PRINCE2 Portfolio Management

PRINCE2 Portfolio Management

With portfolio management organisations can make decisions about implementing the right changes to business as usual via projects and programmes. Portfolio management approaches the management of change projects and programmes from a strategic viewpoint and is not concerned with the detailed management of these projects and programmes.

The PRINCE2 Portfolio Management guidance provides senior executives and practitioners responsible for planning and implementing change, a set of principles, techniques and practices to introduce or re-energise portfolio management.

PRINCE2 Portfolio Management’s definition of portfolio management is: “A coordinated collection of strategic processes and decisions that together enable the most effective balance of organizational change and business as usual.” PRINCE2 Portfolio Management provides an overview of portfolio management, including the principles, techniques and practices alongside an organisation’s ‘business as usual' work.

PRINCE2 Portfolio Management helps organisations evaluate whether an investment is right for them and how it will contribute to their strategic objectives.

Any individual who would like to include information on their PRINCE2 Portfolio Management certification on a business card needs to take note of the following:
 
An AXELOS Trade Mark logo (e.g. the PRINCE2 Portfolio Management Swirl) cannot be used on business cards as they advertise a person/company and not the associated product.
 
An AXELOS word mark can (e.g. PRINCE2 Portfolio Management) be used on a business card as long as the correct symbology is used. For example:
