Project management - Concept
Portfolio
The full collection of projects and programmes an organisation chooses to invest in and manage together
What's it for?
Helps leaders decide which projects and programmes deserve limited money, people and attention.
For example…
The CIO ranks twenty initiatives and defers three low-value ones so the ERP upgrade can keep its specialists.
Leadership reviews a portfolio of 30 technology projects and pauses lower-value work so scarce engineers can focus on the highest priorities
Think of it like…
Garden: you choose which beds get water this season, knowing you cannot grow everything at once
