Without going overboard, when formatted item 1 to 3 below will be most likely 4 to 5 pages. It
might be more, but it should not be less. Each learning outcome (LO) would contain two to three
paragraphs. The important thing is to say in the LO section how the student achieved the LO.
This is done through the summary and the evidence that points to each week in the appendix
(weekly submission).

1 INTRODUCTION
There has been a big difference between the project management and simple management.
However, the project management deals with final delivery of the product an derbies within
the scheduled time and it deals with the completion of the project. The management of the
can be referred to the continuous process of the life cycle of the project.
2 COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
2.1 Learning Outcome 1: Explain reasons why organisations adopt Project Management
Methodologies
Summary (example only)
The methodologies used in the project management have been adopted by many organization for
preparing a keen approach of the functions of the organization and maintain their function in the
organization. The project management helps in satisfying various aspects of the triangle including the
scope of the project, time of the project and budget of the project. The organization might get adopted
by the method of project management for making all the clients quoted in the work for the same
objective. Therefore, in the organization implementing project manage to help in making all the
employees work for a single objective in the project. Project Management helps to organize many
features in an organization. The project management which deals with many features in an
organization. The features are stated below.
The project management in an organization helps to make a strategic alignment in a project. Project
management ensures that the project will be submitted on time to meet the business opportunities. The
project management has been helping in bringing the leadership in the project in order to make the
objective of the project focussed.

A proper planning has been done in order to maintain a cleared use of the project management in an
organization. The quality of the project has been improved by the implementation of the project
management in any type of the organization. The quality of the project needs ti be imorved in the
project management in any organozation. The use of the project management methfldodgies in the
management has been miantinaing the performance of organization in the market.
Evidence
The organization that I work for is a construction company. I have experience with the construction
company for about five years and have recent experience of project management as the company have
implemented the project management recently to organize all the work in the company. Without the
project management implementation, the company is able to complete all the projects successfully.
2.2 Learning Outcome 2: Critically analyse the impact of Project Management
Methodologies upon stakeholders
Summary
The impact of the PPPM has been able to define the stakeholders has to be made to be clear. The
stakeholders have been showing their interest in the project management that might be clear to the
researcher. The employees of the organization have been showing their interest to the investment on
the project for successful completion if the project. The person taking interest in maintaining the
Project with the stakeholders. However, meeting the requirements of the stakeholders in the project
have been the aim motive of the organization. IN this way, the importance of the stakeholders have
been provided to them. The success factors of the project depends in the satisfaction level of the
stakeholders. With the increase in number of stakeholders in a company, much headache adds on to
complete the project which impacts on the complexity of the project. Project management unites all
the stakeholders together so that the organization does not face any difficulty in dealing with the
project. All requirements of the stakeholders are solved by the project management. There are many
methodologies that are involved in project management to mitigate the issues of stakeholders in an

organization. The methodologies in project management first of all identifies all the stakeholders
present in an organization and them identifies all stakeholders involved in a particular project. All
stakeholders in an organization may not be the stakeholders in a particular project. The methodologies
of project management secondly deals with the intention of the stakeholders involved with the project
(Marks, Majdalawieh and Al Ali, 2018). There are more than one stakeholders involved in a project.
The stakeholders involved may have different motive an objective from the completion of the project.
To maintain a single motive in a project for all the stakeholder is done by project management
methodologies. The PPM helps to unite the stakeholders in a project so mitigate confusion in a
project. To make the project successful all the stakeholder must have a good relation among them to
make the project successful.
Evidence
The construction industry that I work for has many stakeholder spread all over the city. When
meetings are held in the industry, it is not possible for all the stakeholders to attend the meeting. So,
methodologies that are involved in the project management sends all the suggestions for the ongoing
project to all the stakeholders and takes feedback from them. And finally the PPM takes a single
decision from all the stakeholders.
2.3 Learning outcome 3: Explain and justify the major elements of a Project
Management Methodology that might meet the needs of an organisation
Summary

There are various steps included in the project management methodology that can be used by the
organization. These steps are followed by the PPM inckuding the initiation phase, project planning
phase, implementation phase, monitoring phase and closure phase. IN the initiation phase, the project
methodologies have been gathering all the information in order to maintain the requirmnets if the
project. The specification of the project by the project manbagere has been maintuaned by the orijct
manager. The scope of te ongoing project has been specified in the initiation phase.
Yhe second phase is the planning phase. The use of the planning helps in inatiningbthe imoirtance if
the methodology if the project. The methodology of the project helps in making a aclear planning if
the iruject in the market. The use of the planning procedure helps in maintaining the timeleine and
budget of the project. Planning involves how the project will be completed, when the project will be
completed and the total budget for completing the project. Possible mitigation techniques for the risks
that may come while carrying out the project are stated in the planning phase.
In the implementation phase, all the planning that are made comes in to action. For achieving all the
objectives in the project (Crawford 2014). One by one work is started for making the project
successful. The team members starts working on the project part by part which makes the project
successful.
Now, it is time for the project management methodologies to monitor all the phases of work are done
accordingly. This monitoring of the project is mainly done by the project manager or the project team
leader. They monitors the processes according to the steps of the methodology they have chosen for.
The last phase of the project is the project closing phase. After all the objectives are achieved, the
project is delivered to the customer with the all the requirements and after the project closing, the
project is considered to be successful.
Evidence
I work as a project manager in a construction industry undertaking three project presently at
this time. After adopting the PPM in the industry, I am able to manage the project more
efficiently as all the works are synchronized than before. With the PPM, I have already

completed two of the undergoing projects successfully and the third project will also be
completed within 10 days.
3 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Throughout 12 weeks of learning about project management methodologies, I
have understood the fundamental knowledge the application which uses methods, skills,
knowledge, process, knowledge and experience to achieve the objective of the project is
basically known as project management. To understand project management, it is important
to know what a project is about. A project is basically a unique and a transient endeavor that
are undertaken the making a project successful defined mainly as output, outcomes, as well as
benefits. To consider a project as a successful one, the project is objectives are to be fulfilled,
with all the criteria maintained and fulfilling all the requirements of the client with scheduled
time as well as scheduled budget.
