Summit Agenda
TRACK 1: Program and PMO
Functions, Roles and Practices
In 2010, to “enable” the business, IT needs more than ever to take advantage of better, practical, and proven practices
and techniques. The “rubber” of initiatives results meets the “road” of economic recovery with programs and projects that
are effective, well-managed, and produce the desired business value and change. The larger, more challenging or complex
initiatives require strategic program management approaches, and the applied expertise and support of highly focused and
practical PMO staff. This track provides you the analysis and the tactics to measure, prioritize, organize and manage your
programs and PMOs for improved business results.

Your 2010 IT investments will impact the degree and direction of IT enablement for business recovery. Matching IT direction
to the business strategy is critical. Selecting the IT investments — which pay off with the “right IT results, rightly done,”
and eliminating projects and applications that create recovery “drag” — is required in order to determine whether your
