Project and program management focus on “doing the work right,” while project portfolio management (PPM) deals with “doing the right work.” PPM is a vital part of ensuring the success of the organization’s overall strategic plan.
This Project Portfolio Management Project Prioritization Scoring Tool (2023 edition) uses an array of primarily objective criteria to help technology and business leaders assess and prioritize projects to best achieve strategic objectives. Exceptional PPM and PMO Solutions™ and Exceptional Agility™ provides this tool a basic example for review and potential adaptation and adoption. The strategic objectives, criteria, scales, and other details must be tailored to your organization’s unique needs.
A high-resolution version of the infographic (5.6 MB PDF) is available here.

When did Agile begin? Some say the answer is 2001, but that date doesn't appropriately reflect history. Agile's origins — including incremental software development — can be clearly traced back to 1957. Agile has a relatively long and colorful history. Many key events occurred before, during, and after 2001.
Agile Has a Long and Colorful Heritage: A Timeline Infographic highlights key events and advancements in agile over time. A criteria for inclusion is that each entry has one or more objective and credible citation(s). This infographic references matters spanning from 1957 to 2008; it's not an exhaustive list of every possible event.
