This paper is written by the person who was director of the DPM. That program was subsumed into the RMIT PhD program around 2012 the DPM had a coursework and thesis components with the coursework being advanced project management topics to prepare candidates for their thesis work. The thesis (monograph) expectation was consistent with that expected of the PhD.
