Create a portfolio board that includes representatives from each department and meets regularly to review the whole portfolio

Require each department to produce a monthly project status report

Appoint a single project manager to oversee all projects

Outsource project approval to an external consultancy

Review the benefits realization process and strengthen the link between portfolio decisions and outcome tracking

Rebrand portfolio management with a new name to create renewed interest

Increase the frequency of portfolio reviews to monthly

Reduce the scope of the portfolio to only the most critical projects

A retail chain with multiple franchises is implementing portfolio management. The franchises have different levels of maturity and local priorities. The head office wants a consistent approach but also wants to respect local autonomy. Which implementation approach is most appropriate?

Let each franchise develop its own portfolio process independently

A single, standardized portfolio process imposed on all franchises with no local variation

Which type of evidence is most useful for assessing the impact of portfolio management?

The volume of documentation produced

The number of tools used in portfolio management

The number of meetings held by the portfolio management office
