Implementing Project Portfolio Management: From Organization Structure to Recognized Revenue · Module 3 · Organization Structures
Associating project units with business units
Lesson 36 of 198 · 9 min
Associate the project unit with the first business unit, then with the second. Show what the association enables — projects in this unit can now transact in both. Then show a project unit with NO association, and the resulting failure. THIS ASSOCIATION IS WHAT MAKES CROSS-BUSINESS-UNIT PROJECT WORK POSSIBLE. Without it, a project cannot transact in a business unit at all. It is also the setup that makes Module 11's cross-charge conversation relevant. Add this to the new-business-unit runbook.
