DYNM 643 - Overcoming Organizational Barriers to Success

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Bayney. This course examines the fundamental raison d'etre of Project Portfolio Management and its relationships with other organizational disciplines. It is not a course designed to teach individuals how to practice Project, Program or Portfolio Management. Rather, it is a course designed to place Project Portfolio Management front and center of organizational survival and to educate practitioners on how to create strategies for its long-term survival and institutionalization. In today's cost cutting and outsourcing environment, organizations are struggling to continue to grow and create value from declining resource constraints, whether human or budgetary in origin. This places a greater level of importance and burden on Project Portfolio Management but, in so doing, serves to threaten the traditional domains of moreestablished functions that have carefully protected their influential territory for countless decades.
