Workshop: Performance-driven portfolio management - Alexandre Rodrigues
Why attend?
As Edwards Deming stated in the mid-90s “In God we trust, all others bring data”. From its inception project management science and practice has always been based on the use of objective data to inform decision-making, primarily based on the Earned Value Management (EVM). Performance-driven management, based on objective data, stimulates transparency, enables informed decision-making based on insights, and fosters a proactive and collaborative management culture. However, this approach has often found resistance due to both lack of organizational management maturity and difficulty in having access to reliable project performance data in real time and with quality. With the advent of digital transformation and the emergence of data and insight-drive organizations (IDOs), an opportunity has been created for portfolio management to become performance-driven based on objective project and program data and insights. But how to implement this framework? What performance metrics and indices should be produced and what data must be collected? How to derive insights from these indices, metrics and data, to inform decision-making at all levels in the portfolio?
