The Groundwork Necessary for Achieving Successful Project Portfolio Management Solutions

Measuring new and existing project performance consistently with an objective set of evaluation metrics keeps the portfolio optimized through a balance between risk and reward. This objectivity makes difficult stage-gate decisions easier and reduces the latency in new product development that arises from lack of information and coordination.

In addition, the ability to access the relevant information on strategic alignment, risk and reward against resource constraints enables calculated portfolio decisions to be made quickly outside of stage-gate meetings based on changing business dynamics.

The byproduct of this greater information access is transparency and accountability that keeps the product pipeline healthy, prepares the organization to execute successfully on their commitments resulting in stronger customer relationships. An important part of this execution is making project performance visible to everyone on the project team.
