Steve will be presenting, "A Simple Approach to Understanding and Assessing Project and Portfolio Managment - The PPM S.C.A.D Model A recent analyst study found that 75% of organizations are “doing Project and Portfolio Management (PPM).” This finding could lead many to believe all is well with this strategic enterprise business process that is so essential to project success. This is hardly the case as studies also show that PPM is still generally immature in enterprises today. Though almost every organization will lay claim to doing PPM, few are actually doing it right. Many of these organizations will continue to flounder until they comprehend and appreciate the full scope and potential of PPM, and determine where their organization stands. I spent most of the past five years traveling around the world visiting one PPM-challenged enterprise after another. I encountered countless approaches to and variations of PPM. To help organizations understand and assess their capability in this critical business process, I developed the “PPM S.C.A.D. Model.” This presentation provides an overview of the S.C.A.D. model that quickly and simply describes PPM. Attendees will be able to use this model to understand the nature and potential of PPM and to engage their organizations in a discussion and assessment of their PPM capability. |
