Through our Strategic Portfolio Development services, we help you gauge the market, project, or technical feasibility of your vision.

We then help you break down the vision into programs and projects, and plot a roadmap for how to navigate them.

Market Analysis

What are the external factors that can make or break your project? Can you read the tea leaves of your market? With Mavendog’s Market Analysis, we arm you with information about customers, competitors, and market shifts — macro data that can justify a project investment.

Let's Talk If:
  1. No one is evaluating projects against market factors.
  2. You have been caught off guard by competitors.
  3. You need an outsider's point of view.

Project Feasibility Studies

What are the internal factors that can make or break your project? Does your project have strategic alignment, departmental support, and subject matter expertise? Our Project Feasibility Studies help you determine your readiness to take on a particular project.

Let's Talk If:
  1. You are unsure how complex your project really is.
  2. Your project faces push-back.
  3. Project resource talent/capability is suspect.

Technology & Digital Analysis

We’ve all fallen in love with a piece of tech. But from a project perspective, can you successfully deliver and integrate it? Will it work with existing tech? Will it be viable long term? Good project portfolio planning incorporates Technical & Digital Analysis.

Let's Talk If:
  1. Your strategic goals require tech investments.
  2. You're being oversold on a "silver bullet" technology.
  3. New technology faces risky constraints and dependencies.

PMO Consulting & Development

Are you setting up an enterprise PMO for the first time, or trying to mature the one you have? A PMO can empower project managers while mitigating risks with right-sized governance. Yet many organizations still struggle to build or use them properly. Using PMI and PMO Global Alliance standards for assessment and development, we can get your PMO onto the right, value-added footing.

Let's Talk If:
  1. You struggle with project performance and consistency.
  2. You are laying groundwork for a new PMO.
  3. Your PMO isn’t delivering the benefits you expected.

Business Cases & Financials

Business Cases & Financials are the seeds of project portfolios. We can help you coordinate a cross-departmental business case exercise; work with leaders to write the cases; and help you prioritize the projects that come from them.

Let's Talk If:
  1. You have limited insight into departmental priorities.
  2. Strategic goals and departmental needs are not in sync.
  3. There are more project requisitions than budget.

Project Road Mapping

Will it take one, ‘big-bang’ project? Or many? If more than one, what is the proper project sequence? With Project Road-Mapping, we help you determine “how to eat the elephant” by breaking strategic goals into project bites and charting the work across a time horizon.

Let's Talk If:
  1. A program is too big and unwieldy.
  2. Critical dependencies (e.g., regulatory) squeeze your timeline.
  3. Hard dependencies on resources or other projects are a concern.
