Talk about ppm (Project Portfolio Management)-1

Preface:

This article focuses on purely theoretical ppm and does not involve specific implementation. I will introduce the detailed ppm implementation solution later.

 

 

Ppm, which is a concept that has become popular in recent years and is short for project portfolio management.

Project Portfolio Management is literally translated into Chinese, that is, project portfolio management, that is, combining many projects for management. Here (csdn) Many people believe that it is related to the development work. There should also be many leaders who are more or less aware of project management. I am also a small leader, the common understanding of management is to manage and do a good job. However, have you ever wondered what the company's top leaders know about management?

If I am the boss, I have invested in this company, and I have put all my efforts into it, I should not just care about what I want to do, I am not very concerned about whether your work is done.Can the product be released on schedule?,Overspending project?,Controllable risks,Are all personnel in place?,Is sales steadily increasing?,Continue to be satisfied,Decrease in ROI...... Alas, it seems that the boss needs to think about things that our so-called small leaders think about. (try to think about these aspects and turn yourself into a boss .)

 

Well, if you know what the boss is thinking, let's assume you are the boss. Let's see how we know what he thinks. First lookCan the product be released on schedule,The boss certainly won't write the code on his own (if he is writing the code, either a newly established company or the company is almost finished), so he won't know the degree to which the product is developed, so he can only ask his men,

Boss:Manager he, how far have you taken charge of that product? Can it be released on schedule?

Manager he:Today, Manager Wang reported that it is still normal, but recently I have added several more features, so I cannot estimate when to complete them. Let me ask Manager Wang again.

Manager Wang:Boss, the progress is still normal, but didn't Lao Wang say that he has added several features just now, and two developers have asked for leave these two days, so this time is really not a good estimate, and we will try our best.

Boss:...... (I still don't know if it can be completed on schedule)

 

The next day, the boss continued to ask, but still did not know. In fact, they really did not know, because there are too many variables, it is difficult to estimate. (Believe it or not, I believe it anyway)

The third day... the boss finally cried.

 

Haha, just kidding. In fact, this is not a strange joke, because they do not know or are difficult to estimate, but as the boss, he is in this position, you have to know how to proceed. So really, the boss is very tired. He always wants to know the exact progress of the incident, but he is always unable to know it. He always has to wait until the last moment, whether there are any problems or whether it will be postponed before he can see it, but in that case, the initial marketing plan may have to be changed, thus affecting other more aspects, that is, the so-called one-stop action.

 

So think about what the boss wants to know. If there is a positive answer to every question, how happy he should be. He can arrange various plans with confidence. I believe every boss thinks so.

How can we achieve this goal?
