Rather, it&#x2019;s fundamentally about working smarter by finding efficiencies in six core areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Portfolio Management: <\/strong>prioritization, investment decisions, trend analysis, standardization, and portfolio health monitoring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Project Management<\/strong>: planning, sizing, scoping, estimating, executing, reporting, change management, and closeout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Resource Utilization: <\/strong>project staffing, on-the-fly adjustments, and deploying cross-functional teams to solve specific problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Collaboration: <\/strong>in-context communication between internal teams and external stakeholders; using the right mix of tools (e.g. designated workspaces, video\/phone conferencing, IM chat, face-to-face, etc.) to keep teams informed at every stage of the PLC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Employee Engagement: <\/strong>using visibility to help individuals see and map their contribution; rewarding and recognizing top performers; proactively identifying coaching\/training opportunities (one-on-one and team-based)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/clarizen-now-positioned-by-forrester-research-as-a-leader-in-its-enterprise-collaborative-work-management-wave\"><strong>Work Management<\/strong><\/a>: using automation to run repeatable, standardized tasks in order to free up team members to focus on high value activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ultimately, when enterprises find efficiencies in these key areas, they naturally experience faster execution, and significantly reduce the time it takes to achieve strategic goals. So yes, speed, speed and more speed characterizes the work landscape. But not because people are frenetically and chaotically racing around. Rather, it&#x2019;s because they&#x2019;re doing things more efficiently AND more intelligently. That&#x2019;s the gateway to business agile, and it&#x2019;s the only way to reap the rewards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"et-box et-download\">\n<div class=\"et-box-content\">Clarizen&#x2019;s cloud-based PPM solution is designed from the ground-up to help enterprises identify, exploit and establish efficiencies in all of these areas.
