Project Portfolio guide

Use and architecture of Project Portfolio

The Project Portfolio can be used as a Body of Knowledge ans Skills and a platform for collaboration. At the Project Portfolio both existing knowledge and project results, but also work in progress or lessons learned from obtaining the results, can be saved and shared. In turn, this information can be used as a starting point for future projects, or to describe good practices, new knowledge or professional skills.

The Project Portfolio is hierarchical by nature. The portfolio consists of societal relevant programs. These may be subdivided into sub-programs. A program consists of a collection of projects. A project can also be split into sub-projects.

By default the information at the portfolio is shared with everyone. Sensitive information can be made accessible for a selected group of users only.
