Your organization tried implementing portfolio management in the past, but even though it purchased a sophisticated automated software system for scoring and prioritization, it was not successful. After a year of complaints about the system, the executive team disbanded it. Now, resources are scarce, and some executives who were involved in the earlier attempt have left the company. The new CEO asked for a list of ongoing programs, projects, and operational work, and you could not provide one even though you direct the Project Management Office.
