1 INTRODUCTION
The project management methodologies are depicted to be described as the project
management processes which are used for managing the projects in an appropriate way. It is
found to be focusing on the development of the simplest plans for overcoming the
complexities present in the project. The project management is also helpful for managing the
project related activities in an appropriate way which is used for governing the projects and
also the execution of the projects can be made by using various simple methods of the project
management (Heerkens, 2015). The project management methodologies are found to be
helpful for carrying out the change management processes in the organization where the key
actions are designed, planned and implemented for the betterment of the change management
processes. The management of the transitions and the development of the sustainability are
depicted to be showing the improvement of the changes for the improvement of the
organizational activities. Apart from this, the changes are found to be aimed for the
development of the agility and the development of the changes in the project management
which will enable them to focus on making the improvement in the activities.
2 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
2.1 Learning Outcome 1:Explain reasons why organizations adopt Project
Management Methodologies
The project management methodologies are found to be adopted by the organizations because
the project management methodologies are depicted to be providing a structured form of the
approaches for overcoming the issues. By considering all the essential requirements, the
development of the operational environment is found to be essential for managing the
projects for the betterment of the operational environment. The project team is prepared by
the organization for the implementation of the project and also the appropriate execution of
the project in the various operational phases. The project management methodologies are
found to be helpful for building the capacity as well as it is focusing on the deliberate
approach for building the capacity and also the natural learning processes can be easily
carried out in the process (Cooke, Tate, and Cooke, 2011). The improvement in the training
processes can be made with the execution of the appropriate roles and the responsibilities for
the risk management processes. Apart from this, the structured approach is being developed

which is found to be providing a clear upfront by which the improvement in the relationships
in between the team members and the removal of the time-consuming processes can be easily
made. The adoption of the trial and the error method are depicted to be dependent on the
activities as it supports the management of the cost as well as the time-consuming processes.
Theprocess of gathering the information is found to be changed by which the complex
problems can be easily solved. The changes in the project phase are depicted to be showing
the data consistency which is helping in gaining an appropriate way of making the
appropriate implementation of the technologies. The focus on making the improvement in the
activities will be made which are found to be present outside the project (Maltzman and
Shirley, 2011). Apart from this, the identification of the objectives is made which are
depicted to be showing the development of the holistic task management processes.
Summary (example only)
The learning which is presented in this part of the reflective writing is the process of
gathering the knowledge regarding the management tools and processes. The project
management is found to be very much efficient in handling the data in an appropriate way
and also is found to be useful for gathering the resources in an effective way. The process of
gathering the data are found to be presenting the example for me of carrying out the learning
process (Graham, 2011). The project management methodologies need to be implemented in
order to achieve the goals and objectives.
Evidence
The evidence regarding the justifications provided for this coursework learning is reflecting
the coursework skills and the knowledge. It is depicted to be showing the development of
thecross-functional teamwork processes which will build an appropriate relationship with the
development of the activities (Heagney, 2012). Apart from this, the Kerznerbook of project
management methodologies is undertaken by me thatis reflecting the activities which are
carried out by me all through the 10 weeks.
2.2 Learning Outcome 2: Critically analyze the impact of Project Management
Methodologies upon stakeholders
The focus on influencing the activities which are involved the process of carrying out the
project. It is important to manage the organizational activities as well as the following the

regulations. The changes in the stakeholder taste and preferences are depicted to be reflecting
the needs of the project and also are found to be impacting the business process. The
stakeholder management is found to be essential for managing the activities. It is found that
activities are impacted by the stakeholder’s views and attitudes. The changes in the processes
are found to be creating an impact on the processes as well as the inappropriate delivery of
the information are leading to the inappropriate management of the project stakeholders. The
process carried out by the stakeholders are leading to the inappropriate development of the
impact on the business processes and also the mitigation of the impact can be carried out by
appropriately attracting the project stakeholders (Goodpasture, 2014). Apart from this, the
failure of the projects are leading to the development of the inappropriate project stakeholders
as well as the relative power is found to be influenced by showing the appropriate
adjustments as depicted in this study. It is also influencing the activities which are showing
the development of the impact on the stakeholder management activities. The report is
reflecting the needs of the project manager which is influencing the stakeholder development
of the project as well as the appropriate enhancement of the activities can be easily made. The
focus on making the improvement of the stakeholder circle is found to be helping in gaining
the attention of the activities and also the appropriate importance to the project must be
provided which will enhance the needs, as well as the diverse set of the groups, will be
created which are identified to be destroying the needs (Rozenes, 2011).
Summary
The examples are found to be reflecting the appropriate accomplishment of the objectives
which is being made by me by including the activities and also the impact on the business
processes are found to be reflecting the needs by which the relationship can be easily
developed. Therefore the project stakeholder management knowledge is being gained by me
which will enable me to enhance the needs as well as the improvement of the activities can be
easily made which will enable me to focus on the activities (Beringer, Jonas, and Kock,
2013). It will help me to enhance the skill of mine as well as the gathering of the knowledge
regarding the development of the project is being gained by me. The project management
activities need to be appropriately informed to the stakeholders of the organization.
Evidence
The gathering of the knowledge is being gained from by me from the Kerzner book of project
management methodologies is undertaken by me that is reflecting the activities which are
carried out by me all through the 10 weeks. The evidence regarding the justifications

provided for this coursework learning is found to be reflecting the coursework skills and the
knowledge by which the improvement of the structuring of the approaches can be easily
made (Elias, 2015). Thus, it is found to be reflecting the needs of the study which is also
enhancing my knowledge as well as the skills as identified in me.
2.3 Learning outcome 3: Explain and justify the major elements of a Project
Management Methodology that might meet the needs of an organization
Project management is considered to be the most critical and crucial part which helps to
provide a framework for the entire project and its key element helps to provide the ample
support to overcome the critical issues related with the project. Every organization is heavily
dependent on the project management aspect as it helps to provide the clear and key insight
about the project guideline and framework which is accomplished with through forecasting
and analysis which eventually result in the successful completion of the project within the
stipulated time frame and capital (Gemünden, 2015). The three basic elements of the project
management which are essential for the overall completion of the project undertaken by the
organization project scope, project time and capital and communication. Project scope helps
to provide the key guideline about the available resources and the necessary tools which are
implemented and utilized to complete the project in the most appropriate way. Project time
and capital are considered to be the most significant part of the two aspects are considered to
be the primary area of concern. The time and capital are considered to be the primary
constraint organization have in the completion of the project management aspect (Assudani
and Kloppenborg, 2010). The time and capital need to be analyzed and forecasted with the
help of proper toll such as GANNT chart which helps to determine the actual time needed to
complete the assignment. Finally, the most vital element of project management is the
effective communication while undertaking the project. Effective communication is
considered to be the most primary and vital part as it helps to manage and control the overall
operation in the more effective way (Kendrick, 2009).
Summary
The summary of the project management helps to provide the key insight about the project
idea and the element related to the project management and its role is reflected in precise and
accuracy (Doloi, 2011). The element is vital for the completion of the project while
maintaining the ethics and guideline of the project undertaken by the organization. The

organization provides the platform for the project by setting up the guidelines which are
mandatory to follow for the successful completion of the project.
Evidence
The evidence is primarily collected and gathered based on the book of project management
by Kerzner which give an immense knowledge and brief idea about the skill and expertise
need to complete the project (Ponnappa, 2015). The collection of the data assists to focus on
the project management methodology. The project management methodology fulfils the
needs of the organization.
3 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Based on the overall analysis and evaluation it is clear and precise that the element of project
management is directly proportional to the successful completion of the project and hence it
is essential to keep in mind while executing the entire project. Communication is considered
to be the pivotal areas which need to be taken care off in order to complete the project within
the given capital and time frame. The organization needs to focus on the key issues and
element which will help to accomplish the project within the given time frame (Gandhak and
Sabihuddin, 2014). The project is reflecting the key processes which are carried out in this
project and also is found to be reflecting the needs by which the development of the
stakeholder management activities and the needs for the implementation of the project
management activities can be easily made. Apart from this, the achievement of the desired
skills and the objectives were gained which are helping in attaining the attention of the
objectives.

Many faces of

1980’s
1990’s
As I studied the history of the PM.It
is seen that in 1980 the planning
scheduling, estimating and cost
control were ineffective. The focus
of the project was on moving targets.
Later in 1990s morale, motivation,
human relations, productivity were
very poor. No functional and
employee commitment was there.
Even there was a delay in solving the
problem. Too many policy issues
were unresolved. There was also
some conflict between the priorities
of line managers, project managers
and executives.

necessary to purchase the software of
project management so that the
maturity process can be accelerated
and to protect from easy tracking, a
small breakthrough of the project
was implemented. The results of the
