PPMP20012 Unit Portfolio - Weeks 2-6: Project and Systems Management

This student portfolio, created for the PPMP20012 unit, presents a comprehensive overview of project, program, and portfolio management, focusing on the application of systems thinking and systems engineering. The portfolio covers topics from weeks 2 through 6, including the role of project management application systems, the relevance of systems thinking to project managers, the assessment of systems engineering in project cases, the use of systems engineering concepts, and the importance of selecting appropriate project management systems. The portfolio incorporates mandatory and optional readings, including SEBoK, Kerzner, and AS/NZS 15288, and reflects on weekly learnings and experiences. It also delves into operational systems, service life extension, and system maintenance, emphasizing architectural, reliability, and support considerations. Supporting documentation and references, such as research papers, are included to provide a well-rounded understanding of the concepts. This portfolio offers a detailed analysis of project management principles and their practical application.

knowledge
management
processes
It has been learned that there are different project, program and portfolio
management application systems are there which help to govern any project
towards the objectives. The supporting project management supporting
processes must be followed by the project managers to implement the project
include financial management, procurement management, quality
management, schedule and scope management, resources management and
risk management.
The study will help to demonstrate the supporting operational system from the
start to the end include: service life extension, modernization and upgradation,
disposal and retirement. It has been learnt that with the help of service life
extension the life of a product, service and system can be improved beyond the
expectation.
How system maintenance can be used to analyse system operations are also
elaborated in this lecture details. In fact corrective actions can also be taken
against the failure report with these approaches. For operational sustainability
the different components those are to be considered include architectural
consideration, reliability consideration, support consideration, maintainability
and system support. The operational effectiveness is also elaborated through
this approach.
