| Description: | The Enterprise Project Management briefing is designed to give delegates an understanding of what is Enterprise Project Management and the major business benefits accruing from implementation. It also reviews the challenges of implementing this approach and gaining benefit from it.
The briefing commences with an overview of programmes, projects and methodologies and the current situation with regard to project management tools. The session then continues with a review of single user tools such as MS Project and the limitations that arise which indicate a need for an Enterprise Project Management approach. MS Project Server is then used to demonstrate what functionality Enterprise Project Management provides and how this functionality can deliver key business benefits. Recommended strategies are then presented for proper planning, phased rollout and assessment of business benefits.
There is ample opportunity for discussion of existing problems and examination of hoped-for benefits.
