Project portfolio management deals with organizing and managing a set of projects in an organization. Each organization has its own way of managing the portfolio that meets its business goals. One of the main challenges is to track project performance across the entire portfolio in a timely and effective manner. It allows managers to diagnose performance trends and identify projects in need of attention, giving them the opportunity to take management action in a timely fashion. This paper investigates the use of Earned Value Management (EVM) for tracking project performance across the portfolio, and explores the benefits of an interactive visualization technique called Treemaps to display project performance metrics for the entire portfolio on a single screen.
