Management of Portfolios (Managing Successful Portfolios)

I am still reading it but I would consider this as a portable mentor for your initiatives. Consult it often and as far as I am concerned, I will never “finish” it.

Easy to read and informative. I wish if they have provided templates to be used and help activate the function in organizations.

Portfolio Management has never been simplified while maintaining its comprehensiveness as been explained in this great book! After reading it, now i have the right knowledge and tools to tune our organization's process in a very effective and scientific way. I highly recomended this read for Strategy & Protfolio/Program Managers.

This is an outstanding book on process management, and should be required reading for all MBA students. The models, charts, and graphs are superb. Peter R. Bartling

This book (and associated course) fills a significant void in the Portfolio, Programme and Project Management space, by providing a clear Portfolio Management Methodology that is sound and tailorable for all organizations... which is particularly relevant in today's resource constrained economic times where tough decisions need to be made. This is the capstone for OGC as it brilliantly ties in the PRINCE2, MSP, MoR, P3O methodologies (along with P3M3) in a service and benefits offering that is relevant for senior management. However, this book is for the actual Portfolio Management team, not senior management or the executive. For senior management or the executive I would strongly suggest An Executive Guide to Portfolio Management . This manual does presume a certain understanding and experience with the subject matter. Unlike the other OGC best practice methodology manuals, though this one also is designed to help practitioners through the exams, I found it an easier read with more case studies... as with the other manuals it is also an invaluable reference manual as well. Also, for practitioners that have passed the course and exam, I would also recommend either the online or PDF version as it is nice to have the information, graphics and templates available in electronic format.

A quick and price effective way to get access to this textbook. I was however a bit let down with the quality of the images/diagram as you are blurry and hard to read even when enlarged.

An important working guide for any Portfolio office. Written in a simple easy to follow style, this book will provide you with everything you need to know to follow best practice.

As ever from this organization, a well-produced document. It is more useful for helping you set up a portfolio management organization than going deep into how to optimize the management of your project and program portfolio.

Terrific book. Best read in the context of the full Axelos book set. Important knowledge and tools to apply in capital portfolio planning and execution in larger organizations.

Ganz wie erwartet liefert das Buch gemäß der Best Management Practice was zum Portfolio dazu gehört, wie es zu kategorisieren und zu bewerten ist, nach welchen Modellen und Regeln eine Optimierung möglich ist. Dieses Buch gehört klar zu den Werken, die man gelesen haben muss zusammen mit den anderen vom OGC. Es ist wichtig, dass das Buch am besten im Kontext und Zusammenspiel von PRINCE2, MSP, M_o_R und ITIL wirken lässt. Den größten Nutzen kann man daher aus diesem Buch nur in Kenntnis der anderen Best Management Practice Werke ziehen. Dies wäre dann auch quasi ein "Kritikpunkt". Insgesamt eine TOP Empfehlung.
