Project Portfolio Management

MBA Research & Paper

I love reading books on new project management techniques as much as some people like watching sports. I am currently reading Critical Chain Project Management by Lawrence P. Leach and will post a review once I complete it.

BRIDGING FINANCIAL AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This paper illustrates the significant potential loss of net present value (NPV) from the project portfolio of a large organization, due to siloed, yet otherwise successful, implementation of both financial and project management functions. A project pipeline of 11 active projects and three prioritization methods was used to demonstrate value produced by bridging the gap between financial management and project management.
