1 INTRODUCTION
In this course, we have been provided with the concept and use of project management
methodologies in different organizations, for managing their projects. Success of the project is
mainly associated with contribution of the project head and the project manager. The success of any
project mainly depends on the approach that is undertaken by the organization in managing any
projects. A project management life cycle includes phases such as project initiation, project planning,
project execution, monitoring and the closure. Dividing the entire project in these phases enables
better management of each phase resulting in successful completion of the project (Kerzner &
Kerzner, 2017). It is the responsibility of the project manager to properly govern the different phases
of the project that will ensure its successful completion. The week 1 learning has provided me with
knowledge about the need of identifying the constraint of the project. There are certain negative
factors associated with the execution of the project. Proper identification of the negative aspects of
the project that include time constraint, cost constraint schedule issues are needed in order to
eliminate or reduce the chances of project failure. The use of certain project management tools such
as Gantt charts, checklist, risk registers helps in proper identification of the issues associated with
the project.
Throughout the learning of these 12 weeks, we have gained substantial knowledge about the
different project management processes that helps in completion of a project. The choice of the
project management methodology is therefore a crucial decision for any project. This course has
helped me in understanding the reasons why different organization adopts project management
methodologies. Project management methodologies are generally adopted by a number of
organizations as it helps in easier management of the different projects undertaken by the
organization. In this course we have learnt about the PMP code of ethics that is needed for
enhancing the professional development while working in a project as a manager (Marcelino-Sádaba
et al., 2014). This unit provided with the knowledge about the best practices that the enterprises
should adopt in order to successfully execute a project. In this context, the impact of the project
management methodologies upon the stakeholders is analyzed as well. The stakeholders are an
important part of any project or an organization as they are responsible in successful execution of a
project (Beringer, Jonas & Kock, 2013). There are certain elements of project management
methodology that might meet the needs of an organization. This consolidated portfolio has been
prepared in order to justify the learning outcomes that have been gained while attending this
course. The following paragraphs provide and detailed analysis of the learning outcomes of this unit.
2 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
2.1 Learning Outcome 1:Explain reasons why organisations adopt Project Management
Methodologies
Summary
It was quite interesting to learn about the different project management methodologies and the use of
these project management methodologies in the organization. Different organization adopts the
project management methodologies in order to enhance the process by which a project is implemented
in the organization. The use of project management methodologies helps in successful execution and
there are a number of benefits of making use of project management methodologies in an organization

(Caniëls & Bakens, 2012). The use of project management methodologies in an organization helps in
defining the roles of the human resources in the project. The use of project management
methodologies helps the clarifying the needs of the project so that the project is delivered within the
scheduled time. Therefore it can be said that the project management methodologies help in
identifying the different constraints of the project. The proper and effective implementation of the
project management methodology helps in analyzing the different issues associated with the project.
This is one significant reason that different organizations make use of project management
methodologies in successful execution of a project.
In this unit we have learnt about the different critical success factors that are associated with the
project. Proper project monitoring and project governance helps in successful implementation of a
project as the projects constraints can be easily identified with the successful project implementation.
In this unit, I have understood that the process of project management is mainly associated with the
effective management of the project and therefore, different organizations make use of the project
management methodologies in successful execution of the project (Devi & Reddy, 2012). However,
the organization needs to have a proper idea about the different tools and techniques of proper
management in order to ensure that the project is implemented without any issues or constraints. The
different project management tools include scheduling tool such as Gantt Chart, Risk register for risk
management and so on. These project management tolls helps an organization in efficient
management of the business processes associated with the organization. However, it is the duty of the
project manager to ensure that the project is implemented in a planned approach and there are no
issues associated with the implementation of the project following the approach. Therefore, the use of
different project management methodologies is integral for any organization.
Evidence
This unit has provided with detailed knowledge of the project management methodologies
that an organization implements for successful completion of the project. The learning about
the different project management methodologies is reflected in the portfolios of week 1, 2,
and 4. Previously I have worked in a project that made use of project management
methodology in successful completion of the project. The use of project management
methodology helps an organization in successful completion of the project.
2.2 Learning Outcome 2: Critically analyse the impact of Project Management
Methodologies upon stakeholders
Summary
Stakeholders are an important part if any organization or a project. This is because the stakeholders
are responsible for setting the goal of the project. Stake holders are important as the success of the
project largely depends on the stakeholders. It is therefore essential to keep the project stakeholders
engaged with the project. The implementation success of the project can be achieved only if the
stakeholders of the project are properly managed. Stakeholders include senior management of the
organization or the people who are providing resources for the project. The stakeholders of the project
are important as they are putting their money on the project. The stakeholders of the project are
largely affected by the results of the project since their resources are associated with the project
(Doloi, 2012). The stakeholders are often critical about the project success and therefore it is essential

to keep the stakeholders of a project managed. Active involvement of the stakeholders in a project
might result in the successful execution of the project. The active involvement of the stakeholders is
critical in defining, designing and producing the deliverables of the project.
The stakeholders, who are often the customers of the project will expect their work to be completed in
a scheduled time. The choice of project management methodologies ensure that the project is
implemented in a scheduled time. Therefore, it can be said that the choice of project management
methodology has a huge impact on the success of a project (Dybå, Dingsøyr & Moe, 2014).
Furthermore, the engagement of the stakeholders with a project is quite essential as it builds support
and enthusiasm in the work processes of the project. The choice of the project management
methodology ensures that the project is governed and regularly tracked so that there are no chances of
project failure. This unit has helped in gaining a detailed understanding of the impact of a chosen
project management methodology on the stakeholders involved with the project. Stakeholder
management is an important part of the project as it helps in setting up a realistic project goal. This is
mainly because the stakeholders of a project are responsible for determining the project goal.
Evidence
In this unit, I have gained a substantial knowledge about the stakeholders of the project which
is reflected in the portfolio of week 2. While working on a project, I have understood the
importance of project stakeholders and their contribution in ensuring the success of the
project. The need of keeping the stakeholders managed throughout the implementation phase
of the project is vital as the stakeholders are providing the resources for successful project
execution. The knowledge about the stakeholders that I have gained in this unit is reflected in
the portfolio of week 7 as well. The choice of project management methodology has a huge
impact on the stakeholders of the project as the project stakeholders provide the necessary
resources needed for successful project execution.
2.3 Learning outcome 3: Explain and justify the major elements of a Project
Management Methodology that might meet the needs of an organisation
Summary
There are certain elements of the project management methodology that an organization need in order
to successfully execute the project. The choice of the project management methodology is integral for
success of a project as it will ensure that the project will be successfully executed. There are different
elements of project management methodology that an organization needs, which include, proper
planning of the project deliverables, Identification of the scope of the project, proper evaluation of the
time and schedule that the project will need to be delivered along with the associated project
constraints. The constraints of the project include the cost constraint, schedule issue, resource
constraint and risks associated with the project (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). These elements of
project management methodology help an organization in understanding the goals of the project. The
importance of the project management methodologies and the different elements of the project
management methodology are significant for an organization as the main purpose of an organization
is to ensure that the project is implemented according to the goals of the project (Heagney, 2016).
Project scheduling is an important tool or element of project management that is essential for
successful execution and completion of the project. This is one of the major elements of project
management methodology that an organization needs in order to successfully execute a project. Apart

from project scheduling, proper resource allocation is an important element of project management
methodology. The stakeholders of the project are an important part of a project (Kerzner, 2017). The
stakeholders of the project are essential as they are responsible for allocating the resources of the
project. The resource allocation is an essential part of the project as the success of the project largely
depends on correct allocation of the resources of the project.
Evidence
The knowledge about the different elements of the project management methodologies is
reflected in the portfolio of week 9 and week 10. Previously while working in a project, I
have gained a knowledge about the major elements of a project management methodologies
mainly the need of project scheduling and the resource allocation in successful project
execution.
3 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Throughout 12 weeks of learning about project management methodologies, I have
understood the fundamental knowledge about the need of different project management
methodologies in successful execution of a project. The choice of the project management
methodology plays a significant role in determining the success of a project. The need of
project management methodology is integral in an organization or a project as the choice of
the project management methodology helps in successful execution of the project. In this
consolidated portfolio the learning outcomes that is realized while attending this unit is
drafted. The 12 weeks’ learning has provided with a knowledge of project management
methodology, the role of project stakeholders in a project and the elements of the different
project methodologies. One of the important elements of project management methodology is
project planning as it helps in aligning the project objectives with the identified goals of the
project. The requirements of the project are needed to be identified so that the proper project
management methodology can be chosen. The choice of the project management
methodology is integral for a project as it makes the process of project execution simple and
effective.

Feasibility of the project is mainly
analysed by cost benefit along with
strategic need. It is the duty of project
manager to analyse the present state of
the organization and depending on it
proper kind of blueprint must be
provided. Project manager and his team
members should access the present
state of the organization, followed by
future state. They should prepare a
proper kind of project plan. After that
they should conduct feasibility study
along with cost benefit analysis.
Feasibility analysis mainly help in
checking the fact that whether the
project will have completed in time or
not. While cost benefit analysis will help
analysing the fact the project will
provide financial benefits or not.
