Financial Aspects of Project Portfolio Management
Overview:

The Challenge
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is known for helping organizations choose and fund projects that will help fulfill Business Strategy. In that sense, the impact of PPM on an organization's financial results is clear. But there are many other financial aspects to PPM, to the point where, on close examination, PPM appears to be more of a financial function than a project management one. If this is not well understood, how are organizations to take advantage of this important aspect of PPM?

The Solution
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is one of the most powerful business processes that any organization can implement today. Because it ties business strategy to governance process and project investment, PPM requires mastery of many disciplines, including some that are inherently financial in nature.
