This course is a result of 25 years of consulting project and portfolio management experience, including Portfolio Management for large enterprise organizations. We will start this course with a brief overview of project portfolio manager’s responsibilities and the role of portfolio management within the PMO. We will then focus on the key aspects of the portfolio management process. Additionally, we will examine the history of project portfolio management (PPM), the three pillars of PPM, the distinction between project management and project portfolio management, and why bad things happen when organizations fail to utilize project portfolio management. We will then study Agile project portfolio management, the necessary core values, agile project processes, and how they are different vs. a more traditional approach, and how to select the most appropriate approach depending on the situation.
Why do companies like Apple, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson manage to deliver successful products to the markets year after year? And why do the majority of other organizations can’t replicate their success no matter how hard they try? This workshop is dedicated to the complicated and somewhat enigmatic topic of delivering successful products and services to the marketplace by selecting the best projects for implementation, proper assessment of the company’s throughput capacity and having a good grasp on project management.
