Reduced Project Risk
Spikes in project risk are a major cause of project delays and budget overruns. By understanding and gaining visibility into the risks of individual projects, you will be able to balance the overall risk of your portfolio and complete more projects on time and in budget. A certain percentage of your overall project costs can be attributed to risk (your Risk Factor) and shows up in the cost of overruns, delays of benefits, and administrative costs to manage the risk. Portfolio Intelligence allows you to reduce overall risks and therefore reduce your overall spending on projects.

Reduced Project Costs
Another way to calculate the benefit of Portfolio Intelligence is to just apply a percentage reduction to your overall project costs. Industry analysts report that companies that have implemented a project portfolio management solution have reduced their project costs 2-5% on average. Cost avoidance comes from elimination of manual tracking of project data, elimination of redundant systems and information, elimination of work on bad projects, elimination of duplication of effort on projects and early cancellation of bad projects.

Increased Impact of Projects to Business
What is the financial value of selecting better projects in the first place - projects that truly benefit the business and deliver a higher ROI? This is difficult to put a number on, but could be the most significant benefit of Portfolio Intelligence. By selecting the right projects based on your business goals, the impact to your bottom line will increase. One way to calculate this is to assume a percentage increase to your operating income.
