Project Portfolio Management Maximizing Strategy Execution

Organised By:

17 June, 16 September, 18 November 2008, London Marc de Goeij, Resilient www.unicom.co.uk/projectportfolio About This Workshop

It is often difficult for an organization to manage projects in their interdependency and to continuously keep them aligned with the organization goals and objectives, especially when the rapidly changing environment enforces regular changes of strategies and plans. They lack the insight in the status and performance of the portfolio and mechanisms for what-if scenario’s and impact analysis. The challenge lies in managing the complexity of the various parameters influencing the success of the total portfolio. This workshop gives insight into the dynamics of Project Portfolio Management (PPM), the process for PPM and the interaction between the PPM process and other important processes (including Strategy Development, Architecture Management, Resource Management and Project Management).

• Project Portfolio Management: the ‘end-to-end’ best practice Business Process Case Study Discussion: Using a PPM tool to manage a Project Portfolio in real life, Scenario’s and Impact Analyses for Project decisions • Performance Reports for Portfolio Performance Reporting • Formalizing the PPM Process Project Portfolio Management Governance: Roles and Responsibilities A Case Study: PPM implementation in a large insurance company • How do other organizations implement PPM? • Lessons Learned and Best Practices
