Relevance of Systems Thinking to Project, Program, and Portfolio Management
What is Portfolio Management vs. Project Management? 1.Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager. The objective of this week’s topic is to describe how the use of applications systems impact and realise effective decision making through knowledge management. I have deliberately underlined certain section in the previous sentence. You might like to compare this week’s topic with last week’s topic. They are similar, but for the emphasis on describing the use of applications systems and knowledge management. Last week we investigated some application systems, notably those from SAP, Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. This week you are trying to describe how they influence knowledge management and particularly decision making. The importance of decision making is of preeminent significance. If we are not going to decide, then what are we doing? The whole point of project management is to plan what we want to do. Then monitor and control that we’re doing what we want. If anything deviates from our goal, then we apply our knowledge to make decisions and get things back on track! So, ask yourself and reflect on:
- What are application systems? To answer this question, you might like to go to your reflections last week?
- What is the problem or inhibitors to project realisation?
- What do the application systems need to do?
- How does knowledge management help in this process?
- What do we need to be in place to make effective decisions?
In this week’s readings and material, you’ll find answers to these questions.
In this portfolio please reflect on the readings (1st column) and the learning outcome (2nd column). Ask yourself in what way does the readings provide insights into the learning outcome? Maybe they don’t! What are your thoughts?
