Project management commonly involves the general daily tasks concerning project planning, such as status, surveillance, inquiry, etc. The focus is on immediate goals and priorities: what activities are to be completed today, by whom, etc. These tools are available to help teams clarify daily goals, maintain budgets and timekeeping, and celebrate daily accomplishments and successes.
Project portfolio management is created for long-term far-reaching projects, processes, or product development. A worthwhile PPM will assist enterprise organizations in better understanding how a planned project, process, or new product development may affect the overall organization's performance and impact current resources. The PPM will show a comprehensive perspective of each and every project or process and how the new anticipated project or process may affect the relationships and dependencies between the processes throughout the entire enterprise. Managers, clients, and all stakeholders will have access to the PPM perspective, which will ensure all parties involved are aware of the anticipated success or potential challenges an enterprise may experience and provide direction for course correction.
