Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.

Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess” when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.

This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.

Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.

Who should attend this webinar?
COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers

Enterprise project governance (EPG) represents the ultimate evolution in the field of project management. It provides an overview of all fundamental components that affect the balance and effectiveness of projects of all natures across an organization.

EPG proposes a top-down governance structure which includes an integrated framework that involves board-level participation and encompasses all the major components of organizational project management. The presentation ultimately spotlights how to translate business strategy into effective implementation of projects and programs that determine the success or failure of an enterprise.

The components of enterprise project governance include strategy, risk, portfolio, organization, stakeholders, performance and transformation. The benefits and challenges involved in pursuing the EPG concept are discussed and a case is presented.
