Portfolio and Program Management Agenda

Symposium/ITxpo 2009 is organized according to nine IT leadership roles. Each track includes targeted sessions and networking opportunities to transform your organization's IT strategies.

For Program & Portfolio Management Leaders, Symposium/ITxpo 2009 will answer:
  • How can I create an optimal portfolio of programs and projects that deliver the most value at the least cost?
  • What new approaches to valuing and prioritizing projects do I need to use to ensure I’m delivering the right mix for the business?
  • How can I build flexibility and agility into my programs, so that my enterprise can capitalize on, or mitigate the risk of, today's volatile and fast-changing business environment?

Program and portfolio management leaders have extraordinary influence over what actually gets done in business technology – or at least you should. After all, it’s your job to value, prioritize, and then see through your enterprise’s key initiatives. In today’s tough economy, it can be more challenging than ever, and requires new approaches. This track focuses on how to create an optimal portfolio, new approaches to valuing and prioritizing projects, and building flexibility and agility into programs to mitigate risk and increase opportunity.
