Like the source of the Nile, the start of portfolio management can be hard to locate. There is not yet a generally accepted initiation point for portfolio management, so let’s try and figure out where PPM might start in a perfect world.
When used effectively, PPM can increase the perception of IT’s value to the organization. So what can PMOs do to ensure that PPM processes are increasing IT’s value to the business?
Presenting the status on an entire portfolio can be very different than the status on one project or program. The portfolio manager must learn to condense and tailor the message for the audience.
Many organizations fail to recognize that they are driving significant change to a PM’s job--and even fewer do anything to try and make the transition a constructive one. Here, we look at portfolio management in terms of the impact on PMs--and offer some guidance on how to help ensure that those PMs are champions of the evolution rather than resistors.
ProjectManagement.com is excited that its annual (and free) virtual conference and exhibition went so well! With great sessions and more attendees than ever, it was the perfect opportunity to learn, network, earn PDUs and gain valuable knowledge all from the comfort of your home, office--or home office. If you missed the live event on April 24, you can still catch the presentations on-demand here! The day featured six sessions full of enlightening project management lessons covering important issues in spaces like IT strategy, agile PM, portfolio management, PMOs and Visual PM. And our keynote this year was a marvelous session sure to make you a heroic PM!
