Editor's note
There are some best practices around project and portfolio management (PPM) that every IT organization -- from well-established enterprise to fledgling startup -- should observe. But the increasing IT emphasis on strategic innovation and digitization means that organizations with effective project management strategies can no longer simply sit on their laurels. It's vital that IT organizations, and the CIOs overseeing them, take a fresh look at project and portfolio management, ensuring that fresh priorities bubble to the top and receive adequate resources, while past-their-prime initiatives are put out to pasture.
In this CIO guide to project management strategies and portfolios turned upside down by digitization, learn how modern IT organizations are pushing forward with the latest technologies in order to quantify the value of technology, clean up their project pipelines, transform business processes and, especially in the case of startups, get great ideas off the ground.
This Essential Guide on managing information security is part of the CIO Briefings series, which is designed to give IT leaders strategic management and decision-making advice on timely topics.
