The Journey Begins…
ALL said they wanted PPM
integration.
MOST couldn’t really
articulate what they wanted.

What’s More Important?
I am responsible for
selecting, managing and
optimizing project
resource investments.
I am responsible for
delivering high quality
working software.

PPM
– Accounting: Where are we
spending our time?
– Resource planning
– Strategic investment decisions
Agile Delivery Teams
– Tracking time slows me down,
and doing it twice is annoying
– Resource pool vs. cross-
functional teams
– Deliver value frequently and
work collaboratively with
customers
