The financial industry is navigating a confluence of unprecedented challenges: rapidly evolving regulatory landscapes, escalating cybersecurity threats, the relentless push for digital transformation, and the ever-present specter of economic volatility. These factors are not isolated incidents; they're interconnected forces that demand a holistic, adaptable approach to project portfolio management.
