Abstract

This chapter is intended primarily for managers who are preparing to implement portfolio management concepts in an organization and students of IT Project Management courses at the Masters level, who wish to understand the difference between Project and Portfolio Management. As IT Governance is gaining importance, the IT department should not be surprised if they are given a mandate from the senior management to implement a Governance framework. Portfolio Management principles are the foundations of building an effective governance. While there is literature available discussing portfolio management at the conceptual level, there is not enough available which translates these concepts into tactical implementation. This could be because implementation differs between organizations and there is no one size fits all solution. However, practitioners can benefit from discussing implementation approaches that can be tailored to suit individual needs. This chapter shows one of the many ways to implement a portfolio management framework.
