What is MoP?
Portfolio management is defined as a coordinated collection of strategic processes and decisions that together enable the most effective balance of organizational change and business as usual.
Management of Portfolios (MoP®) approaches the management of change projects and programmes from a strategic viewpoint. It provides an overview of all change activities including what is in the portfolio, what it is costing, what risks are faced, what progress is being made, and what the impact is on business as usual and the organization’s strategic objectives.
The MoP guidance has been prepared to provide senior executives with an overview of portfolio management - the principles upon which it is based, some of the techniques used, and how you can get started and sustain progress.

What does MoP™ offer?
Portfolio delivery cycle that has seven processes outlining how the risks, benefits, resources and finances relating to the portfolio will be managed, and how those involved will be governed and communicated with to maintain commitment to successful delivery
Five principles that deliver the basis for managing projects, programmes and change initiatives as a unit of work, including strategic alignment and senior management commitment
Portfolio definition cycle, which has five processes including identifying all existing initiatives, categorising them and creating the portfolio plan

Is a qualification Important?
MoP™ is a unique qualification, providing evidence that you have an
excellent understanding of the processes and structure needed to manage projects, programmes and
change initiatives across your organisation
MoP™ is a strategic level qualification which gives those who already have
PRINCE2®, MSP® and Change Management qualifications an
opportunity to highlight to employers their ability to understand the wider
context of their work
MoP™ is a differentiator for those looking for development
opportunities in project and programme management, but feel
that they already hold sufficient project management qualifications
