HOW TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE YOUR ORGANIZATION'S PROJECT PORTFOLIO?
Anyone whose job has involved managing the project portfolio of an entire organisation or a large department will have encountered these issues:
- How do I collect and organise project ideas and needs?
- What criteria should be used to decide whether a project should be included in the portfolio?
- How can I ensure that the project portfolio and the projects within the portfolio align with the company's strategy and contribute effectively to the achievement of the organizational objectives?
- How do I strike the right balance between risks and resources?
- Should you choose the project with high potential or the one with a more certain outcome?
- How do I plan and manage a portfolio-level roadmap and changes?
- How do I integrate unexpected projects into my existing portfolio?
- How can I ensure that the portfolio can respond to changes?
- How can dependencies between projects be identified and managed?
- How do I communicate portfolio decisions?
- How can I ensure support for those affected?
- What IT tools or software can help me do my job?
These issues are a daily challenge for organisations of most sizes and sectors. Through a simulation of a project portfolio case study, our two-day programme will introduce participants to the key methods and tools that underpin successful portfolio management and provide solutions to these issues.
