Before
starting any investment, before consuming constrained resources
and budgets on it, how to make sure that it is aligned with
the corporate strategy and that it has been recognized through
a formal selection process?
This
is what Enterprise Project Management (EPM) is all about:
creating, analyzing, executing and controlling strategical
and organizational portfolios of investments, supporting,
in such a way, strategic decision-making.
EPM comprises
the following capabilities:
- modeling
a strategical breakdown structure
- defining
the criteria's on which the investment selection will be
based
- analyzing
(accepting, postponing, refusing) the underlying investments
- mapping the
organizational capacity (resources, budget, assets, etc.)
to the agreed strategy
- Creating
and analyzing scenarios (both where the strategy and the
organizational capacity mapping are concerned)
- Comparing
scenarios amongst themselves
- Managing
the investments and strategical objectives lifecycle
- Offering
visibility means (dashboards, portlets, reports) on the
strategical perimeter
EPM
facilitates accelerated decision-making for strategic direction,
current resource commitments, future requirements, and the
organizational capabilities necessary to meet those needs.
It delivers measurable results to executives, business managers,
investment sponsors by combining processes, software, and
knowledge.
Since
information information is aggregated as it happens automatically
throughout the company, EPM also enables you to leverage project
intelligence for linking them to tactical, on-the-fly operational
adjustments.
