Organizational Project Portfolio Management

"We have implemented the methodology presented in this book, and it's been very helpful to me. The book presents numerous PPM tools for project selection, project ranking, data visualization, etc., and has case study exercises that are highly practical and helpful in illustrating how the methodology and tools presented in the book can be used. It is a valuable tool for implementing portfolio management in any company in any industry!" -Bea Swanepoel, Portfolio Manager, Anglo American plc; "Organizational Project Portfolio Management fills a gap for PPM by providing an end-to-end process and literally stringing all the concepts, tools, and techniques into a coherent, flowing whole. I believe that without this book it would have been hugely difficult to convey to students the holistic sense of the PPM discipline. I examined other books and although the PMI standard was there I did not think that any of them introduced project portfolio management in a way that this book does. As an instructor developing a PPM course, discovering this book was a life saver!"-Nadeem Malik, Adjunct Faculty, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA; "Dr. Kodukula has created a reference that offers a concise methodology and a myriad of tools for managing the complex world of portfolio management." -Todd Beard, PMO Leader, Dow Chemical; "This book is lucid and cogent in its presentation, and offers a highly practical methodology and tools (including case studies that mimic real world portfolios) for portfolio management." -Ernest Esdelle, PMP, Engineering Manager, The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago; "Due to both the innovative approaches and the compelling manner in which they are organized I expect that this book will have a significant impact on the practice of project portfolio management in industry. I highly recommend it to project management colleagues and business leaders-the recommendations it makes will have lasting effects on driving business value for shareholders and customers." -Doug Campbell, PMP, Sr. Director, PMO & Strategy, Stryker; "The methodology and tools presented are highly valuable for portfolio management professionals. It has clear arguments, reasoning, and sound and practical tools, tips and guidelines on how to successfully manage an investment portfolio as an indispensible ingredient to extract optimum value from the portfolio of projects and to achieve strategic goals and objectives." -Hannes vd Merwe, General Manager, Postbank Savings Operations & Head, Postbank PMO, Pretoria, South Africa; Organizational Project Portfolio Management is a compelling recipe for creating, organizing, and executing a portfolio management process. It is a one-stop, quick reference, and a must read!" -Brent Lalomia, Senior Director, PMO & Business Process Improvement, Stryker; "If you are just beginning the process of portfolio management, or need to fix the way you are currently doing it, this pragmatic guide will help you. It is an actionable work on how to implement portfolio management in any organization." -J. LeRoy Ward, PMP, PgMP, CSM, President, Ward Associates
