Project Portfolio Management (PPM) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) have lots in common. Both frameworks are extremely useful in bridging an organization’s strategy and execution. Project Management Institute (PMI) has designed the detailed guidelines for implementing Portfolio Management in an organization. There are several frameworks including TOGAF define the detailed methodology for developing Enterprise Architecture. However, there is no formal link that exists between PPM and EA. For example, an organization can choose to use Portfolio Management as the only key tool in executing an organization strategy without having a formal Enterprise Architecture in place. The objective of the session is to compare and contrast the two and highlight the benefits that can be achieved by synchronizing them. The session would also include examples from Honeywell Technology Solution’s IT unit’s in-house Portfolio Management framework.
