Course Overview
Strategic Portfolio Management is the process an organization uses to select, prioritize, and manage resources within its portfolio of programs, projects, and initiatives, which are used to meet strategic goals and objectives.
In this course, you will be introduced to the Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) applications and learn how SPM encompasses a range of business capabilities, processes, and technological support aimed at enabling organizations to implement the three key attributes that help to see superior business results from their digital and technology-related investments: portfolio alignment, value-oriented decision-making, and continuous portfolio adaptability.
