How Resource Portfolio Management (RPM) Differs from Project Portfolio Management (PPM)

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), portfolio management can be classified into two major disciplines – portfolio resource management and project portfolio management.

All too often, project portfolio management (PPM) systems offer limited and inflexible resource management methods. Because of the limitations of managing a project portfolio, resource management can pose huge challenges and unpredictability to your process.

“What you want, as a portfolio or resource manager, is an optimized utilization of the resources you have, with ‘just-right’ commitments to get projects done and support existing applications. What you have is a tsunami of work requests to ‘get it done now,’ some ‘back of the envelope’ resourcing calculations and sliced-thin commitments spread out over a sea of work.”
