<span style="color:#ED7D31">Class Date: May 23, 2016</span><o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Every organization has too many project needs clamoring for insufficient resources. Often, leaders respond by trying to do too much with too little. This starves the most important projects, wastes resources on the wrong work, and causes
unbalanced risks and myopic horizons. This 2-day course provides effective portfolio management methods and decision-making tools that help leaders invest in resources more strategically in the right projects and better coordinate their execution.
