What every Project Manager should know - Trends in Project Governance
Sunil Anand, Wipro
 
The IT function in any organization goes through continuous changes in its priorities while pursuing better results. The focus on software engineering process models has camouflaged other trends in IT portfolio management areas. IT project managers need to appreciate the upstream activities that lead to project selection, and expectations being set at that stage. This paper highlights four key trends and how they impact project managers. These trends include investments in technology for better project management and standardization of processes. Knowledge of various portfolio management processes helps project managers to know how decisions are made on resources and funds. With a large number of medium and large IT organizations implementing technology-based project and portfolio management solutions, expectations from project managers are increasing. They need to deliver results through improved productivity and greater project success. They also need to relate to business needs better, creating and sustaining a greater degree of IT-business alignment.

Sunil Anand heads the IT governance practice at Wipro Technologies. He has enabled customers in financial services, manufacturing, entertainment and other industries in USA and Europe to develop their governance frameworks and implement them. He has also run several IT projects and programs. He is a Six Sigma expert and has mentored over 80 projects saving millions of dollars for customers. Prior to working in IT, he has been a management consultant, helping customers in India in their strategic planning, operational improvement and cultural change management initiatives. He is a prominent speaker in forums on IT governance, IT portfolio management, outsourcing and Six Sigma. He has a post-graduate diploma from IIM, Ahmedabad and is currently based in USA.
