Training · Operations and governance

Demand management and PMO

When requests come from every direction: clear priorities and an overview of the portfolio.

  • Module 2.5
  • About 8 hours
  • On site, remote or hybrid
  • Adapted to your team

Goals

Build a clear path from request to delivery, with shared priority criteria and an aggregated view of initiatives, capacity and dependencies. Because when nobody decides, pressure decides.

Who it is for

PMOs, portfolio managers, leadership teams, delivery leads, transformation teams.

What we cover

  • Collecting and assessing requests: what you need in order to decide
  • Priority criteria and balancing initiatives
  • From single project to portfolio: what changes in governance
  • Capacity, dependencies and trade-offs
  • Reporting that supports decisions, not just control

Format and duration

1 theory session of 4 hours, or a 1-day workshop building the first portfolio map.

What the team keeps

The request path, the priority criteria and a first portfolio map.
