Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a strategic decision making approach aimed at maximizing overall returns on project investments. By focusing on the “right” projects, it is expected that there will be improved organization alignment to strategic plans as well as optimized utilization of financial and human resources.

Unfortunately, there is a significant amount of misinformation in the marketplace about PPM and many organizations that have attempted to implement these practices have failed. Of course, vendors stand ready to “help” unsuspecting executives with snake oil claims of “silver bullet” process or tool purchases to achieve PPM nirvana.

This webinar will provide you with a solid grounding of PPM principles – costs, benefits, critical success factors and lessons learned. These will help you decide whether pursuing PPM improvement is a valuable and realistic goal for your organization. This presentation will also improve your knowledge of the PPM lifecycle and provide you with the key decisions and approaches necessary to launch a successful PPM initiative.

Who should attend this webinar?
C-Level Management, IT Directors and Managers or Directors of PMOs

For years we’ve looked for coverage as the key metric to represent quality. We know it’s not much, but it’s what we’ve got, right?

The truth is that coverage lies all the time. The easiest way to trick coverage tool is remove the “assert” statement from the test. There are a couple of ways we’re tricking ourselves to believe the coverage report, painting the wrong picture.

In this session, Gill will go over what he believes are coverage truths and what to actually look for in coverage reports. They are not useless – you just need to know what to look for.

Once we’ve got the right glasses on, we can make the right decisions: where to put more testing efforts, and decide when we have enough coverage.

We build assumptions and make decisions based on what coverage tells us. Let’s make sure we start by understanding what real useful coverage is.
