Managing the Project Portfolio

Presented by: Johanna Rothman, author of the highly acclaimed Hiring the Best Knowledge Workers, Techies & Nerds

Whether you provide software to an enterprise of 10 or 10 million, or to external customers, you have too many projects in your queue. If you have not yet been able to organize the project portfolio and accomplish enough, this presentation will help you understand some helpful techniques.

Johanna Rothman discusses all the kinds of work your group takes in, and which questions to ask to see if that work should even be done at all. Then we'll explore techniques for project prioritization, and a bit about how to deal with the inevitable push-and-pull across the organization when others are dissatisfied with your prioritization. You'll see a project portfolio plan at the highest level and the lowest level, and see how to apply rolling wave planning to your project portfolio.
