Project portfolio management (PPM)

A manager sees which projects are on track, which are in trouble and why, without collecting statuses by hand.

For organizations with more projects than one manager can hold in their head.

Courses What's inside

Where it hurts today

Statuses are collected by email once a week and are stale by the meeting.

The project budget lives in a spreadsheet, and the actuals live in accounting.

A risk was discussed but written down nowhere, and then it materialized.

It is unclear who is overloaded and who is free.

What the solution is made of

Single hierarchy

Portfolio → program → project → task, with milestones and goals. Removes: a set of unrelated projects instead of a portfolio.

Health and status

RAG indicators, status reports and dashboards for the portfolio, the program and the project. Removes: collecting statuses by hand.

Risks, changes, budget

A risk matrix, change requests, the project budget. Removes: a scope change agreed verbally, with no trace.

Resources and priorities

Resource load across projects and initiative scoring. Removes: choosing projects by how loudly the sponsor asks.

Execution discipline

Task escalation by working hours and data quality control across the portfolio. Removes: tasks that hang without an owner.

Reorganization without loss

Moving, merging and splitting projects, programs and portfolios as a standard operation. Removes: rebuilding the structure by hand when the org model changes.

End-to-end scenario

Initiative scoring and entry into the portfolio project with milestones and a budget tasks with escalation risks and change requests status report and RAG on the manager dashboard

What you get

The status meeting gets shorter.

The data is collected before it starts.

A deviation is visible while it can still be corrected.

Portfolio RAG and health are calculated, not debated.

The portfolio is built on criteria.

Scoring instead of a queue of requests.

A change of structure does not break the history.

Moving and merging are system operations.

Where to start

1

One portfolio with 5–7 real projects.

2

Status reports and RAG instead of a weekly mailing.

3

Budget, risks and resources once the hierarchy is populated.
