How to Evolve from Project Management to Project Portfolio Management for Stronger Project Selection
No matter how good your organization is at managing projects, the process of selecting those projects remains a top business challenge for PMOs and project leaders. For better or worse, project selection is perhaps the most critical step of the project portfolio management process. When considering projects as business investments, each project takes with it valuable resources, time, budget, and more—emphasizing even more the importance of choosing the right ones.
This eBook, written by Project and Portfolio Management industry expert Harvey A. Levine, looks at practical, structured ways to build a better portfolio of projects. That is, projects that are beneficial, profitable, and adhere to C-level strategy. He does so by exploring:
4 potential types of projects in a portfolio
3 basic criteria for an effective portfolio
3 key groups responsible for managing project portfolios
best practices for evaluating candidate projects, including value, benefits, risk, and resource constraints
real-world examples of project selection wins and mishaps
While there is no guarantee of selecting the right projects 100% of the time, this eBook seeks to improve your processes in order to maximize your projects’ contribution to the overall success of the business.
