About this Presentation
The objectives of this presentation are to: Have participants understand why multi-project critical chain implementations fail and the project portfolio management and executive governance model that is necessary for a lasting, high impact, organization-wide critical chain implementation. Benefits to attendees include: 1. Learning how to recognize the red flags related to executive behavior within multi-project critical chain implementations. 2. Exposure to the 8 step project portfolio management process that sets the stage for successful critical chain / multi-project governance. 3. Understanding how to use an assessment on the front-end of a multi-project critical chain implementation to build executive understanding and buy-in.
