Abstract

IT project portfolio management is in place in most large organizations to effectively manage complex portfolios of IT projects and balance them with business strategy. To achieve portfolio performance, a realistic view of the so-called health of the IT project portfolio is crucial. Nevertheless, portfolio risks can affect the success of a portfolio and the achievement of its strategic intentions. Several studies have been published on criteria that determine the health and risks of a project portfolio. However, current scientific literature lacks a theoretically grounded and practice-based understanding of how a specific occurring risk may affect the future health of an IT project portfolio. Therefore, this study designs and validates a reference model of relationships between portfolio risks and health. We argue that this reference model can help organizations assess and monitor their IT project portfolio risks with greater confidence.
