Track: High School STEM Competition

Abstract

Portfolio Management is a technique to manage several individual projects with similar goals at the same time. Social projects with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are very common, however NGOs do not normally possess the knowledge or the manpower to take in new projects. When social projects are undertaken, the management of scares resources and knowledge is fundamental to achieve each individual project goal. Through a literature review and a search for the best selection method to incorporate projects in the portfolio this work will demonstrate a case study performed by a scholarship student of IFSP in the selection, execution and control & monitor phases of a portfolio that was undertaken in the 2020 school year. The work was able to answer the research questions and improve overall project performance, increasing the institutions body of knowledge and lessons learned, even in a year with many uncertainties due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
