While project managers are focused on “getting the project done right” Portfolio Managers must focus on “getting the right projects done”. This places the role of the Portfolio Manager in a very key position that helps drive strategy in an organization. So how does the Portfolio Manager accomplish this?
-
Develop a process for prioritizing all projects across the organization.
-
A key technique for doing this is to develop a scorecard that is aligned to the organizations strategic objectives.
-
Force ranking the project list utilizing the above mentioned scorecard.
-
Ensuring that the portfolio has the best chance of success by allocating the organizational resources required to successfully deliver the projects.
-
Balancing the portfolio in such a way that short-term, mid-term, and long-term objectives are addressed in a reasonable mix that satisfies project sponsors.
-
Track the implementation and benefits against initial estimates.
-
Manage the portfolio with an end-to-end governance process that periodically reviews and reassesses the direction of the portfolio.
