The advantage of this method lies in its simplicity. It\u2019s easy to categorize work while offering high-level agreement on your priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, simplicity comes with drawbacks of its own. This method doesn\u2019t include guidelines for prioritizing work, which can lead to arbitrary prioritization and inconsistency throughout the organization. This approach can also be difficult to use in projects that involve large amounts of work because there aren\u2019t always clear guidelines for starting tasks and determining cutoff points. For example, if there are 7 High-Priority tasks in the list, teams may not know which task to start first and which task to end on when they can\u2019t complete all 7 tasks.<\/p>\n<h3>Calculated or Weighted Scoring.<\/h3>\n<p>For this approach, projects are given a numerical score derived from their categories. Every category is assigned a weighted score based on its importance, and the higher the number, the greater the priority. If the organization believes strategic value is more important than risk, strategic value is assigned a higher weighted score.<\/p>\n<p>There are several benefits of using this approach.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s easy to set up and can provide a clear-cut guideline for assigning priority<\/li>\n<li>You can easily prioritize work by using the <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scaledagileframework.com\/wsjf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) calculation<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Stakeholders can give input when scoring categories for projects<\/li>\n<li>You get an average weighted score that represents the interests of stakeholders and other important groups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind when using this approach, however, is that it can overlook resource constraints completely. The top-ranking projects may score well because they align with the needs of your organization, but that doesn\u2019t mean your organization has the capacity to take on high-ranking projects.<\/p>\n<h3>Constraint Analysis.<\/h3>\n<p>This approach uses an optimization parameter, financial and date information, and resource constraints to prioritize and schedule work. It\u2019s a popular and effective approach among Savvy PMOs because scores factor in both human effort and financial resources. This means you can make a more informed decision by factoring in both types of resources when you\u2019re prioritizing work. With that said, this project prioritization scoring model requires up-to-date data and good resource and capacity planning for optimal results.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve looked at some popular project prioritization methods, let\u2019s see what you need to do in order to make the approach you\u2019ve selected succeed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/cwow-breaking-the-status-quo-_ebook_gen_en_reg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11138\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CWoW-750x200-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Changing World of Work eBook\" width=\"836\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CWoW-750x200-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CWoW-750x200-1-300x80.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 836px) 100vw, 836px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_persistent\"><\/span>Be persistent.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Be ready to continuously act, evaluate, revise, and evolve. The Savvy PMO is grounded in reality when creating their prioritized list. Try to limit the work you include to priorities that can actually be achieved. If you\u2019re not using constraint analysis scoring, choose work based on your schedule and the resources you have available, and don\u2019t overdo it. Stick to those priorities that can be realistically delivered, and if low-priority work has to wait, move it to the backlog until the current cycle has been completed.<\/p>\n<p>But you\u2019re not just any regular PMO, you\u2019re a Savvy PMO so you are constantly looking forward by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monitoring progress to verify everything is on the right track<\/li>\n<li>Evaluating whether the outcome of your projects reflects your prioritization. If not, the savvy approach is to re-adjust your prioritization method and ranking criteria, and then, try it again<\/li>\n<li>Being adaptable by keeping your project prioritization plans aligned with business drivers as they change over time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ensure you constantly improve on your prioritization plan by getting insights from work that stalls or is no longer aligned with your company strategy (document the reasons why and be mindful as you prioritize for the future). From there, you can create an action plan to free up space for higher-value work that pushes your company closer to their goals and objectives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_the_case\"><\/span>Make the case.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Savvy PMO realizes the payoff of maximizing business value through project prioritization and continues to score and prioritize their work accordingly. But, what value do these tactics bring, exactly?<\/p>\n<p>Effective prioritization can transform your company in several different ways, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improving decision-making through an objective, systematic workflow that removes biases and boosts consistency<\/li>\n<li>Bringing the focus to the highest value work, allowing you and your organization to prioritize and re-prioritize work as soon as initiatives diverge from company objectives<\/li>\n<li>Lowering risk by having teams focus on work that helps with achieving established goals and objectives<\/li>\n<li>Assembling teams that deliver high-value work and identify dependencies more effectively<\/li>\n<li>Demonstrating the importance of your PMO by delivering value based on strategic outcomes rather than project outputs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s not all.
