Host: Dharam Singh, Leading PMP, PgMP & PfMP Mentor
Question: Portfolio Management: To manage a portfolio effectively, there needs to be a clear mission - aka, a solid understanding of what the end goal looks like. Once that’s defined, the next step is to build the road map, driven by strategic benefits and objectives, to reach that final blueprint. Could you walk us through your process?
(i) How do you define the mission, vision, and road map?
(ii) Once that’s set, how do you choose and prioritize the right projects within the portfolio?
(iii) What’s your approach to evaluating risk vs. ROI vs. resources vs. time scales when making those decisions?
Description:
