Is Portfolio Management the Same as Project Management?
Overview
Portfolio management systems are designed and created for a different purpose than project management systems. While portfolio management systems are lacking many project management capabilities, they do offer several unique advantages for high-level planning.

Portfolio management systems are advantageous for high-level organizational planning, but lack the capability to manage projects properly. Project management systems support the detailed oversight that is required for successful project execution. If a company can only invest in one of these systems, learn why a project management system provides a much greater return on investment.
