Last week I blogged about the Best Practice Showcase and one of the presentations from Rabobank. Rabobank’s Programme Office Manager gave an overview of their project management maturity (P3M3 assessment) and how the outcomes from the assessment enabled them to move forward to a proactive not reactive model. Recommendations from their P3M3 assessment:
Setup a process for Portfolio Management
– Setup a process for managing the portfolio of projects
– Focus on Strategic Benefits and the value of projects in relation to them
Develop a strategy to manage the Portfolio
– Ensure decisions are taken around strategic goals (e.g. GFM, IT Ops)
– Manage the Portfolio with intelligent reporting enabling proactive management (e.g. Delivery Map, Benefit Realisation, Earned Value Analysis)
Setup a central point for Portfolio Management
– Setup a Portfolio Management reporting and analysing point which
provides proactive analysis on the Portfolio
To read more about Rabobanks approach to meeting these recommendations, see the presentation here – Best Practice Showcase Presentation from Rabobank
