Wednesday, October 1, at 1:00 PM ET | 10:00 AM PT
Webinar Summary
Many organizations still rely on outdated and homegrown tools such as Excel for project portfolio reporting – leading to version control issues, broken formulas, inconsistent data, and distribution challenges. Only about one in three organizations adopt commercial project portfolio management (PPM) tools, and even then, many struggle with adoption.

Join this informative webinar as we discuss how to transform your PPM reporting approach.
