As per PMI – A Portfolio is a collection of Projects or Programs and other work that

are quantifiable; that is, they can be measured, ranked and prioritized.
As per OGC – An organization’s portfolio is the totality of its investment (or
segment thereof) in the changes required to achieve its strategic objectives.
What is a Portfolio Management

Components to achieve specific organizational objectives.

processes and decisions that together enable the most effective balance of
