System Dynamics Modelling For PM Assignment -
INTRODUCTION -
Students should achieve an understanding of dynamical systems methods applied to complex adaptive systems (CAS). CAS is a new approach to engineering and management that studies and models how relationships between parts give rise to collective and dynamic system-level behaviours, for example, in communication and transport networks, megaprojects, social and eco-systems. Effectively implemented, the methods can dramatically improve a manager's effectiveness in today's complex and interconnected business world, by helping to predict and evaluate indirect effects of actions and policies. This course provides managers with many practical quantitative tools to enhance individual, team, and organisational learning, change, and performance.
LEARNING OUTCOMES - Learning outcomes are the key abilities and knowledge that will be assessed in this unit. See assessment summary table below for details of which outcomes are assessed where. Outcomes are listed according to the course goals that they support.
Project Methods -
1. Ability to recognise complex scenarios.
2. Understand the differences in Project Management style, situations and context.
3. Build the bridge between System Theory and Project Management.
Project Leadership
4. Analyse the impact of different scenarios and how they be impacted by the stakeholders decisions.
5. Ability to map the the skills needed in a complex project and identify possible gaps.
Professional Practice
6. Gather and reflect on lessons learnt at the end of the group and individual assignment.
ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION -
1. Students develop and apply System Dynamics models, to a set of scenarios.
2 and 3. Students describe and critically analyse System Dynamics models, in the context of literature on this topic. Oral presentations in class will be conducted in advance of a written report being due.
4. Class participation mark will be composed of (compulsory) attendance at the classes, plus satisfactory active participation in discussions and in-class activities, as directed.
