About the Project Portfolio template
A Project Portfolio is a centralized view of all active, planned, and proposed projects, capturing status, priority, resources, and strategic alignment in one place. It lets leaders compare initiatives side by side, balance capacity against demand, and decide which projects to fund, pause, or stop. Without it, teams overcommit and low-value work quietly crowds out strategic priorities.
It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.

Tips & common mistakes
- π‘Score projects on consistent criteria (value, risk, effort) so ranking is comparable, not gut-feel
- π‘Review capacity against the whole portfolio, not one project at a time; overcommitment is the most common failure
- π‘Keep a killed or on-hold column visible so stopped work stays a deliberate decision, not a forgotten one
How it works
- 1. Fill it in β type directly into the fields, tables and sections above.
- 2. Brand it β add your organization name and logo with the Branding button.
- 3. Export β print to PDF, or become a member to white-label and sync across devices.
FAQ
How is a project portfolio different from a program?οΌ
A program is a group of related projects managed together to deliver a shared outcome, while a portfolio spans all projects and programs regardless of whether they are related, focusing on strategic fit and resource allocation.
How do you prioritize projects in a portfolio?οΌ
Rank projects using consistent criteria such as strategic value, expected return, risk, and resource cost, then weigh them against available capacity so only what the organization can realistically deliver is approved.
Who owns the project portfolio?οΌ
Ownership typically sits with a PMO, portfolio manager, or executive steering committee that governs which projects start, continue, or stop, while individual project managers report status into it.
