As a Program or Project Portfolio Manager of your organization, you need to allocate budgets and plan change initiatives that advance overarching business goals. Everyone wants to get their plans funded but it’s your duty to decide what gets prioritized. You also need to discover ways to plan all these initiatives in a coherent way while taking various dependencies into account.

Challenges to program and project portfolio management
