This is a unique and holistic exploration of project portfolio management - from strategic planning to final evaluation. This unique text provides a universal view of project portfolio management (PPM) that includes people, process, tools, and techniques that work synergistically within the organization to produce portfolio decisions with the best chance of success. It illustrates the entire PPM process from strategic planning through portfolio evaluation and adjustment, including prioritizing objectives, identifying and evaluating candidate projects, selecting optimal portfolios using portfolio analysis, establishing project and portfolio performance metrics, measuring portfolio performance, and project portfolio governance. Rather than just an abstract discussion, this book simulates real-world portfolio management through sample scenarios demonstrating advanced decision-making techniques and the use of decision-making software.
