Portfolio Management

Coordinated oversight of one or more portfolios to steer the organization toward its strategic goals.

Key Points

  • Aligns investments (projects, programs, and operations work) with organizational strategy.
  • Prioritizes, authorizes, and can pause or terminate components based on value, risk, and capacity.
  • Balances the portfolio to optimize resource use and overall return, not individual project success.
  • Uses governance, metrics, and reviews to monitor performance and adjust the mix of work.

Example

A company reviews all proposed and ongoing initiatives each quarter. It cancels a low-value app project, accelerates a cybersecurity program due to regulatory risk, and shifts staff to a data platform effort that best supports the 3-year strategy.
