Project portfolio management FAQ

What is project portfolio management?

Or, what is PPM? Project portfolio management (PPM) is a process of selecting, prioritizing, and managing a set of projects to achieve specific strategic goals and objectives.

It involves assessing the projects’ strategic fit, benefits, costs, and risks to determine their relative priority and funding.
