How do you make the case for PPM and justify the expense? What are some common pitfalls in implementing or extending PPM across the enterprise? How much should an organization expect to “bend” to accommodate a new PPM solution? PowerSteering’s CEO shares his perspective on these and other issues.

Stephen Sharp is chairman and chief executive officer of PowerSteering Software, a provider of on-demand project portfolio management solutions for IT, new product development, Lean Six Sigma and other enterprise initiatives.
