Free whitepaper: “How Project & Portfolio Management systems succumbed to the triple constraint & What to do about it…

Abstract

This brief paper will explain how planning systems have evolved or succumbed, if you like, to the triple constraint, which is such a core principle of planning itself. Because so many organizations have implemented Atlassian (Jira), we see supporting systems becoming oriented to the perceived needs of their owning stakeholders.

We will make the case however that the best portfolio management solutions are built from the ground up where the work is actually going on.
