PPM GOVERNANCE METHOD
The SMPP framework, a method for developing your project portfolio governance
SMPP structures your maturity progression around 3 levels and 23 best practices.
Each stage has a concrete objective: giving the IT department (CIO/DSI), the PMO, and business units the means to manage the project portfolio using the same benchmarks.
A PROVEN FRAMEWORK, NOT A THEORY
A method built on project management standards
SMPP draws on international project management standards, adapted and certified by Bureau Veritas for French-language portfolio governance.
The result: a method credible enough for executive committee meetings, yet applicable by your project teams starting Monday morning.
A PROGRESSION, NOT A BIG BANG
3 levels to advance your project portfolio governance
Each level of the SMPP framework addresses a specific need within your organization — you start where you actually are, not where the method would like you to be.
01
Laying the foundations
A shared language and clarified roles, so every project starts from common ground between the PMO and business units.
O2
Structuring portfolio management
Progress indicators and dashboards that make the alignment between strategy and execution visible.
03
Managing by value
A continuously optimized PPM governance, where every trade-off decision is made based on measured maturity data.
ONE METHOD, FIVE KEY DOMAINS
23 best practices spread across the levers that truly drive project portfolio progress
Strategic management
Aligning projects with the organization's priorities, not with the urgency of the moment.
Resource management
Aligning workload with the actual capacity of project teams.
Budget tracking
Securing profitability for high-value-added projects.
Risk management
Anticipating schedule and cost overruns rather than suffering their consequences.
Project culture
Embedding best practices sustainably, beyond individual efforts.
