“Doing the right things right!” That is one of the main aspects of portfolio management. But how this translates into an institution or company while implementing it? The challenge of implementing project portfolio management is to to look at the theory guidelines while executing it for a practical use. We look at the experiences in the implementation of project portfolio management at DLR – the German Aerospace center – from a best practice to a best adopted practice. The interfaces of project portfolio management and business analysis will also be considered
from a view of a practitioner.
