Project management methodology
When more and more projects run in parallel in an organisation, leading each of them well is no longer enough. It also has to be clear how they connect to strategic goals, which initiatives create the most value, and how the available resources should be shared between them. Project portfolio management helps create a system for that. On the course we go through the concepts of programme and portfolio management, the full process model, and the related roles, tasks and responsibilities.
Maturity stages and their main features · Main areas of impact and ways to develop project culture · The dynamics of change and development · The place and role of programme and portfolio management in the system
The place of programme management in delivering strategy · How project, programme and portfolio management relate · The operating and impact areas of programme management, based on PMI · Roles, tasks and responsibilities linked to a programme · Conditions for introducing a programme management system
Core portfolio management processes · Portfolio-level project monitoring, controlling and performance measurement · Portfolio resource management · Portfolio management roles · Possible organisational positions for the project management office · Introducing and developing a portfolio management system
If, alongside your project manager role, you would also take responsibility at programme or portfolio level.
If your work means carrying several projects at the same time and keeping them aligned.
If you want a deeper understanding of maximising business value, reducing the overall risk of the portfolio, and optimising critical resources.
The programme requires prior knowledge: a broad understanding of the concepts, processes and practice of project management. We recommend it to people who already have practical experience leading projects and/or programmes, or who take a significant role in organisational project management.
