3.6 Project Portfolio and Multi-project Management

Projectile also facilitates project portfolio management for any selected projects and qualitative characteristics.

Our project portfolio management is understood as the planning, regulation and supervision of an organisation. In times of decreasing budgets and time pressure, the question of selecting the right projects, the right time to realise them or the allocation of tight resources lying ahead becomes more important

The basis of the portfolio management is the compilation of projects. In the portfolio desktop, the projects can be compiled and the axes for the analyses be pre-defined. The indexes for the axes are, for example, plan effort, actual performance, plan turnover, value of offer, amount of invoice, probability and status, risks, use, classes and further criteria.

In Projectile, the chosen portfolio can be analysed either graphically in the form of a bubble chart or tabular.

For ongoing projects, usually a variety of indexes in reporting are used, for example commercial terms, like value of offer, valureof invoice, profitibility.

For the operative project and portfolio management, indexes like CPI, SPI or the earned value are often used.
