Course details
The course introduces systems thinking, systems engineering and systems management principles, concepts, tools and techniques to help project, program and portfolio managers achieve project, program and portfolio management (PPPM) goals. Systems thinking offers project, program and portfolio managers the powerful perspective to help design clever enduring solutions to system problems. The course introduces simple yet effective tools and techniques to the project, program and portfolio manager. Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary discipline and refers to the distinctive set of concepts and methodologies that have been developed to meet the challenges of engineering systems of unprecedented complexity through the engineering phases of design, development and production/construction to operation. Project, program and portfolio managers will learn how to apply systems engineering to organise complex projects.
Systems management focuses on the design, implementation and effective and efficient PPPM uses of application systems to create PPPM outputs, manage PPPM information and information flow to support effective knowledge management and decision making. The PPPM application systems may be implemented as manual processes or electronically (through applications such as Oracle Primavera, SAP ERP, or IBM Maximo). The course addresses the use of some of these PPPM applications in the context of project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk and procurement throughout the project life cycle. Project managers will be able to propose appropriate project management systems supporting successful project execution. Furthermore, project, program and portfolio managers will be able to ensure that there is an efficient information flow leading to effective decision making at all levels of the organisation for complex projects.
