Episode 197: PPM is Not Easy, Part 1

Published: April 12, 2010, 11:44 a.m.

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, "PPM is Not Easy, Part 1," presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. There are many that claim that the concept of project portfolio management is an easy concept to grasp and they compare management of a project portfolio to the management of a financial portfolio. Really! This is the first of a three part series that suggests PPM is not that easy afterall.

The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo presents, “Unrealistic Deadlines." Some would argue that the majority of projects have "schedule slippage" as a normal end result rather than an exception to the rule. The challenge of many project managers becomes to find alternate approaches to the tasks and schedules in order to complete a project "on time", or to get approval for slipping dates out.
