Abstract: Abstract Organising the business’s people, and organising its processes, are the most important components in deploying PPM successfully. The software tools used in PPM primarily represent a way to automate the processes, to make them more effective and efficient by reducing human error and tedious administration to a minimum. It is vital to understand that simply possessing a PPM software tool does not mean that you have a PPM process and are actively managing your projects as a portfolio of investments. Simply put, avoid ‘pure play’ software vendors who are unable to provide a detailed PPM process package. Instead manage tool-set selection as part of comprehensive consultation led programme that focuses on delivering the organisation of people, processes and software as part of an integrated package.
