- An intensive hands-on workshop that focuses on a practical portfolio management methodology and offers high value tools, techniques, and best practices

As organizations reach higher levels of maturity in managing projects individually, they shift their focus to managing them collectively as project portfolios using project portfolio management (PPM) process. This transition seems to occur when the organization realizes that projects are investments – not expenditures – requiring justification that they are aligned with organizational goals and will create value for the owners and other stakeholders of the organization. Managing project investments collectively brings coherence to implementing the strategic as well as operational initiatives and helps the organization create sustainable value in the long run. This course provides you with tools, techniques, and best practices for managing project portfolios. It offers a “how to” methodology to design, build, and manage a portfolio.

- All participants will receive a complimentary copy of Dr. Kodukula’s new book Organizational Portfolio Management: A Practitioner’s Guide, published in 2014 worth of $59.95

Delegates will receive 30 PDUs (Professional Development Units) from this four-day course.
