How does it work?
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) refers to the centralized management of the processes, methods, and technologies employed by project managers and project management offices. This involves analyzing and collectively managing current or proposed projects based on a variety of key characteristics.

In a practical business context, PPM is used to align projects with business objectives, ensure effective resource allocation, and manage risks across multiple projects. It provides a comprehensive overview of all projects, allowing organizations to prioritize and sequence projects based on strategic objectives and capacity.
Real-World Impact
