PPM – Projects Portfolio Management

PPM Mission and organisation

PPM is the acronym for Projects Portfolio Management. This working group was initiated by the VPSI and aims to contribute to monitoring, the control and the portfolio management of projects involving EPFL Information Systems. If you have any questions, please contact the PPM coordinator: Chiara Mugelli von Burg.

The main missions are:

  • Analyse new IT project requests and deliver opinions.
  • Ensure alignment of new projects with EPFL and VPSI strategies.
  • Validate the entry of new projects into the PPM portfolio.
  • Ensure added value and quality of the projects.
  • Rank and prioritize the projects of the portfolio (in agreement with the Vice-Presidents, projects sponsors, steering committees and project managers).
  • Track portfolio and project evolution (indicators, reports, etc.).
  • Discuss internal EPFL changes (policies, business processes, strategies, etc.) with PPM members.
  • Advise on control and project management.
  • Provide project support for HR, financial resources and communication management.
