About this Presentation
In some portfolio and pipeline environments rigid application of text-book CCPM can be bureaucratic and unnecessary... and doomed to fail. This was Jan's early experience in trying to use CCPM. He studied what the fundamental drivers were of critical chain and project and portfolio performance in general, and developed his unique approach to project pipeline management, which he believes can be implemented significantly faster than full-blown, multi-project CCPM. In this presentation he will share some of the fundamental insights he has learned, and discuss a pilot implementation where it delivered significant and rapid improvements in portfolio performance.

Jan van Egmond is the Project Management Hacker at Empower Your Projects.
Since 2012 Jan is an independent researcher with the goal to bring the best project management strategies within reach of ordinary project organizations to enable them to match the best project management success stories themselves. His research has resulted in new insights about project organizations (Core of Manifestation), critical factors for project success (4 Basic Needs), human neurologic processes affecting project organization (State of Mind Model), the dynamics of flow in multi-project organizations (Project Pipelines and Interaction of Pipelines) and new frameworks and tools for project organizations (New Project Management Guide, and the Self Learning/Auto Correcting Project Pipeline Manager). In 2019 – 2020 the first pilot case study with a small-medium enterprise, resulted in improving productivity 36% - 49% within 2 months, after a ultra light and short implementation phase (less than 30 minutes per projects, 8 days throughput time). Under the brand Empower Your Projects, Jan van Egvmond offers a Do It Your Self Program for small-medium enterprises for setting up and managing project pipelines and matching the best project management success stories.
