Overview/Description
Portfolio managers have a great deal of responsibility within an organization; not only do they have to be mindful of individuals responsible for managing portfolio components, but they also have to be mindful of executive management, which sets the strategy. All the project managers within the portfolio might think that their projects are the most important. But it's the portfolio manager who must make assessments using set methodologies and, sometimes more importantly, have the experience necessary to make the hard decisions that will benefit the organization. This course will introduce the core concepts of portfolio management, including definitions and comparisons of portfolios, projects, and program management, portfolio management relationships, and the roles and responsibilities of the portfolio manager. This course is aligned to PMI's® The Standard for Portfolio Management.
