Project, Program and Portfolio Management

• Early identification of project ideas and products that meet market needs and correspond to company strategy.
• Support and nourish innovation.
• Evaluate, prioritize, and plan projects while making the best use of enterprise resources and know-how.
• Manage projects, teams, and information systems with the best compromise 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 the transition and convergence between the project and product.

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

PLM = Product Life cycle Management
PPM = Project Portfolio Management

When used together, PPM and PLM can be used to :

• Ensure continuity from conception to project 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 oftena localized approach. 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
