dbpprop:abstract
  • Enterprise Project Management (EPM), in broad terms, is the field of organizational development that supports organizations in managing integrally and adapting themselves to the changes of a transformation. In recent years, with general adoption of governance practices, Enterprise Project Management has become more specific: whereas in the 1990s focus was generally on the management of the single project, in the subsequent decade the focus lay more on the fact that a project is likely to not be the only one in the enterprise. The project co-exists with many other projects in the enterprise, or may be part of one or more programs. It may utilize (human) resources that are shared among other projects. In order to facilitate governance, it has become essential to be able to manage, monitor, and assess the status of all projects (and other assets, of course) in the enterprise, through a set of (preferably uniform) Enterprise Project Management processes, methods and application packages. Typically, organizations that adopt an Enterprise Project Management way of working might set up a Project Management Office (PMO), might select and adopt a Project Management Methodology like PRINCE2, PMBOK (or create a proprietary method) or follow the concepts of IPMA Competence Baseline as a foundation for development and certification of project managers and their knowledge, experience and behaviour. They might even select and implement a software system to support Enterprise Project Management. An even more recent evolution in Enterprise Project Management is to not only plan and track the existing set of projects, but to create a portfolio (per budget size, per calendar year, per budget year, per business line, etcetera) of existing and future (demand) projects. This is called Project Portfolio Management. Just like with a portfolio of shares, Project Portfolio Management is the activity of selecting which projects to keep in portfolio (because of their anticipated value) and which ones to discard (because of their obsoleteness or because they will not yield the value that was initially calculated). Project Portfolio Management includes the creation of various scenarios to decide which is the most optimal portfolio (for a certain year, business, budget, etcetera). Once the contents of the portfolio are agreed upon, it is key to constantly scrutinize how the individual projects are evolving in terms of quality, cost and schedule. From an IT management perspective, Enterprise Management essentially means enterprise-wide network administration, which is becoming increasingly complex. The corporate network environment is no longer tied to a single vendor, let alone a single platform. More and more, corporate intranets are multidomain, multiprotocol, multiplatform systems. They contain hardware and operating systems from a number of different, competing vendors. This situation creates administrative overhead that can easily make the cost of owning such networks prohibitive for all but the largest and most profitable organizations. Implementing an Enterprise Project Management toolset needs to be considered in light of the organization's Project Management Maturity and the methodologies, processes and governance structures that are currently in place. There are many organizations that can support such implementations. Tools that support Enterprise Project Management include collaborative enterprise project management software such as EPM Live, Wrike, Deltek EPM Suite and Microsoft Project Server.
  • Enterprise Project Management (EPM) ist die unternehmensweite Planung, Steuerung und Überwachung von Projekten. Im Gegensatz zum einfachen Projektmanagement wird berücksichtigt, dass ein Projekt nicht zwangsweise das einzige Projekt zur selben Zeit im Unternehmen sein muss. Die globalen Ressourcen des Unternehmens stehen nicht einem, sondern i.d.R. allen Projekten zur Verfügung. Die im Sinne des Unternehmens bestmögliche Verteilung der Ressourcen ist ein Ziel des EPM.
  • O Enterprise Project Management (EPM), em termos gerais, é o campo do desenvolvimento organizacional que trata do gerenciamento de projetos dentro de uma empresa. Do ponto de vista da Tecnologia da informação (TI), o EPM é relacionado com o gerenciamento de redes corporativas, que se tornaram extremamente complexas nos dias atuais. O ambiente das empresas, geralmente, não é mantido por apenas um fornecedor, portanto, dentro das empresas podem conviver diversas plataformas diferentes. Cada vez mais, as intranets corporativas possuem múltiplos domínios e protocolos, além de múltiplas plataformas tecnológicas. Elas contém hardware e software oriundos de vários fornecedores. Esta situação cria um grande custo de gerenciamento que pode tornar proibitiva a manutenção desta infra-estrutura por parte de algumas empresas.
