I would be a little cautious about OGC material. It's main application is the public sector, and they have never implemented anything.Originally posted by Chico

As I said before, I believe portfolio management is a largely untouched area in terms of well documented methods. Looking at the OGC page, what does it really say? It's just woolly, high level promotional stuff...
"projects are difficult and complex, you need to use methods otherwise you are screwed, methods are good". How many times have I evaluated a client's so-called change/project/programme/benefits/ICT strategy to find it is exactly that? Lacking in any real substance.
If you liked the OGC comments, fine, we can work along those lines. What you need is a Business Architect. Luckily, I am available at £700 p/d
But seriously, you need a structure akin to programme management, but remember the projects aren't working towards an ultimate outcome, so be cautious on the benefits management.
Align operational and strategic goals? Fine, a structure for that can be developed. Establish a group responsible for strategy. New idea? Fine, let's evaluate it and see whether it fits the strategic goal: yes? Good, develop further and produce a business case. No? Okay, is it a corporate enabler? Yes, good, develop further and produce a business case. Still no? Reject it.
And so we go on....business case approval, forming a team, execution....
How do the teams report? I think this really depends on the nature of the organisation, what structures are already in place. Certainly you need some sort of PMO function.
And so we go on...Comment
