Senior Managers
You're responsible for making sure that the resources under your command (people, money, time) are applied so as to return the greatest benefits for your company. This means that you must:
- Advocate, select, prioritize, and champion projects that will return the greatest benefits for the entire enterprise AND that have the greatest probability for success
- Provide guidance to Business and Technology Professionals to enhance their collaborative efforts
- Support and enforce quality objectives in order to minimize future maintenance costs
- Pull the plug on projects that have no chance for success
To accomplish these objectives you need to manage a rapidly increasing number of project requests. You also need to manage all projects which are in flight at any point in time. Project Portfolio Excellence provides the tools, the strategy, and the methodology to accomplish this.
If you're tired of the frustration and disappointment of software-project failure, and of not getting the benefits promised by software, now is the time and this is the place to:
take stock... of current project management practices and capabilities
take heart... that areas of weakness can be built up
take control... and lead your company to success in the new reality!
It’s incumbent upon Senior Managers, when made aware of any conditions that will adversely affect project or portfolio success, to seriously weigh the evidence, and fix the problems. (PPE Truth #101)
