Prioritize and Evaluate Competing Investments—Scenarios
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) Scenario: The CIO of Woodgrove Bank, Jay
Jamison, receives an e-mail notification from Dana Birkby, the PMO director at
Woodgrove, indicating that business cases for two more major projects have just been
submitted: one for an online customer mortgage system, and another to roll out a
wireless CRM solution to the sales field.
With more than 100 other project proposals already submitted, Jay needs to objectively
prioritize the project portfolio, as he will not have the budget and resources to select
from all those project requests. Jay knows that whatever projects are funded, they must
be able to show they are aligned with Woodgrove Bank’s business strategy.
