Capital Program Management (CPM) Planning Process Management, Definition, Optimization, Facilitation, Modeling

The most critical factor to successfully implementing your CPM Planning process is first understanding that Capital Program Planning is indeed a "Process" and one that can have varying levels of complexities. Then it is imperative to understand the impact of this Process on meeting key objectives such as Optimized CPM, Optimization of the Capital Program Portfolio and Funding, Reduced Planning Cycle Time, Reduced cost of the Capital Programs, etc. Ultimately, the drivers that would impact the definition and subsequent success of the CPM Process and the Capital Programs themselves include:

• The operational infrastructure of your municipality, simplicity/complexity, level of integration
• Level of control required, number of iterations, sources of inputs, review and approval cycles, etc.
• Size and complexity of your Capital Program Portfolio
