It analyzes various readings, including SEBoK, Kerzner, and AS/NZS standards, to understand how systems thinking improves project quality, aligns with agile methodologies, and utilizes tools like decision matrices. The portfolio assesses the importance of systems engineering in project cases, describes how systems engineering concepts organize projects, and explains the significance of selecting appropriate project management application systems. It also discusses how these systems facilitate effective knowledge management, decision-making, and performance monitoring, and proposes suitable applications for different industry domains. The assignment concludes with a discussion on contemporary developments in the use of project, program, and portfolio (PPPM) application systems.
