Contributed by: Gartner PPM Summit and Gartner Group

 

Organizations have all increased their focus on investments, and value-for-money. For many, this means increasing project reviews and health checks for performance, and conformance to plan and budget. These activities are wide of the mark for investment reviews. This session will focus on the need for, and the contents of, executive reviews of major initiatives that assess what benefits and value are likely achievable – at the time of delivery. These reviews are action-oriented, reviewing initiative evolution, how the results will fit (or not) future scenarios; and taking effective decisions to “sell” or “hold” the initiative.
Key Issues:
  • What should executives look for in an initiative investment review?
  • What does the process of review look like, end-to-end?
  • What are the roles of PPM leaders in facilitating these reviews?

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
