Input and output artefacts in portfolio practices from the OGC standard for Management of Portfolios

There is a new economic paradigm that establishes the need for continuous updating, concern with customer satisfaction and the generation of products and services with higher added value in the software development organizations. The organizations execute projects with the objective of support their operations, to respond the strategic objectives or a challenge/idea, to resolve a problem or investment opportunities. The projects represent the business of software development organizations, thus, the decision making of which projects to be developed is very important. Within the scope of management of project portfolios these concerns are included‥ The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) developed “Management of Portfolios” (MoP), whose objective is to propose a set of practices for management of project portfolios. This paper presents input and output artefacts in portfolio practices from the OGC Standard for Management of Portfolios and the graphic representations are supported by the Software Process Engineering Metamodel (SPEM).
