REFLECTION
Week 9 - Topic: “Propose appropriate PM application systems to support successful project
execution in the infrastructure and resource industries.”
• What is the difference between the words – “identify” (week 8th topic), and
– “propose” (week 9th topic)?
• What does appropriate mean? – What would appropriate be for BP Texas City or Deepwater Horizon?
– What would appropriate be for a CQU group assignment?
– What would appropriate be for infrastructure and resources PPPM’s?
• What do you need to know to execute a project? – PMBOK (Execution + Monitor and Control)
• Will adoption of any of these make a difference to what is proposed? – Program Management Standard
– Portfolio Management Standard
– Systems Engineering
– INCOSE, SEBoK; AS/NZS 15288
• If a project is distributed, virtual, international does this make a difference?
