Why Businesses Should Be Using PPM

By Ian Needs


Using effective project portfolio management (PPM) software can help make the lives of project managers and executives much easier as well as making the work more professionally rewarding. Most importantly PPM can help your business align its project workload to easily meet strategic goals, while reducing the amount of time, cost and resources you use.

The software is designed to improve a company's organisational and efficiency skills when dealing with a large amount of projects by collecting all the information. A PPM can then workout the most efficient ways to reduce the amount of time, resources and costs for each project by sorting them in terms of priority depending on certain criteria including the strategic value, the impact on resources and price.

Objectives
While portfolio methods may vary greatly from business to business, the goals they are trying to achieve in order to create a more successful company remain the same. PPM is designed to benefit your company, making your goals easily achievable.


1) With PPM software you will be able to allocate resources to maximise the value of a portfolio via a number of key objectives such as profitability and acceptable risk.
2) It allows your company to get the most out of your team and resources and receive the best results while keeping costs down.
3) Stay on top of every project, balancing the work accordingly and ensuring you're always conscious of the individual listings in the portfolio.
4) Your company can become more efficient and organised with PPM software as it allows sensible sorting, adding and removing of items from the collection based on their benefits, costs, and alignment with your long term goals.

Total project control
It uses periodic processes to approve and update the priority of projects, tasks and resources for you, giving you total control of your projects with a range of benefits.

1) PPM software ensures you achieve a desired balance of projects, allowing your team to spread their time evenly and ensuring they're aware of the individual listings in the portfolio.
2) Keep on top of customer projects and receive the best results from your team, while keeping costs to a minimum.
3) Become a more efficient organisation by using PPM software to add, remove and sort tasks from your portfolio list based on their benefit, costs and their alignment with your company's long term aspirations.
4) You have the control to allocate resources and maximise the value of each portfolio via key objectives including acceptable rise and profitability.
