Why MoP?

The most managers mistakenly believe that Management of Portfolio is nothing but higher level of project management.

Portfolio Management is primarily about implementing changes while maximizing benefits, giving projects the right priorities, effectively allocating limited resources. Project management is primarily about doing things right, while the portfolio focuses on the realization of the right things.

Learn the best practice to be able to work as an informed member of a Portfolio Office or in a range of portfolio management roles.

In addition to providing a basic understanding of what Portfolio Management entails, information will be conveyed which describes practice methods, approaches, and strategic change principles.
