Principles in Project Portfolio Management

Project portfolio management (PPM) has since the 1950s offered principles helping us to act in PPM-related situations. In this study, the author(s) consolidated the knowledge accumulated over seven decades of PPM research. By reviewing this extensive body of work, they have identified 17 PPM principles grouped into four distinct categories. These principles have significantly shaped how organizations understand PPM.

To facilitate practical implementation, they developed a framework that allows organizations to evaluate their adherence to these 17 PPM principles. This framework serves as a valuable tool for organizations, enabling them to identify areas where improvements can be made, thereby enhancing their PPM practices.

Additionally, the authors critically examine the limitations of the identified principles and their underlying assumptions. Recognizing the evolving needs of future organizations, they propose a pathway for the development of new PPM principles. This path aims to ensure that PPM principles remain relevant and effective in meeting the demands of organizations in the future.

As a result of this research, the authors of this PMJ article contributed to the advancement of PPM knowledge and provide practitioners with practical insights that can be applied in real-world contexts. These findings and framework serve as valuable resources for practitioners in their pursuit of successful project portfolio management.

After the presentation, the participants will be able to:

  1. Define Project Portfolio Management (PPM).
  2. Identify the 17 PPM principles.
  3. Understand the four categories of PPM principles.
  4. Assess their organization’s adherence to PPM principles.
  5. Explore the underlying assumptions and limitations of current PPM principles.

The #1 Challenge Of Most CEOs

Motivating employees to be fully committed to achieving their company’s goals has always been a challenge. Recent shifts in demographics, cultural values, and the rise of remote and hybrid work have made it even harder for organizations to foster genuine engagement.

This has now become a major problem. Research shows that only 20% of U.S. employees today are genuinely “all in” for achieving their company’s plans and goals. The other 80% are unconstructively engaged, “quiet quitting,” or completely disengaged. Clearly, traditional alignment mechanisms like performance goal-setting, engagement surveys, team-building retreats, etc., are no longer sufficient.

Even the CEOs of elite companies know that improving workforce social alignment is a big win-win opportunity. Fully engaged employees are over 50% more productive, take 75% fewer sick days, and are 50% less likely to leave. Additionally, these employees experience 70% less stress and far greater well-being. Given the stakes involved for everyone, it is no wonder a recent Spencer Stuart study found that 75% of CEOs cited creating an “all-in” culture as their #1 priority. HR professionals are scrambling to find new ways to address this growing challenge.

Join our webinar to discover how groundbreaking advances in machine learning and generative AI have finally unlocked a new way to take workforce engagement to the next level. Learn how your company can quickly and easily begin utilizing these new AI-powered solutions to significantly improve both organizational performance and employee well-being.

Key takeaways include:

  • Learn about a new way to achieve unprecedented levels of employee engagement with large, measurable bottom-line impacts for your organization.
  • Discover why this new class of AI applications will quickly become the #1 AI use case in HR.
  • Get a free tool to calibrate the size of the workforce social alignment improvement opportunity in your organization.

Nearly two-thirds of supply chain leaders plan to or are already implementing generative AI (GenAI), according to a recent Gartner survey.

Just 2% of respondents said they have no plans to do so in 2024. Moreover,supply chain executives report they are dedicating about 6% of their function’s budget to GenAI.

The majority of CSCOs expect GenAI to help enhance productivity, improve business agility and reduce costs. The challenge for many organizations this year is scaling their pilot projects for broader adoption.

Join this Gartner supply chain webinar as Gartner expert Noha Tohamy (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst delves deeper into the survey findings to explore supply chain leaders’ plans for GenAI solutions in 2024.

You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions, a copy of the research slides, and recommended actions to help you achieve your GenAI goals.
