CAREER DEV | USC Bovard College Lecture Series: Portfolio Management
Components of portfolios typically provide status on the deliverables of their work. Rarely do they provide status on the benefits that they are delivering to the portfolio and organization which is what the stakeholders really want to know. Portfolio managers must show the value of their organization by translating project and program deliverable status into portfolio benefit delivery status. Attendees will learn how to translate project and program deliverable status into the benefit delivery information that stakeholders really want to see.
Agenda
- Definitions of benefits and enablement
- Strategic Alignment
- Translating the work into benefit value
