It has been a great experience learning about Project Management as a student of the Institute of Project Management. The course was entirely online, which sometimes has its own challenges but the used tools were smooth and easy to use which helps greatly with following the lectures and studying the modules.

Driving Success with Effective Project Portfolio Management

Managing multiple projects without a structured approach can lead to resource bottlenecks, misalignment with business goals, and wasted investment. Project Portfolio Management (PPM) ensures that organisations prioritise the right projects, allocate resources efficiently, and align project execution with strategic objectives.

This course takes a hands-on approach to mastering PPM. Through real-world case studies—including NASA’s Mars missions and high-stakes corporate portfolio balancing—you’ll learn how to apply PPM frameworks, optimise project selection, and manage risks at the portfolio level. This course equips you with the skills to drive business value and improve decision-making across multiple projects.
