The course includes real-world discussions of experiences and common challenges in deploying a portfolio solution such as obtaining appropriate participation and buy-in on drivers and portfolios, adhering to portfolio decisions, frequency of portfolio analyses, considering compliance and pet projects, fast-tracking approvals.
