Portfolio management is the disciplined process of making informed investment decisions based on balancing existing information systems and technology with strategic and business objectives of the domain. The strategic goals and business objectives drive the performance measures prescribed by the balanced score card. Analyzing operational performance against logistics performance goals and objectives in the context of the balanced score card identifies the capability and performance gaps that need to be addressed by the investment strategy. The portfolio management process consists of gathering consistent data on all investments; applying standard criteria regarding logistics performance, mission, risk, and finance to investments; and prioritizing and approving the investments that provide the best mix to meet performance objectives of the Domain. Component architecture plays a key role in the portfolio management process. The processes surrounding portfolio management and the development and use of balanced score card are currently being addressed and will be incorporated in the EI Toolkit in a future release.
