Project Portfolio Management
Project Portfolio Management
With a line of sight from strategy to delivery, Planview’s project portfolio management solution enables leaders to optimize program and project portfolios, balance capacity against demand, prioritize work, focus resources, and empower teams to deliver.
Modern project portfolio management approaches let you empower your teams with the right work experience and tools for the type of work being delivered – waterfall projects, iterative, collaborative, Lean-Agile. This work can be tied back into the integrated strategy and portfolio plans, enabling stakeholder visibility and organizational alignment.
Overview
Planview’s Project Portfolio Management journey enables your organization to transform how you orchestrate, prioritize, and coordinate value from strategy to delivery. Business outcomes include:
- Strategic Roadmaps — Define and create organization-wide, cross-functional, strategic roadmaps that are translated into actionable and quantitative plans.
- Program Planning — Assess and prioritize ideas then group them into funded initiatives (programs) that will deliver the roadmap, understanding the impact of trade-offs and decisions.
- Work Delivery — Provide team members with the right tools to suit their way of working, while retaining visibility.
- Program Management — Measure program execution against strategy and realization of the roadmap, identifying issues and roadblocks to the achievement of the roadmaps.
- Portfolio Visibility — Projects reporting variances in scope, budget, dates, or quality can be brought under control to mitigate the risks for the achievement of on-time project delivery.
