1) What does it mean to take a system view of a project? How does taking a system view of a project apply to project management?



The system view of a project is to take an internal and external look at the operational environment of the organization. Since every project is unique and has its own ups and downs, project managers should make it a priority to become familiar and understand the organization’s cultural and ethical context in order to manage complex situations (project related) more effectively.  When a manager recognizes how the project and the organization relate, the project manager can create balance within the two. - Romy B

The systems view approach to a project, is such that,  even though projects are temporary, it can not be run in isolation. It needs to serve the need of the organization. Therefore projects must operate in a big picture context. The term systems approach is used to describe a holistic and analytical approach to solving complex problems that includes using a system philosophy, systems analysis and systems management.  It requires defining the scope of the system, dividing it into components, and then identifying and evaluating its problems, opportunities, constrains, and needs. - Yajayra Wojtas
