Project Portfolio Management

Project portfolio management has been a much neglected element within many organizations' approaches to project management which is counter-intuitive when you consider the potential it offers. Alfonso Bucero's Project Portfolio Management recognizes the value of this technique as a means of enabling decisions on which projects to approve, which to reject and which to fast-track. The author explains the relationship of portfolio management to project and program management and places all three elements in the context of organizational success. The text then uses models, templates and examples to provide the reader with a battery of tools for making portfolio management decisions and realising the results of those decisions.
