The integration of project management and organizational change management is now a necessity.Internat1.System thinking has a great deal of influence in the project and portfolio management. System thinking is seeing the inter relationship between the two processes, rather than observing the sate or pattern of those processes (Kerzner,2013). I helps to build the general principals and rules in the situation where diverse systems are indulges to make a significant process (Fleming& Koppelman,2016). It has some important in the field of project management. The complex project processes need both technical and managerial skills for taking the control of the process (Brioso, 2015). The system thinking is a gateway which enables the participation of both technical and managerial person in the project process. The system thinking process helps the technical person and the management of the process to share and understand each other’s idea (Hornstein, 2015). This understanding helps to integrate the processes in the project in an effective There is a slight difference between the concept and the methodology. Concept is the theoretical statement about some process or activities or a entity, where as the methodology defines the logical steps or the systematic approach towards proving the concept or searching a way tosolve a problem or implement a method. The axiom is a statement that is widely accepted and proven.Whereas the taxonomy is classifications of some entity. In this context, the concept can be regarded as the axiom as it the accepted statement (SEBoK, 2018). The methodology canbe regarded as taxonomy as to reach to the desired result the methodology can be approached in various ways.According to the system engineering body of knowledge the concept is the set of activities related to the system engineering in which the requirements of the clients and stakeholders of the organization and the space and problem space of the project is closely related.The methodology, according to the engineering body of knowledge is the is the a body of tools and methods applied for finding solution of a problem. `the methodology is generally derived from the theoretical framework. It helps a structured approach to the problems in the project and applysome conceptual methods of system thinking in order to solve those problems.

However, the application of relevant tools and techniques are dependent on the perception and experience of the project manager. Some of the system thinking tools and systems are expert judgement, analysis of data from already published paper, alternative analysis, bottom up estimation and application of the project management software. The use of theses tools will provide the resources for the decision making and the resource break down structure. The identification of the possible risks associated in the project and the dependencies of the systems can be determined by the application of the system thinking tools.3.In order to enhance the chances of thesuccess of the project it is important toidentify and manage the requirements of the project. The understanding of the requirement of the project is an important factor for the successful compilation of the project. The project management tools and methodologieshelp to understand the requirement properly and enable the way to manage the required resources for theproject. This helps to reduce the scope3 of 6
