Project and Program Portfolio Management

Mission and organisation
The VPO has implemented a Demand Management (DM) and a Portfolio Management (PM) processes.
The DM covers the life cycle of project requests: reception, evaluation, analysis, prioritization and launch of the project or termination of the request.
The PM monitors the health of the entire portfolio of projects and programs and ensures that good practices are respected. It includes the assessment and the monitoring of dependencies between projects in the portfolio.
