Executive Briefing: Program and Portfolio Management

Shaping your Performance

The support of company officers in leading the portfolio and program management effort can significantly improve the overall performance of projects in the enterprise.

In this half-day executive briefing, attendees are introduced to the life cycles for program and portfolio management, the process of building the portfolio capability, the importance of their roles in governance, and the discipline that comes with working within capacity. Specific examples will illustrate how this discipline will drive a direct increase in both the number of projects completed each year, and in overall business performance.

This Briefing will give leaders a framework for understanding their role in building, supporting, and sustaining an effective portfolio and program management infrastructure. Attendees will leave the course with key tools they will use for governance of the portfolio, and examine the key questions all executives should be asking about the portfolio and program management process.
Attendees should come to this course prepared with an inventory of projects in the organization.

This Executive briefing is part of the Organization Project Management (OPM) Series of seminars offered by Cadence. As with all Cadence offerings, the course format emphasizes practical and straightforward techniques to facilitate retention and immediate application after the seminar.
