PPMP20009: Consolidated Portfolio in Project Management Methodologies

This document presents a student's consolidated portfolio for the course PPMP20009 Project Management Methodologies, Term 1, 2018. The portfolio includes ten weekly entries detailing learnings from readings, lectures, and tutorials, alongside personal experiences and supporting documentation. Key topics covered encompass project planning, stakeholder communication, resource management, risk assessment, and the impact of project management methodologies on organizational outcomes. The reflection also touches upon the importance of defining roles, conducting effective kick-off meetings, and developing comprehensive scope statements. Furthermore, it addresses the challenges of managing external source projects, balancing time constraints, and avoiding over-management while emphasizing the critical role of project managers in knowledge transfer and organizational change.

The factors that are absolutely
necessary for the planning of this
project consists of the following:
Scope and value description of the
project plan is the inception that helps
in the development of a booming
project plan informing about the
wholesome idea nad outcomes of a
particular project.
Communication with the different
stakeholders who are entailed in the
project discuss over the factors that
have the potential to influence or
affect the project execution as a
whole, thus this would affect the final
outcome of a project.
Project charter ideally holds the
records of all the primary constraints
of a project, which in turn describes
the personal achievements of a
manager that is achievable through
the execution of a project. The human
resource factors must be considered
along with the resources that are
important for the project execution.
This should describe tall the factors
that are essential covering all the
project aspects which are the most
reasonable and favourable in fulfilling
the needs and requirements of the
clients and consumers.
Defining the roles and
responsibilities of each of the
stakeholders that are in accordance

with the project has to take into
consideration the capability and the
ability every individual has and also
the effectiveness and efficiency along.
It also needs to be kept into
consideration that their ability of
driving a project with efficiency and
effectiveness needs to be well
thought-out during the project
execution.
A successful kick-off meeting needs
to be considered to have a wholesome
idea about the constraints of a project
and also for the approval of these
constraints. The kick-off meeting
should consist of a proper and well-
defined description about the vision of
the project, the vision or strategies
behind the business, the stakeholder
identification along with their roles
and responsibilities, the commitments
that the team should ideally possess,
the ground rules defined in the
program and the descriptions of the
group size and the subgroups who
would also be considered as a part of
the project.
Development of the scope statement
delivers the entire emphasis upon the
outcome of the project and the
deliverables that the project has to
offer. The scope statement should be
able to discuss and describe about the
strategies implemented in order to
eradicate the problems the business
has been currently facing, along with
the objectives that the project has to
deliver, the overall deliverables that
the execution of the project has to
offer, and the factors and milestones
that has the capability of having an

There is a statement providing the fact
that the project progressed for an
external source views a project
manager as a person having a golden
pot and then the person has to manage
the entire project with only that pot of
gold sufficiently making out profits
for all the stakeholders of the
organization. This means that the
externally source projects deliver the
project managers with the ability to
progress the project in a much
organized way that helps in the better
execution of the project and produces
the deliverables and objectives of the
project successfully. Nevertheless,
there are many risk factors in a project
propagation that needs to be
considered as well through the
delivery of the project. Although, it
also has to be kept in mind that not all
the risk factors are major enough to be
considered, but the ones that have the
probability of affecting the effective
and efficient propagation of a project
needs to be eradicated at once. This
can even affect a project manager to
take back the task sixty weeks away
from the proposed timeline. Time is a
factor has to be considered in every
project management task for having
an improved and solid experience of
every aspect of the project. If
efficiency has to be kept at a high
level in a project, then time should be
invested more, because a close to
perfection project is not achievable in
a hurried manner.

project becomes superior in priority
than the achieving of the project goals
and objectives and these are seconded
in comparison. The entire focus of the
project then shifts from the output and
productivity of the organization and
focuses more on the management of
the overall project. This is a negative
impact in the progress of a project.
It is entirely the responsibility of a
project manager to identify the
changes in the project management
and have interaction between the
management throughout the entire
process transferring the knowledge.
This is to be considered as a necessity
since the coordination between the
management and the project
programme team depends upon each
other.
Portfolio Reflection
I have successfully gathered knowledge about the authorities considered in a project and all the
other activities that are dependent on this hierarchical structure of the management team of a project. I
have also come to know about the enhancement of the standard of the project that is induced by this
hierarchical process. The different authorities at varied levels have different roles and responsibilities that
collectively manage the operational activities of an organization.
