I wholly agree with you that there is an assumption that a strategy has been put in place. This is definitely a big assumption because while many organizations have a “strategy” on paper, few execute upon it. I do touch on this in my overview presentation on PPM under the “PPM Presentations” tab. Thank you for the post.

Tim

Your 4 step process though assumes a strategy is already in place, that may be true, but often everyone’s view of the strategy is different and so there’s some work to be done to build consensus. Otherwise without clear direction and accountability you end up with a situation like this: http://www.projectcasestudies.com/?p=15
