MoP®

It is not a new discipline. Portfolio Management, MoP®, coordinates existing processes such as strategic planning, investment assessment and programme and project management. However, it does not go into detail on how to manage programmes and projects, rather it approaches them from a strategic angle as can be understood from the actual definition of Portfolio Management in MoP: the coordinated set of processes and decisions that together create a perfect balance between change and the day-to-day management of the business.

Portfolio Management according to MoP can be successfully used inside specific Management departments or functions of an organisation such as "IT Portfolio". Generally, the best results are obtained when it is used by Top-Tier Management to manage the transformation and change of the whole organisation.

Portfolio Management according to MoP poses the following basic questions:

• Are we doing the right things?
• Are we doing them in the right way?
• Above all, are we getting all the predicted benefits from the changes we are introducing?

Portfolio Management MoP helps to increase the probability of giving a positive answer to these base questions and it does so by managing two cycles: Portfolio definition and supply.
