Utilities can no longer just focus on the processes, people and risks associated with singular projects to achieve success; a more holistic, complete view is required. Portfolio management helps standardize project management practices across large project volumes, enabling you to optimize execution and meet scope, schedule and cost requirements. Whether a single complex project or a multi-project portfolio, portfolio management and project execution will help you meet regulatory requirements with confidence while closely monitoring return on invested capital.

A Comprehensive Program

Effective portfolio management provides your organization’s leadership with project management and reporting that outlines the requirements and performance of all projects at a given point of time. By developing a comprehensive portfolio management program, energy and utility organizations can:

• Better align projects and programs to the organization’s strategic goals and objectives
• Minimize the impact of individual asset and project risks on the organization’s risk exposure
• Realize cost-efficiencies and better manage project constraints

This approach enables the most optimal utilization of capital and resources by managing project portfolio risks, streamlining project decision-making and improving collaboration.

• Optimize project resource requirements
• Meet scope requirements on schedule and on budget
• Successfully face market and regulatory pressures
• Reduce duplication and costs
• Earn a fair rate of return on invested capital
