### What is portfolio management in Workload?

Workload's portfolio management allows IT Directors to group projects into strategic portfolios, prioritize them with intelligent scoring (based on multiple criteria like ROI, strategic alignment, risk, effort), visualize multi-year roadmaps, run what-if scenarios, and track portfolio KPIs (budget, capacity, risks, alerts) in real-time.

### How does intelligent prioritization work?

Workload's intelligent prioritization uses automatic scoring based on configurable criteria (ROI, strategic alignment, risk level, effort, business value). Projects are ranked automatically, and you can visualize them on an Impact vs Effort matrix. You can filter and sort by score, priority, or any criteria.

### Can I create multiple portfolios?

Yes, you can create multiple portfolios to organize projects by business unit, strategic initiative, or any grouping. Each portfolio has its own dashboard with KPIs, roadmap, and prioritization. Projects can belong to multiple portfolios.

### What is the Impact vs Effort matrix?

The Impact vs Effort matrix is a visual tool that plots projects on a 2x2 grid: high impact/low effort (quick wins), high impact/high effort (major projects), low impact/low effort (fill-ins), and low impact/high effort (time wasters). This helps prioritize projects strategically.

### How do what-if scenarios work?

What-if scenarios allow you to simulate the impact of adding, removing, or modifying projects in a portfolio. You can see how changes affect budget, capacity, risks, and timelines. This helps make informed decisions about portfolio optimization.

### What KPIs are tracked in portfolio management?

Workload tracks multiple portfolio KPIs: total budget, spent vs allocated, capacity utilization, number of projects, active risks, alerts (conflicts, overloads, delays), and strategic alignment score. All KPIs are updated in real-time.

### Can I export portfolio reports?

Yes, you can export portfolio dashboards, roadmaps, prioritization matrices, and KPI reports to PDF or Excel. Reports can be customized with filters and date ranges for executive presentations.

### How does Workload portfolio management compare to Sciforma or MS Project?

Workload offers intelligent prioritization with automatic scoring, which Sciforma and MS Project lack. The Impact vs Effort matrix, what-if scenarios, and real-time portfolio KPIs provide better strategic visibility. Workload is also more affordable and easier to use than enterprise PPM tools.

### How does portfolio management connect to IT capacity planning?

Priorities and roadmaps only work if teams can deliver them. Workload connects portfolio decisions to IT capacity: utilization, skills, conflicts, and allocation—so executives see which initiatives are feasible under real resource constraints, not only on paper.

### Can I run a steering committee without Excel?

Yes. Workload supports official project RAG health, frozen committee snapshots, CODIR report widgets (RAG, benefits, top risks), and a 30-day PPM readiness checklist — so the PMO can run the room from the product, not a slide deck rebuilt every month.
