KEYNOTE session overview
Portfolio management has become a mainstream practice with over 50% of Global 2000 companies adopting Portfolio Management principles. Three forces continue to drive the need for a sound methodology and proven tools for portfolio management:
Yet most organizations will adopt simplistic solutions based on input data and “nice charts” or will view portfolio management as a roll up of projects into an umbrella group. Why do some implementations drive portfolio value up by as much as 30% while other attempts become just another failed project? In this session we will discuss generally accepted best practices for portfolio management. The presenter will also demonstrate how portfolio management can be achieved within a software toolset based on Microsoft Project Server 2010 to help organizations achieve maximum value from their investment dollars.
