Too often the expectation is that
you’ll do more projects with less staff, less budget – in the
same or shorter time frame. Meanwhile, the pipeline is clogged,
people are burnt out, and nobody knows where to begin. Given the
current economy (and cutbacks), this situation could get even
worse.
But what if this phrase meant more throughput with
less in the pipeline? Or more results with less
rigidity? Organizations that have re-thought their pipeline,
portfolio and project management systems are, in fact, seeing
dramatic improvements in the bottom line. By reducing the number
of projects, using agile approaches, and effectively sharing
resources across teams, they are able to achieve remarkable
growth without increasing costs. Morale is high.
How did they do it? How can you?
To give you answers and implementation details, Management
Roundtable is bringing together leading product development
experts and practitioners at Pipeline & Portfolio Management:
Balancing Multiple Projects with Limited Resources on
September 24-26, 2001 in Chicago.
Sessions will cover strategic alignment, overcoming
organizational and political obstacles, decision-making methods,
resource management alternatives, IT systems, communication, and
more. Best practices will be shared – as will mistakes to avoid
and the challenges ahead. Informal discussion breakouts,
networking opportunities, and a choice of optional pre- and
post-conference workshops are also offered to give you specific,
one-on-one recommendations for your unique requirements. Review
the agenda for a quick overview.
