Properly functioning project and portfolio management is key to maintaining competitiveness. This will ensure a realistic and balanced change plan (projects) and reduce the number of low-value projects (so-called pet-projects).
Management of Portfolios (MoP) is the highest management level of project and program management. It focuses on the implementation of strategic plans, setting priorities, approval, management and control of projects, programs and other activities that are planned by the top management of the organization.
This methodology will help you tackle small and large projects. The huge advantage is that it is modular and you can always use it for what is needed in the project. It won't burden you as much administratively and bureaucratically, yet it will help you keep an overview of the project. Until the end.
PRINCE2 is technology and industry neutral. It can be used for both IT and non-IT projects. It works great in any industry or sector.
Management of Portfolios will help you implement strategic goals and plans. By introducing MoP, you maximize ROI (return on investment), you adjust the priorities of projects and programs according to your needs, and all this with the allocation of only those resources (not only financial) that have been set aside for these activities.
In the role of Portfolio Manager, you will be primarily responsible for planning, controlling and managing strategic goals with the help of PRINCE2 projects and MSP Programs.
In other words, project and program management focuses on getting things right. Management of Portfolios is about doing the right things.
