Description of Presentation/Content:

As organizations reach higher levels of maturity in managing projects individually, they shift their focus to managing them collectively as a project portfolio. This transition seems to occur when you realize that projects are investments—not expenditures. Managing project investments collectively brings coherence to implementing your organizational strategic initiatives and helps create sustainable value in the long run. This presentation offers you a short introduction to project portfolio management and a brief “how to” methodology to design, build, and manage a portfolio. This is a methodology discussed in detail along with tools, techniques, and case studies in Dr. Kodukula’s book titled Organizational Project Portfolio Management: A Practitioner’s Guide.
