Triple Constraints in Portfolio Management:
Aligning the Investment View with Demand and Resource Management
The triple constraints in portfolio management are strategic alignment, value/benefits and demand/resources. In the investment portfolio, we focus on value, where we look for the best return on the cash available. From the demand angle, the focus is on resources and capacity. The available resources and capacity are first defined. Resources are then allocated to projects until the capacity is reached. The issue is: which projects get the limited resources? With structured, integrated demand management, we can develop a portfolio of high-value projects, while staying within the defined capacity.
Dr. Shan Rajegopal, Head of the PPM Practice for Pcubed in Europe, will highlight, with case examples, how some companies get the best value from their projects through a rational system of project selection, demand management and portfolio management processes, using a robust PPM tool as the core of a multi-functional system.
