Project and portfolio management helps
organizations gain visibility and control
across all work. This enhances decisionmaking, improves alignment with business
strategy, maximizes resource utilization, and
enhances project execution
13. You Might be a Project Manager If…
If you're 6 months late on a milestone due
next week, but really believe you can make
it…you just might be a project manager.

17. What is Enterprise Project
Management?
Enterprise Project Management is a way of thinking,
communicating and working, supported by an
information system that organizes enterprise's
resources in a direct relationship to the leadership's
vision and the mission, strategy, goals and

Simply put, EPM provides a 360 degree view of the
organization's collective efforts.

19. Enterprise Project Management
• What is the difference between EPM and
PM?
– EPM provides a more complete view of the
organization's combined efforts.
– PM gives a detailed view of a specific project
– It’s all about perspective…
23. Enterprise Project Management
One belief is that EPM is a software tool that
helps plan and implement all projects within
an organization.
Enterprise project management, as implied
by the name, is an enterprise view of all
project management activities and how
these activities contribute to the success of
the organization.
Source: Ireland, L. (2004). Enterprise project management: A strategic
view.
24. Enterprise Project Management
Enterprise project management seeks to
adopt a common, systematic, organizationwide approach to project management in a
multi-project context.

27. EPM Software
Enterprise Project Management software is
designed to track the development of
projects, providing project managers and

project, and/or a collective view of all
projects.
