Preproject Portfolio Management

The preproject political maneuvering whereby an organisation must choose wisely between the many opportunities in which to invest their limited resources in order to maximise stakeholder ROI.

Four feasibility issues to consider:

• Economic - does it make sense from a business point of view
• Technical - technical capability and availability of skills
• Operational - are you capable of keeping the system running
• Political - will the system be tolerated and the changes it will engender
