Presentation Title: Why today’s PMOs have to change quickly to be dynamic and actually perform project portfolio management
Presentation Overview:
With all the economic, environmental, social and other changes around us, PMOs are feeling that the usual pressure of achieving more with less is continuously increasing. The PMOs are asked to achieve more goals, benefits and objectives that support the business changing strategies and tactics, not just more projects and programs.
PMOs across the globe are responding to this increasing pressure by being more dynamic and flexible around the good old individual project KPIs (Cost, Time and Scope) and taking those KPIs to be managed on a portfolio level (Budget, Objectives and Time).
In this presentation, Laith is going to explain and show how these PMOs are responding to these challenges, he will describe the challenge and present the solution as he’s seen it through his implementations of Microsoft’s Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution in many organisations in Australia and other places.
