Components of portfolios typically provide status on the deliverables of their work. Rarely do they provide status on the benefits that they are delivering to the portfolio and organization which is what the stakeholders really want to know. Portfolio managers must show the value of their organization by translating project and program deliverable status into portfolio benefit delivery status. Attendees will learn how to translate project and program deliverable status into the benefit delivery information that stakeholders really want to see.
Agenda for this session includes:
Definitions of benefits and enablement
Strategic Alignment
Translating the work into benefits & value
PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen (Strategic and Business Management)
PDUs for this Course: 0.5
