TOPIC: Do More with Less: How to Align Projects and Strategy

SUMMARY: Do more with less! Project portfolio management (PPM) allows you to select the projects that will deliver maximum business value.  PPM is not project management on steroids.  It is fundamentally different from project management and requires completely different techniques and perspectives. This session will show you what portfolio management is, how it complements project management, and why it is vital for business success. It will summarize current portfolio management techniques and best practices and will show you how to select, prioritize, and coordinate projects to increase their value to your organization.
