Project Prioritization: Re-Adjustments

When organizational or market factors fluctuate, project priorities may shift due to changing realities. Organizations that have multiple projects competing for limited resources face the following key challenges:

  • Making the project inventory and project priority list vital elements of the IT management and/or organizational process, rather than static documents or reports left to become stagnant and useless.
  • Keeping the project priority list dynamic and reflective of current IT and/or organizational initiatives and activities rather than a single point-in-time assessment and evaluation.

These challenges can be addressed in three key steps:

  1. Process for Re-Prioritization
  2. Revisit Project Priority List and Make Adjustments
  3. Review Adjustments with Stakeholders
