BIGGEST CHALLENGE:
PRIORITIZATION

When asked further about prioritization, we heard that saying “no” to projects was the top related struggle at 42%, followed by accurately “scoring ” the value of portfolio projects at 33%. Additional elements like aligning portfolio projects with corporate strategy (8%), modeling scenarios to optimize portfolio value (9%), and tracking the value portfolio projects deliver (8%) were cited less often. The trends from these responses showcase potential greater red flags for PMO leaders that will be discussed later in the report.
