OVERVIEW	Project Portfolio Management ensures that the collection of projects as selected by management meet the goals of the organisation.  It is the link between aspirations of the business and business reality. Whilst project management and program management are concerned with “doing work right”, portfolio management focuses on “doing the right work”. Managing the portfolio is an ongoing business function, like financial management or corporate risk management. It is a permanent activity, whereas projects and programs are of a temporary nature. Portfolio management provides the means to: Establish the appropriate structure for selection of programs and projects Allocation of the right resources to the appropriate programs and projects Ensure ongoing alignment of programs and projects with strategic objectives Optimise organisational investment Providing information and recommendations to decision makers at all levels
