Project Portfolio from Scratch
for Business Value Maximization
No matter how fast you are, you will not be a winner when you run in the wrong direction. That’s why it’s more important to do the right projects than to do projects right.
What does it mean to have the right projects?
It means that:
- the project is in line with the company strategy,
- the project is feasible,
- the benefits of the project realization outweigh the costs, and
- these benefits are the greatest of all alternative projects.
Creating a publishing house due to the company’s developed competence in writing internal quality standards for the produced engine block castings is certainly not in line with the company strategy. Although perhaps the publishing house could bring measurable benefits, its creation is not in line with the automotive, industrial enterprise goals.
Starting a project that overloads the project team will lead to numerous delays or much higher implementation costs. It will not be completed in the worst case, leading to a waste of the company’s funds.
Sometimes the implementation of a project seems so exciting that its start cannot wait, regardless of the circumstances. This often happens according to the principle: hurry up, before we all come to our senses! The enthusiasm of the team is, unfortunately, not often shared by the business. To avoid disappointment, it is better to verify the business case a priori than post factum.
What if there are more ideas for the projections than resources to implement them? After all, it is possible to realize all projects a bit slower, but is it worth it?
This course if for you, if you are not sure:
- What exactly is the business value of each project?
- How to maintain a balanced and strategically aligned portfolio in the context of changing conditions?
- How to reduce costs by removing overlapping, poorly performing and non-strategically aligned projects and programs?
- How to use more efficient and effective your limited resources, by matching demand and supply, and optimizing allocation of available resources?
- How to increase the realization of forecast benefits as well as identification & realization of untapped benefits to create additional value?
- How to improve the delivery of projects and program?
I will teach you step-by-step on how to compose your project portfolio maximizing delivery of business value. You will learn how to SELECT, PRIORITIZE and CONTROL all your projects in dynamically changing condition.

High Effective Project Management from Scratch
for Business Value Maximization
What does this mean that the project was successful?
Is it when the objectives were achieved?
“The surgery was successful (goal achieved), but we suspend further surgeries due to cost overruns until further notice”.
Maybe success is when the project has not exceeded the planned time, budget and scope? “The surgery was successful (within time, budget and scope) but the patient died”.
Hmm… Okay, then why do we start a project at all? THE ULTIMATE REASON IS TO GENERATE BUSINESS VALUE!
Why?
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE NO MATERIAL GOODS THAT CUSTOMERS WANT. WHAT THEY VALUE IS THE EFFECT THAT THESE GOODS HAVE.
The project will therefore be successful when it delivers the expected business value. Business value is not a profit and loss account. Business value is the ratio of satisfying the client’s tangible and intangible needs to the resources used for this purpose. In this course, I will show you how to calculate the business value of a project easily.
Okay, but what to do to achieve this success?
If a project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result*, then why do we tend to manage it not in a unique way?
To ensure reproducible results, we need repetitive processes – someone said.
The effectiveness and determination in applying this strategy is confirmed by research! 64% of projects fail every year*. Interestingly, both losers and winners use repetitive processes to manage projects. The problem is that they are only appropriate for 36% of projects.
This means that 64% of the projects screw up in at least one of the following areas:
- Planning
- Organising
- Leading
- Controlling
Some projects should be managed using traditional methods, others using agile or hybrid methods. The choice of method depends on the degree of knowledge of the objective and solution in the project. In this course, you will learn how to choose the right method for your project.
Some projects function better in a matrix structure, others in a project or external project organisation. Sounds complicated? Luckily some tools will allow you to make the right choice easily.
Some projects will require an army of team members, while just a few experts will more effectively implement others. If you hope to learn in this course how to compose your team correctly, then… you are right!
There are also universal rules, such as frequent contact with the client and their satisfaction. Why? Because it is the sole reason why the project exists at all!
Do you want to know more, and how to translate this knowledge into project success?
