PMOs are now venturing into the realm of strategic portfolio management (SPM). In this engaging session, we'll delve into the following topics:
One systemic issue we'll discuss is using strategic alignment as a criteria for prioritization. It is very easy to say, “yes, it’s strategic” but part of governance is to ensure we know how it is aligned – up through initiatives, strategies, goals using actual measurements.
And what about projects that provide other value to the organisation that is not strategic? Exploring why value needs to be a major component of the prioritization process to build a rounded portfolio, Deborah will explain how to seamlessly integrate strategic portfolio management into your PMO!
If you can't make it to the live webinar, that's no problem - register anyway and we'll send you a recording of the session.
