Renowned portfolio management thought leader Stuart Easton delivers a masterclass on portfolio/project prioritisation. The session discusses the fundamentals of effective prioritisation, key business and cultural factors for prioritisation success, and different methods of project prioritisation. It also explores the importance of strategic alignment, resource allocation, and project lifecycle stages in prioritisation.

This week we again take a look back to the PMO Leadership Symposium hosted by Pledge Consulting last August. This week we revisit the Panel Discussion. We were lucky enough to have Project Management veterans, Amany Nuieibeh, Nicola Wilson & Dr Louis Taborda talk about their experiences of shifting from a face to face management experience to having to manage their teams in a new way. As well as talking though some of the challenges, we also heard that there are many benefits to remote working and we even toyed with the thought that there will be no path back to were we were pre-covid in terms of working practices.

We had some fantastic speakers and learned a lot about how PMOs and project delivery teams pivoted this year, to do things differently but to still get the outcomes they needed.
