PPM author, consultant, and PMI Fellow Harvey Levine suggests, "It's not only important to do projects right, but it's important to do the right projects."

Reports, dashboards, and visual status indicators give executives real-time visibility into every project. However, according to Harvey Levine, PPM author and PMI Fellow, "Looking at the colors of a dashboard chart, as a scoreboard, does not accomplish anything. It's like being a spectator at a ballgame. You can't influence the outcome of the game unless you re on the field."

To ensure the accuracy of the information executives use to make strategic decisions, it's crucial that enterprise software address the needs of individual contributors to the PPM process. Scott Johnson, CEO of AtTask, describes his company's vision as creating an environment much like today's social media, where people use @task because they want to—because it provides recognition for their accomplishments as well as validation for executive management. This makes @task more valuable to executives, managers, and their organizations—and is the future of PPM.
