Defining and setting business goals is only the first step. Of real concern to all is exactly how we will meet these goals. There are many possible approaches, but execution of strategic and tactical projects is virtually always a primary means. We all know that selection of the right projects and their successful outcome is critical to business success. But how can this be accomplished on a regular basis?
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is the set of processes that underlies the selection and oversight of your organization's projects. It is a primary determinant of how much value you receive for each project dollar. The Project Management Office (PMO) can have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of project execution by promoting effective project management process and ensuring that projects receive much needed oversight and support. Studies have now shown that formal project management practice, when properly implemented and supported, is a primary determinant of consistent project success. Reaching Your Strategic Goals: Getting the Most out of Projects explores the core principles and best practices that make PPM and the PMO powerful drivers for the attainment of business strategy.
This course does not require any prior project training or special knowledge of project management or PMO concepts, although a basic understanding is helpful for some of the exercises.
