1. Review using clear terminology the key areas and processes of project, program and portfolio management practices as applies to asset rich organisations.

The objective of this week’s topic is to explore and explain estimating processes and concepts to the project;

· N.J. Smith Chapter 7 will most likely be a substantial part of the way that you’ll explore the estimating process. I think this chapter is particularly good and very relevant to the owners of large assets.

· You may also find that the volume of Edwards, Hermanson, and Ivancevich book on accounting has some additional insights that are worth reflecting on!

· AS 4915 is another standard for a contract. This time it’s about the provision of project management. You might like to compare some of its clauses with the other forms of contract you can find on the SAI web site. In week 7 there is an optional reading for AS 4902-2000 General conditions of contract for design and construct.

· The optional readings from the Engineering & Construction Risk Institute also have summaries of contract issues worth considering. Obviously when negotiating a contract the accuracy of the estimates becomes critical.

· In this last respect you might like to reflect on the links concerning the participants in the Brisbane Airport New Parallel Runway. What kinds of estimates and contracts might be put together for these participants?

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?

Are there other insights that you can make from other units that you have studied? Or your work and life experience?
