PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to address the difficulties faced by manufacturing enterprises by providing a project portfolio management approach supporting the selection and prioritization of various Industry 4.0 projects where business process analysis is used to ensure the strategic alignment and value of the project portfolio.Design/methodology/approachThe design research methodology, a mixed applied research methodology, was used to develop and test the proposed approach.FindingsDespite the growing interest of the scientific and industrial communities in I4.0, it seems that there is no method by which manufacturing companies can select a large number of improvement projects. Moreover, studies tend to focus on the evaluation and implementation of a single technology, while the transformation of an intelligent plant requires the consolidation and coordination of many initiatives to achieve a global objective.Originality/valueThe proposed project portfolio management model offers support to enterprises during their digital transformation and improves their processes by integrating technology levers through consistent and achievable selection of I4.0 initiatives while meeting strategic goals and objectives.

Project portfolio management could be regarded as one of the most comprehensive ways of managing a software project environment. To implement such a management approach in a large organisation, could also be seen as an endeavour that can only have a chance of success if all role players understand the pitfalls involved and how to deal with each. In this paper, a structured approach is proposed to identifying and addressing pitfalls that may potentially hinder the successful implementation of project portfolio management as a strategic initiative in an organisation. Furthermore, the paper presents an approach to combine checklists and pitfall management theories to identify those pitfalls that may realise during the implementation of project portfolio management.

Non Profit Organizations

As they strive towards greater professionalism in carrying out their activities, non-profit organizations (NPOs) have begun paying attention to project management. The non-profit sector (NPS) has also begun to adopt strategic planning techniques, thus making the acceptance of project portfolio management (PPM) methodology a natural consequence. This article aims to propose a project portfolio management model adapted to the context of NPOs.
