Project Portfolio Management Tom Westcott, CEO Project Solutions Group Agenda What is Portfolio Management? Aligning projects to business strategy The project selection process When do you terminate an existing project? Demonstration of Microsoft UMT product Becoming a PPM Organization What is Project Portfolio Management? Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a discipline used to manage a grouping of projects, resources and assets, to effectively achieve organizational goals. PPM is a Solution to a Problem The biggest problems organizations face in achieving their objectives: Not realizing the benefits promised from projects Competing and changing priorities on projects Not enough resources to complete all projects Project delays and budget overruns PPM is a Solution to a Problem PPM should help organizations: Maximize organizational benefits from projects Choose the right projects Ensure adequate resources to complete projects Increase project success rate Defining Strategic Goals/Objectives Defining strategic goals and objectives is critical to being able to effectively manage a project portfolio. Strategic goals and objectives help to: • determine which project work should and should not be done • Prioritize project work • Establish metrics for measuring portfolio success Linking Strategy to Portfolio Management Goals Strategies Projects Buy and integrate Company X Buy and integrate Company Y Acquisitions Grow to $2B Develop Sales Channels in Europe Implement 3 additional sales channels Establish survey programs Improve Customer Satisfaction Build Customer Survey Program Increase Market Share Build industry leading competency in X Increase direct marketing efforts Build online survey tools Fund university collaborative Build recruitment program Develop catalog Execute direct marketing campaign Symptoms of Defective Strategic Planning Project and resource managers often fight over resources Project priorities and resource assignments change frequently Managers have authority to unilaterally start projects Projects are started without regard to resource availability Completed projects do not produce expected results By the time change is implemented, it is obsolete There is no single view of all projects how they relate to strategic goals Significant turnover at the senior management level The strategic objectives are a list of initiatives without priorities, benefit analysis, dates or sequencing Symptoms of Defective Strategic Planning If an organization is constantly changing project priorities, this is a red flag that the entire strategic planning process is out of control! Defining the Portfolio The portfolio of projects exists only to deliver results for the strategic goals of the organization. This involves a top-down planning approach. When project are identified outside of the strategic planning process, they must be evaluated against the strategic objectives and then against the current portfolio. Project Portfolio Prioritization (forced) Purpose of prioritizing your project portfolio is to determine which projects: should be done can be done get funded start when get terminated get strategic (scarce) resources Align Investment to Strategy Optimization of project selection promotes strategic priorities Optimized Unaligned Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Consider these 2 scenarios: Scenario 1 – Resource A is working on 2 projects simultaneously (50% on each). Scenario 2 – Resource A works on one project (at 100%) and then begins the second project when the first is complete. Resource A (50%) Resource A (50%) Resource A Resource A (100%) (100%) Ongoing Measurement & Analysis ‘Just by observing a system, you change its behavior’ – the Observer Effect, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle “The purpose of a measurement system is to drive the parts to do what is good for the system as a whole.” – Dr. Eli Goldratt, Theory of Constraints “To be able to manage, you must be able to control, and to be able to control, you must be able to measure. Thus, if you cannot measure, you cannot control and if you cannot control you cannot manage!” Ongoing Measurement & Analysis Since measurement changes and affects behavior, it is critical to choose the right measures and apply them in the right way to achieve the desired results. One of the biggest failures of organizations is measuring the wrong factors. “Tell me how you measure me, and I will tell you how I will behave. If my measurements are unclear, then no one can predict how I will behave, not even me!” – Dr. Eli Goldratt What is Project Portfolio Management? “Alignment is the essence of management” Fred Smith, Chairman Federal Express Management Discipline – improves alignment between strategy planning and business/IT; strengthens governance; improves project definition, portfolio selection, resource planning and executive reporting Comprehensive Project Inventory – develops and captures new, ongoing and carryover work centrally to provide transparency around how key Business Drivers are supported and how resources ($/FTE) are dispersed Transparent & Actionable Decisioning Framework – provides ongoing and actionable portfolio analysis and reports to the PPM is a management discipline that helps organizations achieve maximum project portfolio value through the continuous process of evaluating and managing projects against key performance metrics and strategic business objectives. decision-makers to enable improved investment viability and accountability Workflow With Roles & Responsibilities – provides clearly defined Analytical software toolset – leverages toolsets to capture project inventory and to ensure optimal, roles and responsibilities throughout the process and Governance framework consistent and fact-based portfolio selection and planning decisions by simultaneously evaluating and comparing competing project ideas and resource needs (e.g., what-if, sensitivity analysis, optimization, etc.) Request Management Business Case Development Portfolio Prioritization / Valuation Portfolio Optimization / Selection Project Planning Cost Management Resource Management Time Reporting Change Management Issue Management Risk Management Status Reporting Earned Value Analysis Program & Portfolio Reporting Benefits Realization Portfolio & Program Management Governance Process Definition Project Management Business & Technology Stakeholders Organizations Utilize Both Disciplines Portfolio Management answers the following questions: Have I selected the right investments? Do the investments align with the strategic objectives? Do I have sufficient resources to deliver the selected investments? Will the investments be delivered on time and within budget? Are my investments delivering the forecasted benefits? Investment Effectiveness Even with the advent of portfolio management, in use by over 50% of organizations today and better project management techniques, 40% of the value of projects is lost. However companies that have put their focus on “selecting the right projects, the right way, at the right time” are attaining a yield of 90% or more from their projects1.

How are projects currently selected in your organization? 1. Ad Hoc or Random 2. Selected individually on a case by case basis 3. Evaluated against other projects based on financial ROI OR against other projects based on strategic goals 4. Evaluated against other projects based on financial ROI and strategic goals 5. Financial ROI, strategic goals AND optimized, given budget and resource constraints What is your biggest PPM-related concern? 1. Governance (inconsistent PPM governance processes across organization) 2. Monitoring (Lack of reporting/monitoring capabilities) 3. Consistent Valuation (Difficult to compare projects because of inconsistent valuation framework) 4. Alignment (Ineffective processes to align investment ideas to business strategies) 5.

Some business units are even using the tools on non-technology projects. It isn’t fundamentally about cost savings. It’s about resource allocation.” Frank La Rocca – CIO KeySpan Energy Allan Shub – VP Retail Wachovia "…we saved $5 to $10mm [out of a $50mm budget] in the first year alone on projects that would have automatically gone through before.” UMT Portfolio Manager™ “helps agency heads and IT managers to have a greater awareness of all IT projects that are being worked on.“ Tom Runkle – Dir.
