PPMP20012 Unit Portfolio: Importance of Project Management Systems

This portfolio for PPMP20012 Week 5 emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate project management (PM) application systems for successful project realization and meeting internal and external objectives. It draws upon readings from SEBoK, Kerzner, AS/NZS 15288:2015, and Raymond & Bergeron (2008), integrating learnings from weekly studies, experiences, and prior readings. The portfolio highlights that the complexity of the application system should align with the project's complexity, and stresses the need to understand the project's scope to choose the right system. References to Burke (2013), Harrison & Lock (2017), Heagney (2016), Kerzner & Kerzner (2017), and Mir & Pinnington (2014) provide additional context. Desklib offers a range of similar resources for students.

1. Explain the
importance of
appropriate
selection of project
management (PM)
application systems
in regards to
meeting the
internal and
external objectives
of a project.
From the reading and the learnings in the course have helped me a lot in
understanding the fact it is very much important to choose the appropriate
application system. Selection of the appropriate application system is
associated with helping in the determination of successfulness and
unsuccessfulness of any project. The complexity of the application system
generally varies in accordance to eth complexity of the project. So it is
very essential and important to understand the scope as well as the
complexity that a project is having so as to choose the application system
appropriately.
