomes. The use of the PPM portfolio has been maintaining the importance of
project management strategies in the operations in the organization.

61. Relevance of
systems thinking to
the project,
program and
portfolio manager.
In this week, I have learnt about various system thinking requirements that are
to be followed by the project, program and portfolio manager. I understood that
simply installing specific software is not sufficient. The project, program and
portfolio managers need to undertake several project management procedures
like auditing, documentation, quality check and others.
