Initiatives Portfolio Management (IPM) terms of referencePurpose Objectives
The IPM is a (cross) functional peer review team which objectively assesses current and candidate projects in the portfolio and approves any new initiatives and stage-gate reviews.
• Propose new initiatives for endorsement• Review and align on the key projects in the current project portfolio and their lifecycle stage• Ensure that all projects have consistent project charters and business cases, which aim to identify the contribution
to achieving strategic targets and identify the sponsor and project manager. (Please note, for in-flight projects, where there are no robust business cases then a rapid assessment of the projects will be undertaken to determine their key parameters, which are cost, resource requirements, and contribution to strategic objectives)
• Generate quick wins in identifying, reorienting or stopping initiatives that are not clearly contributing to strategic objectives, lack clear sponsorship or may overlap with other initiatives
• Build and enforce program and portfolio management best practice
