Project Portfolio Excellence videos
Introduction to Project Portfolio Excellence:
Success with enterprise software and software-related projects has always been a challenge. There are forces at work in today's business environment that will make that success even more difficult to achieve going into the future. In order to improve results today, and to thrive in the frenzied world that we're finding ourselves immersed in, we need better tactics for the analysis, evaluation, selection, and management of software and projects. This video introduces the tools and techniques, the strategy, and the methodology of Project Portfolio Excellence, a new and more effective approach for software and project success.

Software Development and Project Management Lifecycle Process Audit and Analysis:
PPE Truth #93 states that project failure is a process problem, not a people problem. This video explores that idea and suggests that the first step to taking control of your software and project results is to perform an in-depth audit and analysis of your current lifecycle processes.
Effective Software Testing in a Waterfall Environment:
Many times projects are implemented only to find that they fall short in delivering the expected functionality, benefits, and quality that was expected. One of the major reasons for this has to do with how well, or how poorly we test the deliverables before implementation. This video presents a process that will lead to effective testing of project deliverables in a traditional Waterfall develop lifecycle.
PMO Partner:
As companies continue to struggle to get the value and benefits from their enterprise software and software-related projects many consider the establishment of a Project Management Office, or PMO, to be the key to success. But studies show that 75% of companies that establish a PMO end up shutting it down within three years because of a perceived lack of value. This video explains why the benefits of a PMO will become more and more important to continued success with software and projects, and introduces a new service that can help companies get many of the benefits of a PMO without incurring the high setup and maintenance costs of establishing an in-house Project Management Office.
