projects presents some unique challenges.
This course will give you a model and practical tools and techniques
to manage effectively in a multi-project environment.

face unique challenges in completing projects successfully. They
must satisfy a diverse group of internal and external stakeholders,
while often relying on people and other resources that are not under

perspectives; leading the project team, leading beyond the team, and
leadership and the PM process tools.

Portfolio Management – Selecting and Evaluating Projects – 1 day
In today’s environment of

and process improvements are essential. How does an executive choose
from a sometimes large and competing array of possible project
investments in light of the strategic goals of the organization?
Leaders in IT, Engineering and other functions often deal with tens
or hundreds of projects, all of which demand scarce funding and
resources. The burgeoning field of Portfolio Management offers the
concepts and tools to make sound, consistent decisions about which
projects to approve, as well as methods to continually track and
evaluate the ongoing relevance and success of projects over time.
