Course Description:

'' Increasingly, project management is seen as a mechanism for the implementation of organisational strategy. Organisations are undertaking large numbers of projects concurrently, in an effort to provide linkage between strategy and real organisational change.

Organisations need to develop a portfolio approach to undertaking projects, identifying the criteria for project selection and prioritisation and applying it to the range of possible projects to ensure that strategic intent is realised.Portfolio Management is concerned with ensuring that we are doing the right projects.

While it remains important to get the basic project management disciplines right, the issue is also to find a way to co-ordinate all these projects and the contention for resource between them. The solution to this lies in the practice of Programme Management, the management of multiple projects, taking advantage of economies of scale, knowledge reuse and resource management.
