PPMP20012 Unit Portfolio: Systems Thinking for Project Managers

This report identifies and describes various systems thinking tools and techniques that can aid project managers in solving project problems. It categorizes these tools into brainstorming tools (like fishbone diagrams and double Q diagrams), dynamic thinking tools (including behavior over time graphs and causal loop diagrams), structural thinking tools (such as graphical function diagrams and policy structure diagrams), and computer-based tools (like computer models, management flight simulators, and learning laboratories). The report emphasizes the importance of understanding interconnections within a system and using these tools to gain insights into problem dynamics, decision-making processes, and potential solutions in project management. It references key literature in the field, providing a comprehensive overview of how systems thinking can enhance project management practices. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments for students.
