...application of the tools and techniques of multi-project/program management. As part of the process, we were to deal with the analysis and establishment of project management systems based on the structure of the project and organization. We were also expected to expend some effort to observe and analyze our own team’s group process and group dynamics, and within that scope address such areas as team member roles and responsibilities, delegation, decision making, leadership, conflict resolution, etc. The Team Paper was to be approached in two parts: Part I presented us with the challenge of designing a Portfolio Management process by which our Strategic Business Unit (SBU) would make decisions on what projects would fit into its current portfolio. Part II followed with the inclusion of an important new project bringing a twist to the existing portfolio process. Using the portfolio management process we had proposed, we were to determine whether to proceed with the additional project as well identify the impact on the rest of the program. At the first meeting, just the two of us in attendance, we decided on xxxx xxxxx – a family owned xxxx ” store” – founded in 19xx.
