Think about the people you identified for your Project Portfolio project and the project responsibilities you would assign to them. what kind of training do you think they would need to perform these responsibilities effectively? Are we making progress? and are we making progress as Project Portfolio leaders? How does the Project Portfolio Management manager ensure against scope creep? What will drive Project Portfolio change? Do we all define Project Portfolio Management in the same way?

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role... In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

For more than twenty years, The Art of Service's Self-Assessments empower people who can do just that - whether their title is marketer, entrepreneur, manager, salesperson, consultant, business process manager, executive assistant, IT Manager, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are people who watch the process as it happens, and ask the right questions to make the process work better.

This book is for managers, advisors, consultants, specialists, professionals and anyone interested in Project Portfolio assessment.

Featuring 621 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Project Portfolio improvements can be made.

In using the questions you will be better able to:

- diagnose Project Portfolio projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

- implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

- integrate recent advances in Project Portfolio and process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines

Using a Self-Assessment tool known as the Project Portfolio Scorecard, you will develop a clear picture of which Project Portfolio areas need attention.

Included with your purchase of the book is the Project Portfolio Self-Assessment downloadable resource, containing all 621 questions and Self-Assessment areas of this book.
