Organisational project management methods are increasingly used by organisations to maintain a competitive advantage or to adapt by bringing about change. There is a spectrum of organisational project management frameworks and structures (ranging from agile to waterfall, and from the project to portfolio-level) and organisational project management professionals require the ability to decide what frameworks and structures are best used in specific contexts. When deciding which frameworks to use, this must be undertaken with respect to the complex nature of organisations and the increasing calls for a sustainable and responsible approach to all aspects of organising work.

Whether you are working at the project, program or portfolio level, the aim of this course is to help you determine the high-level frameworks and structures necessary to manage project work. You will draw on contemporary research as a lens to explore how high-level frameworks and structures can be leveraged to best support the organisation of project work in your industry context and make clear and justified recommendations. You will make your judgements regarding suitable frameworks and structures with reference to the operational work that occurs in parallel with project work, the complexities inherent in organisational life, and the expectation that a sustainable and resilient approach to work is cultivated. This course provides the foundations for exploring projects, programs, and portfolios.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. analyse critically and synthesise the foundational theories and methodologies in organisational project management to assess suitability for use in complex contexts and with reference to contemporary management expectations;
2. cultivate the knowledge and skills to research the suitability of organisational project management frameworks and structures to solve practice problems;
3. communicate knowledge and expert judgements relating to organisational project management to non-specialist audiences to build professional credibility and influence.
