Over the last decade, the disciplines of PPM have been described, detailed, analyzed and engineered to process perfection. However, in the real world, risk and uncertainty loom large and overly engineered and mechanical PPM processes can paralyze organizations. Some insist on continuing to move slowly and careful to incur the smallest perceived risks. Some insist on moving quickly and have abandoned PPM process as an impediment to change and agility. In this keynote, we look to strike the proper balance of PPM risk and reward, speed and quality and process and practice. Join our panel of analysts as we explore the concept of “Practical PPM”- Gartner’s PPM theme for 2009.
