I gave a presentation to a wide audience on ” Effective Product Portfolio Management” for New Product Development this morning. I covered the following

a. Short Introduction to Gaea Global – Who we are?

b. Elucidated the problem of Effective Product Portfolio Management and how Oracle Agile and Oracle Primavera provide a compelling solution specifically in the NPD space.

c. Showed how existing ‘Product’ based projects modeled in Agile can be brought into  a Primavera portfolio for determining the best products to rollout to the market in the most effective way with a context on project, resource and portfolio management using Gaea’s Agile Primavera Connector

d. Demonstrated how the project initiation process need not be isolated only as a project in Primavera but can be commingled with a product lifecycle footprint or a product record in Agile  using the connector.

Please do reach out to me if you have any further questions but this space of effective product portfolio management holistically as a project portfolio is exciting and challenging across industries.

The Oracle stack in addition to their best-of-breed PLM and EPPM products in my opinion will provide organizations to see benefit of effective product portfolio management and help them make informed decisions on their product mix and maximize their revenues.
