Integrated Management System
Source: link
M
An enterprise operates through a system of interconnected
management functions and processes that transform inputs into
valuable outcomes. This is known as an integrated management
system.
Two engines drive success:
• Business Engine: Strategy, portfolio, and program management
• Execution Engine: Program, project, and team-level delivery
• Ensures continuous alignment between strategic intent and
operational reality
• Program management acts as a bridge, ensuring coordinated
execution of strategy
• Promotes feedback loops — enabling strategy refinement based on
delivery insights
• Supports value realization, governance, and agility at every level
of the organization
Linking Org Strategy and Portfolio Management
The ultimate goal of linking portfolio
management with the organizational
strategy and strategic business execution
is to establish a balanced, realistic plan
that will help the organization to
achieve its goals.
M
Program Lifecycle
O
Portfolio Lifecycle
• A portfolio’s life cycle includes four stages:
Initiation, Planning, Execution, and
Optimization.
• All stages are adaptive, flexible, and fluid.
• The process is continuous and non-linear —
stages can repeat or overlap depending on
needs.
• Portfolios may undergo several iterations of
planning and execution due to internal or
external factors.
• Portfolios are dynamic and can be adjusted or
refreshed (e.g., adding, removing, or modifying
components) in response to internal/external
changes or strategic realignment.

Operational performance in PPM context
Operational performance in program and portfolio management refers to how effectively and efficiently initiatives are being executed
and managed to deliver results within the expected time, budget, and scope – while staying aligned to strategic goals.
While benefits are outcomes, operational performance is about throughput and execution capacity.
● Are we achieving the business outcome we promised? (strategic)
● Are we consistently delivering on our plans in a sustainable way? (operational)
Why It Matters
• Enables predictability in delivery – vital for leadership and
client confidence
• Supports early warning for delivery slippage, resource
bottlenecks, or project overload
• Informs governance decisions: when to intervene, scale,
stabilize, or stop initiatives
• Builds the foundation for value realization – without healthy
execution, strategy fails
Area Description
Timeliness Are we delivering outputs when we said we
would?
Efficiency Are we using resources wisely and minimizing
waste?
Risk & Issue
Control
Are risks, blockers, and escalations being
managed early and effectively?
Dependency
Health
Are inter-project and inter-team dependencies
under control and not causing delays?
Quality of
Delivery
Are we maintaining quality standards (e.g. defect
rates, rework)?
Key Focus Areas
M
Performance Dimensions and KPIs
Dimension Example Metrics
Delivery Health On-time delivery %, milestone slippage, burn rate
Resource Efficiency Utilization %, capacity vs. demand, staffing gaps
Value Delivery % objectives achieved, business value points
Risk/Issue Control Open risks/issues, resolution time, impact level
Dependency Health # of blocked items, unresolved cross-team blockers
Tools & Reporting Mechanisms
• Dashboards (Jira, Planview, Smartsheet, Asana, etc.)
• Portfolio status reviews (monthly/quarterly)
• PMO reporting packs
• Program control boards / Obeya Rooms (Lean)
M
Leading vs Lagging Indicators
Lagging Indicators
Metrics used to measure past
performance, e.g.:
• Delivered on time
• % of completed milestones
• actual cost etc.
M
Leading Indicators
Metrics used as predictive measure
of future performance, e.g.:
• Risk trends
• Team morale
• Velocity drop
• Blocker count etc.
Setting Control Thresholds
Control thresholds are predefined limits or tolerance bands for key performance indicators (KPIs). When performance falls
outside these thresholds, it triggers action — such as escalation, replanning, or intervention.
Why They Matter:
• Provide a baseline for action (vs. reacting
too late or inconsistently)
• Help automate monitoring in dashboards
and tools
• Enable early identification of delivery or
governance issues
• Promote data-driven decisions, not gut feel
KPI Green Amber Red
On-time Delivery (%) ≥ 90% 70%–89% < 70%
Open Risks per Program < 5 5–10 > 10
Team Utilization (%) 75%–85% < 75% or > 85% < 60% or > 95%
Milestone Slippage (days) ≤ 5 days 6–14 days > 14 days
Cycle Time Variance < 15% 15%–25% > 25%
