• How does the project portfolio management approach lead to enhanced strategic management for an organization? Example in the context of specific projects.
• Sequencing activities properly is a critical component of project management, whether on a small scale (chop the walnuts before mixing the batter and finally baking) or a large scale (identifying a new market and then developing and finally distributing a new product to that market).
