Course overview

Managing a portfolio of projects is different from managing any single project. Portfolio management sets which work gets done, in what order, and with what resources, so the combined effort moves the organisation toward its strategic goals rather than consuming capacity on the wrong priorities. When circumstances shift sharply, as they did after COVID-19, portfolios that were built for one set of assumptions need to be rebuilt for another.

Portfolio tools and processes support strategic realignment after disruption. Delegates work through how to identify, select and prioritise portfolio components, how to plan and govern a portfolio, and how to allocate resources against organisational capacity. COVID-19 provides context for examining changes in strategy, standard roles and portfolio planning.

The programme covers portfolio governance and its relationship to broader organisational governance, stakeholder management, risk management and value management. By day five, delegates are working through Portfolio Management Information Systems and the reporting mechanisms, including KPI dashboards, that keep a portfolio visible and controllable.

Course objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

  1. Apply the main concepts and principles of portfolio management
  2. Build a portfolio and identify and evaluate its components
  3. Prepare a prioritised portfolio register and produce a portfolio plan

  5. Measure and report portfolio performance through KPIs and dashboards
