Findings: The article shows the case study of a company from a rapid environment’s industry that needs fast development in their projects. The case provide lesson learn that a technology company should practice the six steps process to maximize their project contributions and deliver results using all available resources. Originality/value: The article shows the key to success for practicing good prioritization for project management at high technology companies. The practical guidelines of Zero Based Budget (ZBB) are also useful for selecting projects.
