1 INTRODUCTION
Project management refers to the process of application of different processes, knowledge and skills for achieving the objectives of a project.
The concept of project management helps in easier implementation and management of any project. Project management further ensures that a
project is successfully delivered to the client and therefore, the choice of project management methodology differs in different organizations.
Since a project management methodology helps in easier implementation of a project, it is a significant reason why the different organizations
use and adopt the project management methodologies (Kerzner, 2017). The learning of these ten weeks, the tutorials and the lecture notes
provided a broad understanding about the different project management methodologies, the impact of the chosen methodology upon the project
stakeholders and the major elements associated with the use of a project management methodology in an organization. The success of a project
management approach or project methodology largely depends on the appropriate governance of the project and the project manager plays a very
significant role in ensuring project success (Heagney, 2016). This consolidated portfolio reflects on the extent to which the learning outcomes of
this course are fulfilled. The detailed learning experience in discussed in the following paragraphs.
2 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
2.1 Learning Outcome 1: Explain reasons why organisations adopt Project Management Methodologies
Summary
In the first week of the course, we have been provided with the idea of the project management and the reason why organizations adopt the different project
management methodologies. It was quite interesting of learn the reason why the different organizations irrespective of the size of the project adopt different
project management methodologies for successful execution of the project. With this course, I have understood that there are a number of benefits of making
use of project management methodologies in organizations (Caniëls & Bakens, 2012). The use of the project management methodologies helps in effective
planning and control of the different projects of the organizations
With this course, I have understood the importance of the project planning. Since a proper project management methodology helps in proper project planning,
the different organizations adopt project management methodologies. With this course, I have understood that the use of project management methodology
not only ensures proper project planning, it helps in overcoming the different challenges faced by the project (Devi& Reddy, 2012). I have got a clear idea of
the different reasons why the organizations adopt project management methodology in the organization.

Evidence
Previously I have worked as an intern in a software manufacturing company where I have closely followed the use of agile project methodology
in the organizations. In agile project methodology, testing in every project phase is very important (Dybå, Dingsøyr & Moe, 2014). Furthermore,
while attending this course, I have gained a theoretical knowledge about the need of project management methodologies in different
organizations. The theoretical knowledge that I gained about the organizational project management methodologies is reflected in portfolio of
week 1 and week2.
2.2 Learning Outcome 2: Critically analyse the impact of Project Management Methodologies upon stakeholders
Summary
On gaining a knowledge about the concept of project management and projects, I have understood that the project stakeholders are a significant
part of any project. Therefore the choice of the project management methodology has a great impact on the stakeholders of the project (Beringer,
Jonas & Kock, 2013). The stakeholders are an important part of the project and there it is essential to keep them informed about the progress of
the project. A project management methodology ensures that a proper communication plan is made for the project that helps in easier
propagation of the information and the project progress reports to the stakeholders. I have understood that the project management methodology
plays an integral role in proper project planning and execution of the project (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). The management of the stakeholders is
an important part of project methodology and therefore, it is obvious that project management methodology will have a huge impact of the
stakeholders of the project.
Since proper management of the project is a challenging task, the involvement of the project stakeholders in choice of the project methodology is
obvious (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016). We have analysed the role of the stakeholders in the project in the week 1 learning. The role of
stakeholders is integral in a project and therefore, the choice of the project management methodologies are expected to have a huge impact on
the stakeholders associated with a project (Doloi, 2012).
Evidence

This entire course has helped me in gathering a more practical knowledge about the importance of the stakeholders in a project. The stakeholders
of the project are needed to be kept managed and the project manager plays an integral role in ensuring that the stakeholders are informed about
the project progress in proper time. This course certainly helped me in knowing the importance of the stakeholders in a project and their impact
on the choice of project management methodologies. The knowledge about the stakeholders and the importance of the stakeholders that I have
learnt in this course is reflected in the portfolios of week 1 and week4.
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
After attending this course, I have understood that the major project element that an organization need in order to properly manage their project
is proper scheduling and management of a project. Timely completion of the project within an allocated budget plays a significant role in
management of the project. For that proper identification of the project scope is necessary. Scope of the project is therefore another important
element of the project management methodology that an organization might need. An improper scope evaluation might result in project delay or
improper project execution and therefore this element of project methodology is needed to be considered in a project (Marcelino-Sádaba et al.,
2014).
With this course, I have understood the importance of planning in a project. Planning is a key element of project management methodology as it
helps in planning the process by which a project will be implemented. The different elements of the project management methodologies help in
successful project implementation. One of the important elements of project planning is proper requirements identification and gathering.
Evidence
The knowledge about the different aspects and the elements of the project management methodology is gained from the lectures and the study
materials of this course. Working as an intern in a software project has helped me in gaining a knowledge about the process and need of
information gathering in the project. These 12 weeks learning provided a complete understanding of the project management methodologies and
the most important elements of the project management methodologies. The choice of the project management methodology depends on the type
of the project and therefore the important elements of the project methodology vary in different projects. The weekly portfolios have
considerably helped me in brushing up the theoretical knowledge of the project methodologies. The knowledge about the project management
methodologies are reflected in the portfolio of week 4 and week 5.

3 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Throughout 12 weeks of learning about project management methodologies, I have understood the fundamental knowledge about the
need of project management methodologies in different project organizations. The reasons behind the adoption of the project management
methodologies in different organization are evaluated in the report. The choice of the project management methodology mainly depends on the
type of project and the size of the organization. The key elements of the project are needed to be considered while choosing a project
management methodology as the success of the project largely depends on the approach of project management. With this course I have
understood the importance of project stakeholders and the need of keeping the stakeholders engaged with the project. For that proper
communication among the project team members in needed to be evaluated as well. The use of project management methodology has
considerably increased over the years since it provides an easier way of successful execution and completion of the project. It is the
responsibility of the project manager to make a proper selection of the project management methodologies that will ensure that the project is
successfully executed.

Why Project
Management?
The key learning outcome with respect to this unit
concerns the following -
 The rapid level of changes with respect to
technology as well as marketplace has led to the
formation of significant strains concerning the
organizational forms that are already existing.
 Conventional structures are characterized by
largely bureaucratic forms and various studies in
this context have indicted such structures cannot
respond in a rapid manner.
 Project management offers suitable replacement
structure that is both organic as well as enables
abilities for responding in a rapid manner to
internal / external changes.
My organization at present is passing through
an interesting phase from that of a smaller
scale / start up entity towards significant
organic expansion by way of (i) targeting wider
market space, and (ii) increasing investments.
In this context, the company is naturally forced
to enhance its abilities, assets, processes and
other various processes. The company has
realized that project management in being an
effective framework for undertaking various
enhancements to its abilities, assets, processes
and other various processes.

Integrating the project portfolio management

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is crucial for
selection of a particular project over others. While
choosing a project over others, the managers need to
identify the effects of strategic changes within the
organization.
For my ERP implementation project, the knowledge on
PPM helped me a lot to choose the project over other
options. In addition, the PPM knowledge also helped
to identify the effects of strategic changes on the ERP

There are different methods of classifying a project in different categories.
The project classification is necessary to put a control over each operation
and plan effective accomplishment of predetermined goals. There are three
methods of classifying a project into different categories. The first and
foremost method is that they should classify one task per job. Instead of
managing a job with different tasks, they can provide a team member a
single responsibility and measure his or her performance accordingly. The
second method is classified one task per deliverable (Martinelli, 2016). The
development of a task for each deliverable is a straightforward methodology
and will ensure accomplishment of project objectives accordingly. The last
and final method is one task per day, month, and week. This kind of
classification proves beneficial for repetitive kind of projects.
One can easily observe that a senior person in an organization always

foremost thing is that the senior has significant experience in the same field.
Therefore, he or she has the overall knowledge of key deliverables,
important details, and project management aspects (Heldman, 2018).
Another reason is that a senior always have the potential education that
should exist in a project manager. So, in most of the cases, senior is
promoted to a project manager.
Yes, I believe that functional managers would make good project managers.
It is because the functional manager can provide expertise to an employee in
a particular field. After a great experience, the trained employee will
become efficient to manage different people in the same position. This will
develop the management as well as leadership skill among employees. On
the other hand, the functional manager also teaches to employees about
how they can manage the different activities regarding their functional area
(Mir, 2014). This will provide the employees significant knowledge about
working in the complete area. All this knowledge and skills would help the
functional managers in the development of good project managers.

the shoulder of project manager. It is because the sponsors and client
satisfaction serves as the foremost priority for a project manager. Therefore,
it is their responsibility to check continuous project progress and overall
working of the project manager. Moreover, I can say that my answer does
not depend on the priority of the project. But, it depends on project
hierarchy. The sponsors and client behaves as CEO and project manager as
general manager after their position.
A project manager does not have the formal project authorities. In most of
the organizations, power and authority still remain in the hands of functional
as well as a line manager. Due to this situation, a large number of conflicts
may observe between the project manager and line manager. In this
situation, the smart project managers put efforts to earn some informal
authority over the resources. So, it can be said that a project manager does
not design to transfer power from the line managers to the project manager.
It is because project management asks for a project manager to put control
over different operations and lead them in a right direction. Therefore, it
does not care about power and authority of project manager as well as line
managers.

Career paths and growth will remain different from project to project. In
project-driven organizations, the career path and growth will remain static
and move in a particular direction of success. On the other hand, in non-
project driven organizations, the career path and growth will move towards
learning stage. It means that limited growth opportunities will be available
there for success. Furthermore, I believe that the career path in project
management, engineering, and line management will prove effective in case
of project-driven organizations or vice-versa.

stage, I will grasp the theoretical knowledge of different project
management aspects and develop skills accordingly. At the second stage,
the practical knowledge will grasp through job experience (Kerzner, 2017).
At last, I will apply both my theoretical and practical skill on a particular
project by being a project manager.
There is a different kind of organizational structure. These are following:
Functional Organization Structure: It is a common and foremost
organization structure used by different organizations. According to this
structure, an organization would group all the marketers together in a
particular department.
Pros
The functional structure permits high degree specialization for employees.
Apart from this, it is also scalable for an organization growth (Kerzner, 2017).
Cons
The structure has enough potential to create barriers between different
functions.

Cons
The high-level complexity involved in it.
Yes, I believe that personnel working in a project organizational structure
should undergo through seminar sessions on regular basis. With the help of
therapy and seminar session, personnel can get significant knowledge about
their roles and responsibilities and how they can do this. In the absence of
seminar and therapy session, they will not be able to work in a productive
manner. The seminar and therapy session can conduct management on the
Weekly basis. This will help the project management team to manage
knowledge as well as the current performance of employees. Moreover, I do
not believe that the frequency of project management therapy session

depends upon the project organizational form. It is because frequency

Project Manager: The project manager will say that he or she has one boss
ahead. The boss will be the project sponsor or owner.
Functional Team Member: The functional team members will say that they
have 3 bosses. These are; functional manager, project manager, and project
sponsor or owner.
Functional Manager: The functional manager will respond that he or she has
two bosses. The first one is project manager because he or she needs to

According to me, the complex projects are those projects that operate
difficult adaptive systems than simple systems. The complex projects vary
dramatically, exhibiting different aspects and features of systemicity. I have
seen a large number of complex projects. This kind of projects has the high-
level hierarchy. It means that the hierarchy systems have larger as well as
sub-systems. I can also say that the complex projects have a broad work
breakdown structure that spread in the narrow sense. Therefore, I can say

that the complex project requires effective management as well as
communication skills.
In order to manage the complex project, I need a special skill set to perform
a different kind of activities. These activities do not need to follow in the
simple projects because their working is very easy than complex projects. I
will deal with complex projects through implementation of different actions.
The first action is that I will conduct enterprise analysis during the study
phase of a project. This will give me significant knowledge about potential
barriers. Another action is that I will prepare a business case for the project
so that progress can demonstrate effectively. Apart from this, the other
potential actions that I may take includes; initiating, planning, and
controlling. The follow-up of all these actions will help me to deal with the
complex project in an effective manner.
Kerzner (2017) describes the agile methodology as a practice that promotes
continuous iteration of testing and development through the development
lifecycle of different projects. I would like to apply the agile methodology in
case of software projects. It is because development and testing activities

The learning in this week helped to delegate responsibilities of the project, creation of project board, gap analysis and development of change management
strategies. It assisted the project manager to execute the tasks related to project in a better way. Integrating the leaders with the project management
activities is another effective learning in this week.
