Identifying projects isnt usually difficult. But prioritizing them is certainly very difficult. Especially a highly charged up and
enthusiastic team wants to do everything. Prioritizing strategic projects isnt about voting the projects. It involves active one-on-one engagement with the stakeholders, getting them on same plane and doing enough homework on what has been past track record before prioritizing. We have prioritized strategic projects for large IT firm.
