Ideas for the structure of the Consolidated Portfolio
There are many possible approaches, and it is the intention to test how well the students are at tackling the problem. In real life (as you probably know) a project manager is frequently confronted with the need to write a report and structuring the report for the audience is always a tricky thing to do.
However, a way of tackling the consolidated portfolio is to do the following: -
1. Introduction and summary of outcomes
Each Learning Outcome would contain two to three paragraphs. The important thing is to say in the Learning Outcome section how the student achieved the LO. This is done through the summary and the evidence that points to each week in the appendix.
2. Itemize each learning outcome: -
A. Learning Outcome 1- Explain the relevance of systems thinking to the project, program and portfolio manager
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
B. Learning outcome 2- Identify different systems thinking tools and techniques to aid project managers solve project problems.
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
C.Learning outcome 3- Assess the relevance of systems engineering to project cases
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
D. Learning outcome 4- Describe how systems engineering concepts and methodologies can help a project and portfolio managers organize a project
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
E. Learning outcome 5- Explain the importance of appropriate selection of project management (PM) application systems in regards to meeting the internal and external objectives of a project.
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
F. Learning outcome 6 - Describe how the use of project management (PM) application systems can lead to effective PM knowledge management and decision making.
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
G.Learning outcome 7-Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of different manual and electronic project, program and portfolio (PPPM) application systems within each PPPM knowledge area over the life cycle of a project, program or portfolio.

H.Identify how project, program and portfolio (PPPM) application systems can assist project managers to monitor performance and manage changes within a project.
