Research results identified Key Success Factors in Strong Project Portfolio Management

Seek Simplicity

Create the Culture

Develop Strong Capabilities

The less complicated the approach to portfolio management, the more likely an organization can sustain its success. Organizations that excel in this area include only the information they need, not everything available.

Successful organizations cultivate competencies around specific portfolio management practices and portfolio decision-making capabilities in their journey to greater maturity.

When portfolio management becomes part of the organizational culture, senior leaders devote the time, education, and resources necessary to instill the practice.
