Project Portfolio Management: More Crucial than Ever

New research from PM Solutions shows the dramatic growth in PPM: nearly 90% of companies report either having PPM processes in place, or planning to implement them within the year. Download the report here, and be sure to view our on-demand webinar that provides added color commentary on key findings such as:

• The PMO is increasingly the organizational home for PPM
• As firms improve capability in PPM, they see a corresponding leap in ROI
• Resource management issues are a key pain point, even for more capable PPM practices.

This white paper from Oracle describes the challenges that enterprises face in properly managing projects – the driver of 25% of the GDP of developed nations.

The UK-based Chartered Institute of Management Accountants promotes PPM as a tool for “turbulent times” in this research summary, which uses case studies to identify six key practices for today’s PPM.
