Introduction
This Portfolio Management and investment analysis course address a gap in the Management-by-projects field across all types of organizations (i.e., profit, nonprofit, and government)- that is, the need for a documented set of processes that represent generally recognized good practices in the discipline of portfolio management. While project management and program management have traditionally focused on “doing the work right,” portfolio management is concerned with “doing the right work.” The term “portfolio” has been in use for some time and is used throughout many diverse organizations; therefore, the term has come to represent different meanings. It is recognized that there are many types and varieties of portfolios; for example, in the financial industry, a portfolio is a collection of investment instruments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, etc.). This standard does not attempt to address those types of portfolios; furthermore, there is no attempt to bridge this standard to those other kinds of portfolios. For the purpose of this standard, the focus is on “project portfolio” management. It will be referred to simply as “portfolio” management.
