Synopsis:
A project portfolio can be a vicious beast – and it tends to bite. Juggling project priorities inevitably leads to loss of the intended gains including efficiency, efficacy, and even morale. Discussions loom and abound concerning Portfolio and Program Management, but for many of us that's really the tail wagging the monster. We need to position the leash differently, closer to the head, and this requires a deliberate project selection and prioritization system. This must be a repeatable and dynamic method that serves as a standard and adapts to strategic and organizational changes – the real world. We will discuss and explore a series of graduating techniques, from subjective and manual to objective and automated, that will introduce new improved levels of control and confidence to your organization. Learn how to make the beast work for you.
