Project, Program and Portfolio Management

• Early identification of project ideas and products that meet market needs and fit company strategy.
• Support and facilitate innovation.
• Evaluate, prioritize, and plan projects while making the best use of business resources and know-how.
• Manage projects, teams, and information systems with the best balance between fluidity, flexibility, and rigor.
• Be positioned to react and remain agile, while optimizing costs, quality, and deadlines.
• Include geographically and culturally diverse participants who possess very different skills and backgrounds.
• Ensure transition and convergence between project and product.

PCO Innovation will advise and accompany you in the implementation of PLM & PPM best practices:

PLM = Product Lifecycle Management
PPM = Project Portfolio Management

When combined, PPM and PLM can be used to :

• Ensure continuity from project conception to conceptualization to final product.
• Reconcile PPM’s time-based structure with PLM versioning.
• Share different views of the same concept (project or product) among different roles.
• Share the document lifecycle between an inherently time-based project outlook and commitment to a long-term product structure.
• Define and track appropriate indicators that can be used to measure project and product performance.

The project-based approach is often localized. Migrating towards global visions and information systems provides several benefits:

• An increase in project management efficiency.
• A portfolio-based approach.
• New possibilities for integration with PLM.
