• Kimberley and I will describe Debenhams project
  delivery before and after PPM deployment and
  demonstrate how the benefits of PPM have
  increased Debenhams project management maturity.
• We will explain how Clarity has enabled us to
  replace a complicated interaction of
  spreadsheets, planning tools and manual processes
  with a single integrated solution. 
• We will also demonstrate how we can now manage

  priority, ROI or risk.
