Breakout sessions

Participants will be randomly assigned to a breakout session to ensure balanced numbers across all discussion areas.  Please come prepared to contribute to any of the 5 areas.

1. Business Case Development:  what information do we need about a new request, how do we make an informed decision as to whether and when it should move forward?
2. Resource Management:  who have we got, what skills do they have, which projects do they need to work on;  this group will discuss capacity management across a limited set of resources.
3. Work Plan Creation:  how do we select from the list of approved initiatives to actually build a portfolio schedule?  How good does our estimating and resource identification need to be to support creation?
4. Work Plan Management:  once we have built a schedule, how do we manage the inevitable change and get accurate status updates?
5. Metrics and Reporting:  what do we capture to report on progress and change to our senior leaders?  How do we assess performance at the end of a quarter or year?
