Project Portfolio Management

Project Portfolio Management and the realization that strategic alignment of all projects within an organization is crucial are both gaining ground. And this realization also emphasizes the need for having solid project selection methods.

But how exactly do you do all of this? The number of books that focus on practical advice for implementing a strategic project portfolio management process is quite small. Lucky for us that a new one with exactly that focus has just been published

The new book is titled Project Portfolio Management in Theory and Practice: Thirty Case Studies from around the World (Best Practices and Advances in Program Management) written by Jamal Moustafaev (https://ca.linkedin.com/in/jmoustafaev). In our discussion, we answer these questions:

What is project portfolio management?
What are the three pillars of strategic PPM?
What are some project selection models that support a company's strategy?
How do we achieve strategic alignment?

Question:

I did my certification on 6th April 2014. Now it's time for renewal. Recently, I did 2 activities. How can I claim PDUs and which category do I select? I am confused please help me.

1) I read Steady Project Management in the real world, which I claimed in Education under Read category but it's rejected (Please provide documentation verifying the hours spent in this activity or the units of credit advertised) How can I provide proof?

2) Recently, I gave a 2-day training to my company employees about project management. How can I claim this and which category do I select for this? Please suggest.

Thanks,

Nagaraju

PDU Podcast Student Testimonial

"The PDU Podcast is a great way to earn PDUs and I would recommend this for all project managers. I listen to a lot of podcasts so being able to receive PDUs this way makes this the simplest method I have used for obtaining them. I can watch it on my own schedule, in any location I choose. As opposed to other sessions I have attended, these podcasts feel more like you are in an interactive discussion on the topic. The content is high quality increasing the value of each PDU which is already great. I’m looking forward to the next month’s episode. Great job with this product!"
