Are
you deploying strategic opportunities, turning
them into projects, assigning constrained
resources on them, and are you expected to
ensure their financial visibility? Are you
intending to disseminate project contents:
sharing documents about your activities, applying
workflows on them, providing business intelligence
to all stakeholders on the portfolio? Do you
wish to built a collaborative environment,
creating communities evolving on projects,
issues, risks and changes?
Project
Portfolio Management enables project and program
portfolios coordination, management and prioritization
as well as resource utilization productivity
improvement. It offers one global environment:
all current and future activities being categorized,
reported, assessed against their business
value and risk (strategic, financial alignment,
etc.).
Project
Portfolio Management (PPM) supports a 3-dimentional
approach:
-
managing
the project related sequence of activities:
business opportunities, projects, resources
assignment, time & expenses, project
accounting and financials
- supporting
content management: linking activities to
documents, workflowing, reporting, indexing
knowledge, offering visibility and business
intelligence
- creating
communities, and offering collaboration
tools: sharing todo's, discussion groups,
dealing on issues and applying change management,
considering partners as part of your organization.
