where the work gets done

Managing work is one of the biggest challenges facing today's executives. On-demand, collaborative Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions provide a platform for managing demand, staffing, user-roles, resource management, estimating, reporting, document management, and other tasks.

Through effective PPM, business leaders and project managers gain insight and control over people and processes.

Successful PPM tools and methods establish a set of values, techniques and technologies that enable visibility, standardization, measurement and process improvement. Extended Resources PPM consultation enables organizations to manage the continuous flow of projects from concept to completion.

 

Defining "Project"

A project can be viewed as a composite of resources such as skilled labor, hardware and software, and the opportunity cost of deferring other project work. Project Portfolio Management (PPM) treats project management projects as part of an overall project investment portfolio.

Although PPM is often associated with IT, PPM is ultimately a subset of corporate portfolio management and should be utilized by any group evaluating and managing discretionary projects.
