Effective program and portfolio management is more than just measuring ROI, it is about prioritizing and focusing on managing the enterprise resources, realizing benefits, delivering stakeholders value and ultimately fulfilling the desired business goals. By doing it successfully, it allows for success by creating synergy between projects and programs within the portfolio. The objective is that each project and program can support each other in meeting the global goals of the organization. Understanding how to manage resources such as time, cost, and internal and external staff members across the portfolio makes the difference between project and program success and failure.

In today's challenging business environment, it's the paramount objective to optimize resources utilization, particularly when the organization’s demands exceed the currently available resources

This course provides portfolio management tools and techniques to help you manage the program and project resources to improve performance in your organization. You will be shown how to apply processes and technique to create deliverables and effective portfolio management practices. Our objective is to create a structured approach for creating and managing projects and programs portfolio of resources.

The need to understand and acquire the concepts, tools and techniques demonstrated in this workshop is not reserved for PMO Heads and Portfolio Managers only. On the contrary – the more Project and Program Managers familiarize themselves with these principles, the greater the overall success of the organization’s projects and programs will be.

This seminar will demonstrate how to manage project and program resources, in a practical, understandable and pragmatic way, using a blend of theory, corporate best practices and case-study group exercises.
