Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a management process which takes place when organization drives a number of projects concurrently: its goals include determination of the optimal mix of the projects (whether proposed or already running) to match the organization’s overall interests, such as maximal profitability that a company can achieve within a reviewed time period. Project Portfolio Management is not a solely defined methodology, but a collection of applicable methods which can be utilized by the organizational management to:
- Sort and prioritize multiple projects undertaken by an organization according to their critical or complex parameters, such as strategic worth, business impact, resources, costs, etc;
- Develop a big picture (overview) of the situation with the whole project portfolio owned by an organization – how profitable it is and how well it complies with the corporate strategy;
- Perform the project triage to suspend or completely abandon the projects which aren’t efficient;
- Reallocate the business resources from less important project to the most profitable ones;
- Research interdependencies between the projects within the portfolio;
- Define how positively or negatively the projects impact on each other;
- Form up portfolios from the most viable and profitable projects;
