Why this session matters

Organizations rarely lack project ideas; they lack a reliable way to choose between them. The PMI Lebanon Chapter was delighted to host one of its own devoted members, Ohannes Bedrossian, Head of PMO and Engineering at SIMAC Beirut, for this September Monthly Talk on how portfolio management aligns initiatives with organizational strategy.

He covered the purpose and importance of portfolio management, common pain points and key factors to consider, how to link projects to strategy for greater impact, and practical methods for ranking and scoring projects to ensure benefits realization.
