Abstract

Predmet istraživanja su metodike upravljanja projektnim portfeljem i mogućnost njihovog poboljšanja, na temelju obogaćivanja agilnim i lean (vitkim, okretnim) konceptima i metodama. Postojeći modeli i procesi upravljanja projektnim portfeljima koriste tradicionalne principe, procedure, planiranje i metode nadzora. Međutim, iako se radi o području intenzivnih istraživanja, agilno i lean upravljanje je relativno novo područje za koje još uvijek nedostaju odgovarajuće spoznaje i praktični rezultati vezani uz utjecaj agilnog pristupa i metodika na procese upravljanja, rizike i kvalitetu. Istraživanje je potvrdilo da predloženi konceptualni okvir upravljanja, koji proizlazi kao jedan od glavnih znanstvenih doprinosa ovog istraživanja, može poboljšati izvedbu menadžmenta procesa projektnih portfelja te smanjiti rizike izvedbe komponenata portfelja (projekata i programa).

Abstract (english)

The subject of this research is project portfolio governance, and its improvement based on agile and lean methods and concepts. The existing project portfolio frameworks and governance processes use traditional principles, regulation, planning, and control methods. Whilst this is an area of intensive research, the agile and lean governance is a relative new domain, for which a certain cognizance and practical results related to influence of agile approach and methods on governance processes, risks, and quality are missing. This research confirms that the new proposed conceptual governance framework, emerging as one of the main scientific contributions from this research, improves the management of project portfolio processes’ execution and reduces the risks of portfolio components’ (projects and programs) implementation.
The expected scientific contribution from this research is foremost methodological in introducing of agile and lean project portfolio governance concepts, methods, and processes, followed by creation of the referent agile process governance framework and its taxonomy, and finally in the evaluation of the possibility for the application of the agile governance framework, with the aim of the portfolio components’ implementation risks reduction.
