Programme Overview
Project management is now generally considered a critical business skill. By some estimates over 60% of business is conducted in the form of projects. And yet, a lot of projects in both the public and private sectors are persistently late and over budget. Project management skills can no longer be relegated to a few so-called project managers in the organisation. They need to be disseminated more widely as many organisations move towards a project-oriented structure to emphasize greater accountability and efficiency in execution. Furthermore, we cannot confine ourselves to single projects; the ability to manage a program of several projects concurrently under tight budgetary and resource constraints is an essential skill. In recent years projects have acquired a much greater strategic dimension. It is not only necessary to execute projects successfully, but it is even more important to choose to do the right projects in the first place. After all, the right portfolio of projects constitutes the firm’s business strategy. This four day course discusses all of the above aspects of project management.
Programme Objective
The principal objectives of the P3M course are as follows:
- Understand the essential ingredients of project success – roles, responsibilities, organization, team work, and processes.
- Gain an in-depth understanding of the two main types of projects: product development and process improvement.
- Understand the fundamental importance of organizational change management to project management success.
- Gain proficiency in the tools and techniques of project management – planning, controlling, and implementation.
- Appreciate the additional constraints imposed by program management.
- Understand the strategic nature of enterprise project management – project evaluation, selection, and portfolio criteria.
Content
The course contents are grouped into the following categories:
- Project fundamentals: The topics covered include Risk Management, Commercials, Team Performance, and Stakeholder Communications.
- Tools: These comprise the “science” of project management – WBS and estimation, Realistic scheduling and resources, Budget and cash flow, Monitoring progress and the Earned Value Method.
- People Issues: Team dynamics, stakeholder analysis, conflict types and resolution, and project communication.
- Product Development and Process Improvement Projects: Characteristics of each type, and the levers of organisational change management.
- Enterprise Project Management (EVM): Multiproject (program) management and resource implications, evaluation and selection of a portfolio of projects and relation to business strategy.
Pedagogy
The course is mainly delivered through case discussion and lectures. However, readings, presentations and laptop computer exercises also form an important part. Attendees who are considering taking (or have already taken) the PMP qualification of Project Management Institute will find the course very useful.
Who Should Attend
The course emphasizes the strategic, organizational and management aspects of projects. As such the technical (including computational) detail is minimal, and included for completeness purposes. We therefore recommend the course for middle and senior managers (including project managers) in all industries (public and private) that deal with projects. So widespread is the use of projects that we believe project management skills are likely to acquire greater prominence in virtually all industries.
Testimonials
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in furthering their field in Project, Program and Portfolio management. The courses at IIM B show how you can cross global barriers with a little bit of effort and how productive and useful it is for the professionals irrespective of the field.
The reference material provided was excellent. The best parts were the hands-on projects and the structure of the course in terms of case studies that helped me to map my learnings from the theory sessions and apply them on case studies and also helped in resolving problem abilities. The project-based case studies and instructive videos that were part of the course helped me to maintain a strong pace through the classes, and the interest grew with each session. I loved the flow of the content, and it was easy to focus on the topics with the help of course materials. The meticulous execution of each session is commendable.
I opted for guided training and was pleasantly surprised that I learned so much more than expected in those classes within short span of 4 days. The instructors were thorough and really explained the subject in-depth. It was very exciting for me to attend the interactive classes from the renowned scholars from MIT and IBM. Thank you.

Firstly, Attending P3M course at IIMB is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It exceeded my expectations, “Simply an outstanding and stimulating program”, the learning we experienced during the four intense days of P3M (Project Program and Portfolio Management) at IIM Bengaluru was immense. The program was well defined, covering all major facets of Project and Program& Portfolio management in an industry context, and supported with selected case studies. Specifically most important thing I learned is the concept of “Design Structure Matrix” which is unique and is solution to lot of real life scenarios and learning it from Prof. Anshuman Tripathy himself was quite an experience .apart from the learning Thanks for the superb hospitality at IIM- B and for memories that I will cherish for years to come."

Having been in the industry as an engineer for close to 12 years highlighted many aspects of the development lifecycle, however, the management part was still a closed box. "Project, Program & Portfolio Management program" was a perfect choice for this knowledge. As a management aspirant, it provided the right mixture of foundation laying as well as practicing concepts with case studies. Professor Sudhir & Professor Anshuman were very approachable for answering queries. We got to apply the acquired knowledge to solve a problem faced/seen earlier and presented our solutions. I would highly recommend this course as exposure to managing products, programs, and portfolios.
