Why is portfolio management so important?
Portfolio management helps organizations translate strategy into a portfolio of initiatives – so that directors can make considered decisions about how best to invest resources, such as time and money to achieve an optimum results from their investment.
What is a portfolio manager’s role in an organization?
Portfolio managers are crucial in composing and implementing a portfolio of (change) initiatives, projects and programs that are required to achieve an organization’s strategic objectives.
Portfolio managers continually evaluate which projects add the most value; they prioritize initiatives and ensure that scarce resources such as budget, personnel and time are deployed in the most efficient manner.
Risk management is also an important part of this role. The idea is that the organization is helped to make a careful consideration between expected yield and the risk associated with the change.
Finally, portfolio managers cooperate closely with the parties involved throughout the entire organization to ensure clear communication and agreement among all players.
Why take a portfolio management training course?
Training and portfolio management teaches you to manage and prioritize investments, projects and resources optimally. You gain insight into how projects can be coordinated with an organization’s strategic objectives so that you obtain the greatest profit from the available resources.

Portfolio management in depth
Various methods are available within portfolio management to manage projects and programs at the strategic level. One important methodology is Management of Portfolios (MoP®). MoP® provides a structured approach for selecting and prioritizing projects that contribute to an organization’s strategic objectives.
Portfolio management helps organizations optimize their portfolio by continuously evaluating which projects deliver the most value and how best to deploy resources such as budget and personnel.
SAFe® Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) offers an agile approach for organizations that work with decentralized teams. This methodology places the focus on creating flexibility within a portfolio so that organizations can respond rapidly to changing circumstances without losing their strategic direction. LPM ensures that all initiatives are in line with the business strategy, while teams at the operational level can work autonomously.
Both methodologies provide practical tools for managing portfolios effectively with the goal of maximizing value and managing risk within an organization.
