09.00 : Registration and Coffee 09.30 : Chairman's Introduction and Welcome
Case Study: Earthquakes in the Project Portfolio: lessons of an itinerant project reviewer - Graham Oakes, Graham Oakes Ltd Managing projects well is not enough. In tough times, organisations need to ensure that their portfolio of projects is well shaped, and that executive decisions are based on an accurate understanding of the state of the portfolio.

This talk will discuss lessons learned while running assurance teams across a large portfolio of games development projects. These lessons range from insights into the psychology of project managers to models for the effective execution and governance of reviews.
