Project management focuses on planning and delivering an individual project. Portfolio management brings multiple projects and initiatives together to assess the overall mix, progress, benefits and risks.
How does the bubble chart help you understand your portfolio?
The configurable bubble chart displays several measures together. Risk, project benefits and planned effort can then provide a basis for comparing initiatives.
What remains the role of demand management?
Demand management captures and evaluates new project requests and prepares them for approval. The portfolio view puts these proposals in context alongside existing projects.
