Project & Portfolio Management
Our Core Business
Nonetheless, many companies are still struggling in implementing efficient project and portfolio management to deliver full value from projects. Different factors may explain this paradox
External Factors
1. A competitive environment increases the pressure on firms to improve their time-to-market, product quality, cost, and rentability, this in turn requires firms to have state-of-the-art project execution.
2. Project complexity is raising exponentially on various dimensions such as:
– Product complexity and requirements
– Organisational complexity
– Process complexity
3. A scarcity of materials and human resources puts the system under pressure as there is an increase in the number and variety of projects occurring in parallel
Internal Factors
1. Project & portfolio management is too often not mature enough with:
– Lack of sound implementation of key processes (e.g. risk management)
– Poor integration between disciplines (e.g. cost / schedule consistency)
2. Project & portfolio processes are sometimes not fully adapted to companies’ specificities (product, size, maturity).
3. Project and portfolio management does not rely on robust decision-making or prioritisation processes.
4. Project and portfolio management are still suffering from poor connection to or integration with technical processes (e.g. configuration management, product maturity measurement)
