Intelligence

One of the most underestimated parts of Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) is "Intelligence". Technology vendors provides their solutions with standard reports, but these seldom fit into the report library and expectations of the customer. On the other hand, the discussion with the client in the early stages of the implementation regarding the necessary outcome in terms of KPI reports and dashboards is very difficult. PPM is a journey and so are the final designs of the reports and KPI's . To interfere this discrepancy your PPM partner can help you with the right attention during initiation and with delivery of content packs and best practices.
