This collection is known as a portfolio in project management. A portfolio encompasses projects, programs, and operations that are grouped together to facilitate effective governance and meet strategic business objectives. The key characteristic of a portfolio is that the projects and programs may not be directly related but contribute to the organization's strategy. A program consists of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually. A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. Operations are ongoing, repetitive activities that produce the same product or provide repetitive service.
