PAIN POINTS MOST HEARD WITHIN ORGANISATIONS Multiple pieces of work competing for limited financial and staffing resources Misaligned strategies within an organisation driving project objectives Competing processes & models for managing and reporting on project progress No prioritisation for selecting the most appropriate projects Lack of process for ensuring that they are consistently re-evaluated during their lifecycle No ability to track progress and ensure accountability for delivery Competing toolsets and systems leading to omissions and duplication of data Project rework and difficulty in cost control with both internal and external staff
PAIN POINTS MOST HEARD WITHIN ORGANISATIONS Lack of any measurement of project benefits post project closure No repository for lessons learned on past projects, leading to repeating the sins from the past Internal rivalry competing for project resources and funding, leading to excessive cost and time overruns Silo s of knowledge held in peoples heads or spreadsheets rather than a centralised organisation wide solution Lack of visioning and direction on where an organisation is going in the next 10+ years
CHALLENGES FACED BY ORGANISATIONS Complete lack of understanding on what Portfolio Management involves: Change management process around portfolio management can be considerable Multiple non integrated systems providing misaligned and confusing data No clear governance policies around the selection and prioritisation of project proposals Competing project methodologies Lack of clarify on roles and responsibilities No view on who is the end customer and what their reporting needs are Lack of a Project Management Office or Governance Review Board to oversee the portfolio
CHALLENGES FACED BY ORGANISATIONS Decisions driven by emotion or political expediency rather than sound governance principles Inconsistency in planning approaches and levels of data, leading to time consuming reconciliations and rework across multiple systems Poor visibility of the resourcing or staffing situations within an organisation Spreadsheet paralysis off system data stores Knowledge repositories in peoples heads, silos of data and job security That s how we have always done it mentality

HIGH LEVEL ARCHITECTURE OF PPM AND SAP ECC PPM sits as its own application above the SAP ECC system, however there is tight integration to the modules listed above. There is the potential to integrate third party applications such as MS Project (Client & Server) and Primavera to assist with projects that require heavy scheduling requirements.
