What is PPO™?
PPO™ is a software tool that enables the evaluation and prioritisation of all proposed and in-flight projects by their overall contribution of their strategic value, do-ability, investment, and time to benefit.

Why PPO™?
The PPO™ tool is founded on strong methodology delivered through a pragmatic 7 step process that enables an organisation to manage scarce resources to achieve the "best bang for your buck".

The PPO™ tool assists with prioritisation of projects and identification of gaps in realising strategic objectives to support effective decision making based on an optimised portfolio.
　

The PPO™ tool will guide you through:
Defining and weighting criteria
Creating a project inventory
Allocating financial and human resource resources
Evaluating the project list
Providing visibility of the portfolio composition
Prioritising projects against capacity to deliver (financial and human resources)
Optimising the portfolio

The tool also gives assurance to senior executives that the following questions are answered:
Do we know if we are doing the right projects?
What combination of projects will give us the most value from our constrained resources?
What projects can we or can’t we deliver?
Is benefits realisation likely from the current projects?
