Compare and contrast
the advantages and

different manual and
electronic PPPM
application systems
within each PPPM
knowledge area over
the life cycle of a
project
From the study of lecture 7, I came to realize the advantages and
disadvantages of various manual and electronic PPPM application
systems within each of the PPPM knowledge areas over project life cycle.
This discussion demonstrate the definition of product and the way
through which a product can be developed followed by manufacturing
process, software source codes, building construction, data processing
and integration. I came to know that product system is a combination of
end process and enabling products.
Before developing and launching any product the project manager and
product developers are required to understand the effects of global
economy, market segment creation, technology development needs,
trends in industry etc. In order to meet a particular consumer
requirement service systems are very necessary. However, in order to
implement any product service system needs to collaborate between
society, science, engineering and enterprises and companies. The
different technology intensive technologies services are differentiated
into information driven, customer centric, value added, product focused
and ecommerce oriented. I came to know about the properties of
services in terms of service level agreement (SLA), service KPI’s and
evolution of services.
I have also learned the different system types like acknowledged,
directed, collaborative and virtual. I have also understood the types of

programs such as strategic, emergent and compliance. The study also
gave ideas on portfolio risk management. I have learned that there risks
can either be positive or negative. It also implies that I have realized that
risks can have either positive or negative impact on project success.
