Project portfolio management system

Abstract

The scope of this research is to develop a management framework through the adapted techniques of Project Portfolio Management. Specifically, the developed framework is designed for the resource allocation of the current projects and the resource planning for the future projects from a strategic viewpoint. As governed by the multi-projects nature of the business, Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is used in this research as a theoretical background in which the PPM techniques are applied and investigated in the context of the case study company. And finally, the suggestive system is to seek for a long-term solution over ad-hoc problem solving for the delay problem. Moreover, the research introduces the rationale used to design the suggestive PPM framework. In this manner, the proposed framework is discussed in details of its application and logic in relation to the solution to the resource interdependency problem between projects. Mainly, the explanations of the PPM Framework are divided into three parts; Portfolio Plan (PP), Projects Monitor and Control, and Project Selection. The main benefit following this research is for the case study company to be able to apply the developed framework in order to align the production’s output to meet the delivery deadlines of the projects.
