What is Portfolio Management?• Identify, Select, Prioritize,

govern and Monitor Projects– Provides objective and

quantifiable criteria for selecting investments

• Based on Alignment to Strategy

• With the goal of maximizing ROI

Portfolio Management aligns Strategy to what gets done.9


Why do we need Portfolio Management?

up with the pace of the constantly changing market

We need flexibility to keep up with constant change.10

maximize profit• Strategy

This leads to the need to:• Compare

investments against each other

• Choose the portfolio of investments that provides maximum value

business• Derive Prioritization

model from this• Establish

disciplined Portfolio Mgt.

You can’t do everything
