A 2-day, 14 PDU (1.4 CEU) instructor-led program
This
powerful program shows you how to charter projects - how to think about
project priority in order to choose the right projects: avoid the bad ones,
hold off on the questionable ones, and quickly launch the profitable ones. The
program emphasizes the on-going relationship between a project's need to
balance scope, schedule, and cost and the organization's need to achieve its
strategic objectives.
For an individual project, you will explore how to
judge its overall business worth, how to value the product's component
features, and how to report on (and respond to questions about) the project's
business value at the critical phase reviews.
For the project portfolio, you will learn how to rank
projects, how to revise your ranking, and how to get the information you need
to make good decisions about each project in your portfolio.
The program emphasizes tools and techniques that address your
real business needs.
The program includes the latest terminology from The Guide to the Project
Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide®, Third Edition), the only
internationally recognized project management standard

· Assemble a portfolio of the best projects
