Rather than being a new discipline, portfolio management builds on, and co-ordinates, existing processes such as strategic planning, investment appraisal along with project and programme management. The Management of Portfolios (MoP™) guidance provides advice and examples of how to apply principles, practices, and techniques that together enable the most effective balance of organisational change and business as usual.
