ABSTRACT: Managing multiple candidate initiatives and
in-flight projects across business units is a big challenge for
organizations. Tracking progress of projects while balancing demand against
available resources to ensure successful completion is difficult. Increasingly,
organizations deploy a Project Portfolio Management (PPM) system. These new
PPM solutions simplify portfolio governance and strive to guide enterprise
innovation. For maximum benefits, the frameworks that shepherd initiatives and
bolster project efficiency must not obstruct ideation, bottom-up creativity and
entrepreneurship.
