Manage Your Project Portfolio, 2nd Edition

Chapter 10Scaling Portfolio Management to an Enterprise

One of the questions I heard between the first edition and this edition was, “How do I scale what I do with my team or a couple of teams to the entire organization?” If you have a large organization you might also have this question, and this chapter gives you the answer.

In this chapter, you’ll see how you scale from both directions: bottom up and top down. Do not try to “scale” the project portfolio using either one mode or the other. You need the details to discriminate among each project at the group or business unit level. You need the mission or strategy at the enterprise level to make large decisions.
