Portfolio Management

Portfolio management governs selection, prioritization, funding, and performance of collections of investments aligned to strategy. In EA context, it connects architecture roadmaps, application lifecycles, and benefit tracking. Effective portfolio management requires transparent criteria and executive decision forums.

In Practice

Larkinized LLC aligns portfolio management with capability-based planning and architecture governance to avoid duplicate platforms. Architects supply heatmaps, rationalization analysis, and dependency data to portfolio reviews. Retirements receive equal rigor as new builds.

Example

Portfolio management defers a regional analytics purchase until enterprise data platform work package completion.
