PPMP20012 Unit Portfolio Week 9: Proposing PM Application Systems

This project, part of the PPMP20012 unit portfolio, focuses on proposing appropriate project management (PM) application systems to support successful project execution across various industries. The assignment explores the relevance of systems thinking to project, program, and portfolio managers, emphasizing the need for effective communication and data management within organizations. It examines the role of PMIS in managing projects, programs, and portfolios, including the flow of information and the application of systems to monitor performance and manage changes. The project considers the advantages and disadvantages of different PM application systems, both manual and electronic, over the project lifecycle, and discusses contemporary developments in the use of these systems. The student is encouraged to reflect on how application systems can assist project managers in monitoring performance, managing changes, and proposing solutions for effective project execution in diverse industry contexts, considering the needs of organizations and the flow of information within and between project, program, and portfolio levels. The assignment also includes analysis of how these systems can help in making smarter decisions, saving time and money, and reducing human error.

The organization wants an application system through which they can manage
all the operations as well as functions of the organization quite effectively. The
organization generally requires a system that they can easily run project
program as well as portfolio for successfully achieving the project objectives as
well as goals. It is found that presence of proper information is generally
required in order to communicate.
It is found that the application system is generally utilized in order to make
proper communication b exchanging as well as sharing of data on different
projects, portfolio as well as program in order to make the entire project
successful.
It is found that the application system use is quite beneficial for BP as with the
help of the application system, all the information associated with the
organization can be managed by successfully manipulating data as well as by
successfully coordinating the different resources. In addition to this, it is
identified that due to the application of the information system, business
generally an save both time as well as money by making very much smarter
decisions. As the technology is very much automated and uses complex
algorithm therefore it helps in reducing the human error by focussing on the
various core aspects of the business rather spending much time on the
collection of data.
