PPMP20013 Unit Portfolio: Project Justification, Contract Processes

This portfolio assignment delves into project justification and contract processes within asset-rich organizations. It covers options for proposed solutions, benefits analysis, risk assessment, and cost solutions. The relevance of tools like RACI and stakeholder maps in managing project processes is discussed, along with the significance of sound policies in maintaining capital investments and mitigating risks. The portfolio also highlights the importance of operational management for ensuring quality and safety, avoiding overruns, and making informed decisions. Teamwork is emphasized as a vital component for project success, fostering collaboration and engagement among team members. Key concepts are supported by readings from Smith and other relevant sources, including case studies like the Brisbane Airport's New Parallel Runway project.
