What is a Project Portfolio?

 A collection of projects and/or
  programs -and other related work-
  , grouped to facilitate effective
  management of that work to meet
  strategic business objectives.
 The “portfolio components” (projects
  and programs) may not necessarily
  be interdependent or directly related

Identification of Projects
 Of all the initiatives identified in the BSC, we must select
  those which will be included in our Project Portfolio
 At this point in the process it is important to have an
  structured and documented approach
   • Defined and supervised by the PMO or another specific group in
     the organization
 The use of a Selection Committee is the best practice
   • Diverse composition
   • Usually comprised of all or part of the Senior Management team
   • Could be more than one Committee, at different levels of the
     organization

Consider 2 types of Components


           Inventory of                          Inventory of
            actual and                           new project
             running                              proposals
             projects


 Identifying these components is usually a discrete task that
  may be performed periodically (annually, bi-
  annually, quarterly)
 Or it may be a continuous task during the year
 Identifying actual projects is not a trivial task, especially in
  large corporations

A Strategic Questionnaire

 One of the easiest ways to create
  alignment between the Strategic Plan and
  the Project Portfolio
 Provides an objective selection
  mechanism, using both objective and
  subjective criteria
 Deals with subjects that are difficult to
  evaluate, such as:
   •   Implementation complexity
   •   Added value
   •   Strategic consistency
   •   The four perspectives

Consider…

 The prioritized portfolio should be established at the
  beginning of each period, but is by no means static
 The organization’s budget and the available resources are
  the major defining constraints
 Balancing the Portfolio? Easiest way: Pareto Rule
 Risk analysis may be another factor to include in the
  analysis, along with implementation complexity
 All projects should be made official by Senior
  Management before execution
   • Main purpose of the Project Charter

Conclusions

 Strategic Planning is of paramount
  importance in current environment
 Establishing simple mechanisms for
  Strategic Planning and PPM
  processes is much more efficient and
  effective
 Organizations must know at all times
  where their resources are being
  invested
 PPM does not necessarily mean
  having a new department, but it does
  mean assigning the responsibility to
  someone!
