What does the Project and Program Portfolio Standard Requirements include?
The product includes approximately 60 downloadable files - a mix of PDFs and XLSX spreadsheets - organised into a Platinum Tier of six core playbooks, plus sections for getting started, self-assessment, requirements, models, processes, performance, governance, sustainment, advanced topics and quick reference cards. All files are delivered by email within 24 business hours and are ready for immediate use.
Every organisation that struggles to align projects and programmes with strategic goals risks missed deadlines, wasted spend and costly governance failures. Without a clear, repeatable way to assess portfolio health you may face failed audits, lost stakeholder confidence and competitive disadvantage. The Project and Program Portfolio Standard Requirements playbook eliminates that risk by giving you a proven, evidence-based framework to diagnose, optimise and govern every initiative across your enterprise.
