Managing The 'Critical Path' From Strategy To Execution
Successful organisations achieve high performance by integrating strategy execution, portfolio, programme, and project management best practices. Information Technology best practices, in particular, set high performers apart from the rest. The increased pressure to 'Do More with Less' and to demonstrate business value of IT and Telecommunications investments, forces us to better align IT efforts and articulated business strategies. Decreased availability and increased scrutiny of IT funding need to lead to a greater focus on effective project prioritisation and allocation of IT resources by way of IT portfolio segmentation for ROI analysis and IT alignment for project success.
We will look at current issues and challenges when faced with choosing the 'right' project with the 'right budget and resource' allocation, and also at the latest development undertaken by PMI on programme and portfolio management standards, as it is imperative we implement and follow best practices to upgrade governance and prioritisation processes and thus build more responsive IT organisations.
