Project Management

Imagine Chefs in a busy restaurant preparing meals where no formal processes and/or tools exist to manage orders. Servers shout orders as they enter the kitchen. No one would know who was working on which meals, how much to cook or which orders to start first. Meals would be late or incomplete and food would be wasted. The restaurant would be out of business in a hurry.

Project Managers are under pressure to guide their teams to deliver multiple projects while at the same time managing stakeholder expectations and providing clear and timely communication. Projects vary in duration, scope, complexity and priority.

A Project Portfolio Management (PPM) approach allows organizations to manage projects in a central repository.
