In our first interview with Jamal Moustafaev, PMP (www.thinktankconsulting.ca) we looked at what portfolio management is and what benefits it will bring to a company once they have it implemented. But how do you implement it? Where do you start with portfolio management and what strategic approaches should you apply?
These are lots of good questions and Jamal has lots of good answers coming up.

There is an old PM saying that goes like this: Projects don’t fail at the end... they fail at the beginning. But when exactly is “the beginning”? Is it scope definition? The kick off meeting? The creation of the charter?
For Jamal Moustafaev, PMP (www.thinktankconsulting.ca) it is even earlier than that. A project starts at project selection, which is why he wrote a book about it called Delivering Exceptional Project Results: A Practical Guide to Project Selection, Scoping, Estimation and Management. In today’s interview we are going to take a look at project portfolio management and how it helps companies to deliver these exceptional results.
Here is what Jamal wrote about his book on Amazon:
I hope that, after reading this book, junior project managers and technical team members will feel compelled to share it with their superiors so that these superiors can learn how to select projects properly and gain an understanding of the daily challenges faced by project managers. It is also hoped that senior managers who read this book will realize that there are still some improvements to be made to their project management practices and will pass this book on to their colleagues.
