Having access to the right data at the correct time is at the core of good project portfolio management. When decision-makers do not have access to the right data, you can only expect mediocre results. Portfolio management involves the selection of the right projects and portfolio optimization to deliver the highest benefits. It also involves safeguarding portfolio value by ensuring that you deliver value, and improving the value of your portfolio by streamlining organizational processes. Right data is necessary at every step. The quality of data, as well as its quantity, are directly related to portfolio maturity.
