Digitization, mobile applications and a business environment that require rapid response are significantly changing the environment in which most organizations are conducting projects and programs.

While there has always been pressure for “faster, better and cheaper,” all three of these terms are taking on new meanings – and classic PMOs located in IT are poorly equipped to deal with them.

Where providing visibility and enforcing consistency and controls were rewarded in the past, there will just be a single significant metric in the future – value contributed.

Discussion Topics:

• How PMOs will evolve from local compliance activities to value contributed
• How PPM leaders should adjust their practices to execute in an uncertain environment that demands speed and requires ongoing innovation
• How demand should be handled to ensure priorities are met, resources are available and benefits are realized

Duration: 1 hour 1 PDUs Credits: Category C 1 PDU- Free PDU

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
