Project portfolio management, often abbreviated to PPM, is a logical next step for many organizations as the volume of projects continues to grow and oversight disappears. More and more organizations are discovering that it is not enough to successfully execute projects individually. The question that should be central is: are we working on the right projects, at the right time and with the right resources? PPM provides the answer to that question.
PPM helps organizations and project leaders make sharp choices, increase impact and deploy resources optimally, so that each project actually contributes to strategic objectives. Those who apply it properly experience more focus, transparency and predictable results. In short: it ensures a grip on your project landscape, in which several projects run simultaneously, and accelerates the realization of your ambitions.
Organizations are moving in a world where strategy is no longer a fixed dot on the horizon, but a constantly evolving course. At the same time, time, budget, capacity and attention are scarce. Yet all kinds of initiatives often arise: innovation projects, customer projects, improvement programs, digitalization projects, security initiatives, compliance obligations, you name it.
Many organizations recognize this picture:
This is where project portfolio management brings change. The goal is not just grip, but more importantly maximize value at the organizational level.
Project portfolio management is a discipline that supports management in selecting, prioritizing and directing projects, programs and initiatives. The portfolio usually includes all change activities within an organization.
The bottom line: PPM ensures that the projects in which time and money are invested actually contribute to strategy, growth and continuity of the organization.
PPM is a continuous cycle in which three questions recur:
Whereas project management focuses on the execution of one project, PPM focuses on the cohesion between all projects.
Not every idea has to become a project. A good portfolio starts with selection. Often assessment criteria such as:
On that basis, each initiative is given a place: implement, postpone, modify or reject.
A healthy portfolio includes a mix of short-term and long-term projects, with differences in risk profile and impact. Consider:
Balance ensures that the organization remains healthy now and in the future.
Even when projects look profitable on paper, they can founder due to a shortage of people with the right skills. PPM looks at resource utilization organization-wide to prevent overload and plan realistically.
A portfolio never stands still. Through periodic evaluation, projects can be:
To do this, it is essential to define clear KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) at both the project and portfolio level in advance. Think of strategic value, lead time, budget, risk reduction or resource utilization.
Project management KPIs focus on the performance and progress of individual projects, such as whether deadlines are met, work is done within budget and whether the desired quality is delivered.
In contrast, portfolio management KPIs look at the overall picture: to what extent do all current projects collectively contribute to the organization's strategic goals? These include indicators such as total portfolio value creation, the balance between innovations and mandatory projects, and the extent to which resources are effectively deployed.
Combining project management KPIs and portfolio management KPIs creates actual steering information at all levels. This makes it easier to make decisions about whether to continue, pause or stop projects and prevents wasting time and money on projects that no longer contribute to strategy.
The latter is perhaps the most important strength of PPM: no more wasting time and money on projects that do not add value.
Clear decision-making is essential:
For a PPM process to be effective, it must be based on objective data and supported by management.
1. Better strategic focus
Everyone knows why projects are implemented. Projects that don't fit the strategy automatically fade into the background.
2. More efficient use of resources
Less waste, less parallel work and better use of capacity.
3. Faster decision-making
With a clear process, discussions are shorter and priorities are unified.
4. Greater strength and agility
Because you are constantly testing whether something is still relevant, it is possible to shift gears earlier when circumstances change.
5. Higher employee engagement
Teams experience more peace, clarity and focus. This increases the likelihood that projects are actually successful.
In a nutshell: PPM increases the likelihood that an organization will move forward instead of continuing to run without direction.
PPM is not a software product or a one-time implementation, but an organizational process. A simple step-by-step model looks like this:
Although every organization sets it up slightly differently, we often see these main roles:
An important principle: no governance = no PPM. Without clear agreements, decision-making remains arbitrary.
Many organizations start PPM with simple tools such as Excel and dashboards. That's fine as a starting point, as long as decision information is reliable, current and comparable. Later, specialized tools can help with:
But tooling is never the starting point. PPM starts with clear choices and discipline.
PPM works best when a number of conditions are met:
1. Strategic goals are clear and communicated.
2. Decision making is transparent and based on facts.
3. The top of the organization actively propagates the process.
4. There is portfolio discipline: agreements are kept.
5. Projects that do not (or no longer) provide value are discontinued.
6. Employees are involved in the process and understand the added value.
Organizations that take these conditions seriously see that PPM brings not only structure, but also energy: space for projects that really matter.
We live in a time of rapid change: digitization, security threats, personnel shortages, new business models. PPM supports this changing reality. It ensures that organizations can adjust without losing sight of their long-term goals. This makes PPM a critical success factor for continuity and growth.
Project portfolio management is not about another layer of management or extra documentation. It's about making conscious choices:
PPM helps organizations connect projects to strategy, avoid waste and increase their impact. It makes visible not only what is happening, but more importantly why it is happening. And that is exactly what is needed in a world where "everything seems important," but not everything is important. Valid supports organizations in setting up and professionalizing their project portfolio management. Together, we ensure that choices are and remain future-proof.
