Our thoughts on The CIO’s Guide to Breakthrough Portfolio Project Management

Our favourite quote from The CIO’s Guide to Breakthrough Portfolio Project Management

While both Agile and CCPM offer ways to aggregate risk, CCPM advocates elevating this risk to the project and portfolio levels whenever beneficial, and whenever acceptable to the customer. In contrast, Agile focuses its risk aggregation on the scrum team, ignoring the benefits of aggregating risk to the highest level feasible. There’s no reason Agile projects can’t also benefit by aggregating the risk beyond the scrum team, to the project level.
