Senior executives want to know one thing about any project management improvement initiative: “What’s the value?” Today more than ever, every dollar invested must be justified, and any initiative must deliver positive and tangible results. The good news is that tangible metrics on project management value can be established by asking the right questions and developing an appropriate measurement system.
Justifying the Value of Project Management will help you do just that. You will learn how to develop a system to measure the value of project management within your own organization, you will learn how to sell project management to senior executives, and you will learn what value others have attained by implementing project management improvement initiatives in their organizations. Whether you want to implement a project office, a project management methodology, project management software, train staff in project management tools and techniques, or just add improvements in these areas, this book will help you understand how to go about building your business case and selling it to senior executives to attain the funding needed.
