BACKGROUND: A common but misunderstood question related to project portfolio management is “what is a Project Portfolio Manager?” and “what does a Project Portfolio Manager do”? Most articles get this wrong because it is discussed from a theoretical point of view, not based on actual practice. As we will see, we cannot make the simple translation that because Project Managers manage projects, Portfolio Managers must manage portfolios - it’s not that simple. In the world of project and portfolio management, several roles are involved. The Project Manager role has been analyzed in depth, and we will briefly cover the related roles in project and program management, but in this post, we will dive into the details of what a portfolio manager really does and the related roles involved in project portfolio management.
