Whether you’re a master practitioner of project execution or just learning the ropes, you likely understand that speed and reliability are usually powerful drivers of project impact. But few of us are taught much about the discipline of maximizing this impact, as that would require additional techniques designed to help us engineer the most “bang for the buck” possible. Not many of us are taught to think of projects in such ROI terms, as the traditional project-management world has focused more on “delivering within plan,” and the Agile world has focused more on “delivering value frequently,” hoping that these will somehow translate into maximum-impact results.
Once we focus on how we might maximize the returns on our project portfolio investments, we can apply techniques designed to amplify this impact, and uncover enormous opportunities to multiply it by 2X, 4X, even 10X or more. Imagine the impact you could have if you were able to multiply your project portfolio’s ROI—this session will show you that multiplying your impact in such a dramatic way is feasible, and within your grasp.
