Professional Development Days 2022: Education Day - Class 4

Bringing Agile, Project Management and Portfolio Management Together

Many organizations struggle to maintain a project management environment that encompasses the different requirements from different levels of the organization.  Tactical users request day-to-day Agile structures.  Executives at the Strategic Level need long term planning for projects and personnel that aren’t even in the company yet.  In the middle project managers have to transform the vision of management into swallowable pieces for the end users and summarize progress to make it useful for organizational decisions.  In this course, we’ll look at how to distinguish the different perspectives of the Strategic, Operational and Tactical Levels into one process where data is integrated when needed and independent when not.

In this session you will leave with tools they can apply immediately in distinguishing project management perspectives into three levels and showing how to create an environment that can allow for different processes to tie together when that is effective.  This includes:

  • How to identify the project management needs of executives at the Strategic level;
  • How to include the needs of project and resource managers at the Operational level and;
  • How to include the needs of Tactical users in an Agile format.
