PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) organizes a series of projects into a single portfolio consisting of reports that capture project objectives, costs, timelines, accomplishments, resources, risks and other critical factors. Executives can then regularly review entire portfolios, spread resources appropriately and adjust projects to produce the highest departmental returns. The premise behind PPM is the theory that an enterprise can manage its projects as an investor would manage a portfolio of investments. By managing the enterprise's projects as a portfolio, executive management can understand critical project factors, such as risks, costs, productivity, dependencies, and effectiveness.

Beyond the inherent need in virtually every large enterprise to streamline and reduce maintenance costs, the major drivers accelerating PPM adoption include:

• The need for Project knowledge to respond to regulatory mandates for data privacy, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act;
• Pre-contract negotiation and post-outsourcing monitoring; and
• PPM's eventual melding with other portfolio management disciplines, such as Product Portfolio Management, Risk Portfolio Management, Service Portfolio Management, and much, much more.
