Life Cycles and Methodologies: Week 8 Portfolio Analysis

This portfolio reflects on the study of project life cycles and methodologies, emphasizing the importance of effective project integration management. It covers various methodologies like SDLC, Agile, Waterfall, Scrum, and Prince2, highlighting their roles in planning, resource accumulation, and project execution. The portfolio also discusses the significance of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), resource allocation, conflict resolution strategies, and the importance of clear communication with stakeholders. It emphasizes the use of project documentation and the application of different phases and processes in project operations. The student reflects on their personal learning outcomes, including improved understanding of project management principles and their practical application in real-world scenarios, including the development of functional analysis and monitoring operations.

Life cycles and
methodologies
The project lifecycle consists of the timeline
activities from initiation of the project to the
completion of the project. The activities of
project lifecycle are planning, resource
accumulation, budgeting, implementing,
monitoring, final documenting, and closing.
The project management operations should
follow the development of the standards
and guidelines for the effective deployment
of the project operations.

The use of the effective and improved
methodologies like SDLC, Agile, Waterfall,
Scrum, and Prince2 are some examples of the
project life cycle methodologies. The project
management methodologies consist of
specific and improved activities for completing
the project operations and it is helpful in
easing the flow of the operational activities in
the project.
The project management would provide the
development of the successful project
integration and development. The project
managers would have to follow the
principles and guidelines for developing the
improved project integration management.

The project management effectiveness can be
described as the option of implementing the
development of the operations and
deployment of the principles for effectively
running the operations of the project.
We can form an estimation of the improved
development models in alignment of the
effective and improved development
models. It would help in forming the
development of the improved functional
analysis.

Prince2 practice is the best practice for
the project management theories and
processes. It is important for aligning the
operations of the project and developing
the improvement facilities and
operations.
Planning is the process of setting some
activities and processes after deep analysis
and study for the integration of the project
for achieving the expected outcomes and
delivery. The planning consists of Initial
Phase, Planning Phase, Implementation
Phase, and Project Closure
Portfolio Reflection
The study of week 8 has shown the use of project life cycle and methodologies for the development of the improvement methods. The study would be
assisted by the development of the effective and implied project integration management. The project analysis would provide the scope for the
development and implementation of the project and program operations. The planning steps that precede the total program scheduling are requirement
analysis, resource accumulation, initial documentation, and signing of the documents.
The process of planning and development of the improved processed would develop the modification of the improvement and analysis of the system
development. The development of the project integration and deployment would form the analysis of the operations and formation of the improved
functional analysis and monitoring the operations of the project. The analysis of the project would integrate the analysis of the project operations.
The functional managers would have to ensure that the operations of the project initiation would be done successfully. The first three levels of WBS are
investigation, design and cost, and approval and consent. The functional managers are in charge of accumulating the resources and ensuring the completion
of the project operations.
The deployment of the improved functional analysis would provide the development of the implementation model. The development of the project analysis
would form the formation of the complex program planning and development. The program development would provide the development of the

operations and analysis of the system development models. The use of the program development would develop the analysis of the integration and
development.
Yes it is possible for the designing of the WBS for the resource allocation for easy identification.
Yes, my mother has overlooked the probability of the development of the studying and preparation for project and it has resulted in forming the
improvement of the project work. The alignment of the project integration would help in forming the development of the operations and development.
The different types of conflicts that can arise during the planning cycle are difference is prioritizing the role, lack of communication, slackness of role
transparency, and working in silos. The conflict resolution can be done by following the process of compromising, confronting, smoothing, forcing, and
avoiding.
The use of effective communication, review and sign of initial documents (project charter), and procurement documents are used for ensuring that the
operations of the project are completed in the estimated time and development. The formation of the project documentation would help them in
understanding the project criteria’s like work break down structure, work statement, and program plan.
Yes, I ensure that the stakeholders completely understand the progress of the project. I use effective communication, reviewing and signing of initial
documents (project charter), and procurement documents for ensuring that the stakeholders completely understand the progress of the project. No. I use
only professional emails and documentation for contacting them. Project team meetings are held at regular interval for ensuring a proper communication
and transfer of information among the project team members. I only ring them by phone when there is some urgency of work to be done or decisions to be
made.
The Work Breakdown Structure developed is formed by the use of phasing the activities of the project in terms of time phased as it would help in easing the
development of the operations and processes.
