Microsoft uses the term Project Portfolio Management (PPM) to refer to a group of components that includes Microsoft Project Professional, Project Server and Project Web App.
It is also used for Project Online combined with Project Pro which is its Office 365 cloud offering . Both of these offerings are integrated into SharePoint Server 2013, delivering a common collaboration and information platform available to everyone involved in a project. This combination provides a proven, centralized solution for successful, enterprise-wide project and portfolio management. It offers a flexible, end-to-end PPM platform, used by organizations across a broad variety of industries to automate primary PPM processes as can be seen on the slide, most of which we will be touching on today time permitting.
Predictive Planning is an element of Oracle EPM's focus on Intelligent Performance Management, which is automating as much as possible in order to free up humans to do the real thinking. Predictive Planning is advanced statistical forecasting made easy and tightly integrated into EPBCS. It includes methods such as linear regression, exponential smoothing, and seasonality. For each forecast, it tests many different techniques and creates a forecast using the best one. You might use the results as your primary forecast, you might use them as your forecast seed, or you might use them to compare to and validate human-made forecasts. You don’t need a PhD in statistics. In fact, it’s a good way to learn more about statistical forecasting techniques (aka data science).
So how exactly does it work, and how can you use it to improve your forecasts? This presentation provides a quick overview of the statistical techniques and error measures. It identifies some potential use cases from finance, sales, and HR. Finally, it digs into some examples of how to set up and implement the cube. This presentation is intended for EPBCS admins and developers, as well as Finance, Sales, and HR planners who want to improve their forecasting and analytics.

Best Practices for Enterprise Performance ManagementPerficient, Inc.
A special webinar for Finance professionals
Looking forward to budget season? For many managers, the budget process is a painful, manual process driven by disconnected Excel spreadsheets that are error-prone, static, and generally non-collaborative. The result is a budget that becomes irrelevant as soon as the new fiscal year begins.
A more nimble response is needed. Budgeting and planning should be a continuous, flexible exercise based on rolling forecasts, and supported by systems that can adapt as the business climate changes.
Join us as we discuss how applying best practices and using an automated Enterprise Performance Management system can help intelligent enterprises reap the benefits of flexible budgeting, accurate forecasting and dynamic planning. By implementing best practices for budgeting and planning, you can:
- Make the budget process less painful
- Replace spreadsheets with web forms
- Automate the budget roll-up process
- Create budgets based on key business drivers
- Link strategic goals to operational decisions
- Integrate financial “actuals” with budget and forecast data
- Provide easy, real-time variance reporting
- Access a single version of the truth for financial information

Resource scheduling & capacity planning for project online webinar 25 oct18Mike Otranto
Resource management in an organization can be a challenge for any number of reasons. What if you had a more formal request and approval process that enabled greater visibility for resource managers into the allocation and capacity of their resources? Now you do – Resource Scheduling in Project Online.
Resource Scheduling provides functionality for both resource managers and project managers to enhance communication of resource assignments. Project managers request the needed resource and resource managers analyze and respond to the requests based on real information about other commitments the resource has already been committed to.
This webinar will show both the resource manager and project manager perspective in working with Resource Scheduling in Project Online. Join us and find out how you can get better control and visibility over your allocation and capacity using the new OnePlan for Resource Scheduling
Agile and Traditional Project Management Homogeneous or Hybrid Mike Otranto
Gartner reports that 75% to 80% of organizations are using some form of agile project management process. Although agile project management has been around for many years, the way we adapt it has changed significantly, especially as project portfolio management (PPM) practices have evolved.
In today's businesses, technology plays a crucial role in our success, but technology also makes things more uncertain. This uncertainty has given us the motive to be more flexible and requires a “think on your feet” mentality. For this reason, we have seen a big spike in Agile PPM over the last few years. So how do we continue to deliver stability and efficiency, the result of traditional style PPM, while also giving in to necessary risks that lead to innovation and competitive edge? It’s simple…. we accept the value in each method, avoid the inevitable pains that will develop with segregation, and opt for a unified agile and traditional PPM model.
Join us in this webinar presentation as we discuss the benefits of bringing Agile and Traditional Project Portfolio Management together in one environment. Topics include:
- The Project Management Evolution
- Agile Project Managment Overview
- The Benefits of Hybrid/Unified PPM
- Hybrid Project Management Tools to Support Today’s PPM
Enterprise Program and Portfolio Management in Project Online Mike Otranto
Today’s organizations are constantly trying to determine the right mix of projects to do to get the most strategic value. With limited resources and budgets, making sure that the “right” projects are in their Portfolio can help an organization maximize their investments while staying focused on their overall strategies. OnePortfolio is a great addition to Project Online. It extends the out of the box capabilities by providing you and your organization with discrete portfolio and program capabilities include portfolio dashboards.
Unified Resource Capacity Planning - Unite the Top Work Management PlatformsOnePlan Solutions
In today's diverse project management landscape, organizations often find themselves juggling multiple work management tools like Planner, Microsoft Project, Project for the web, Azure DevOps, Jira, Smartsheets, Monday.com and more. This fragmentation can lead to inefficiencies, especially when it comes to holistic enterprise resource capacity planning. Enter OnePlan: the solution designed to seamlessly bridge these platforms for a consolidated view of your resources at an enterprise level.

With a spotlight on practical applications, we’ll explore strategies for harnessing AI to optimize resource distribution, ensure precise time management, and elevate project quality. Discover how adopting a technology-forward approach, exemplified by platforms like OnePlan, can transform project outcomes, enhance team collaboration, and boost overall profitability without sacrificing the high standards engineering projects require.
What Does Agile Mean to the Modern PMOMike Otranto
Given that digital business require Agile PPM (bimodal IT), PMO leaders are challenged to adapt governance processes to cover new, agile Mode 2 efforts that are not from the same mold as “traditional” project management structures. The requirement of successfully delivering projects using multiple delivery approaches side-by-side is not just a possibility, it is a high probability.
How has Agile PPM (bimodal IT) impacted the PMO?
How are Agile PPM (bimodal IT) application projects different than traditional projects?
How should project management methods, strategies and techniques change to support digital PMO in bimodal IT organizations?

Top Trends for Agile Transformation in 2018: People, Processes, and Technolog...Mike Otranto
The principles of Agile will continue to be a focus for PMOs throughout 2018. Organizations are looking for more flexible ways of working to optimize speed and improve delivery. Like traditional Project Management, there is a triple constraint to consider when developing or transforming your Agile PMO: People, Process and Technology. Many businesses are struggling to find the right balance between governance, control and agility. Adopting this new way of thinking doesn’t mean you must sacrifice oversight or welcome chaos. We now know that a step by step guide to delivery doesn’t work; we also know that giving up control doesn’t have to mean costly failures. So, what do you need to consider when building a modern PMO?
Join us in this webinar as we walk you through the top trends in Agile transformation for 2018. If you are looking for a PMO that delivers quality with speed, resulting in competitive edge, we’ll show you how to deliver with innovative and relevant productivity solutions by providing the technology that aligns to the work, and the people that practice it. Topics include:
• What is Agile Transformation?
• What does it mean for today’s PMO?
• Bimodal PMO – the benefits
• Transformation trends to consider
• How to assess for readiness
• Technology requirements
• Agile best practices
• Finding the right people – the key to transformation success
