Pill 035: Mastering the Art of Project Portfolio Prioritization

In a world where every project feels urgent but few deliver real value, the art of portfolio prioritization becomes a game-changer. What if you could cut through the noise and consistently deliver projects that align with your strategy anddrive measurable business impact?

Here’s the breakthrough: use the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize projects, but pair it with a cost-efficiency analysis to uncover hidden value. AHP minimizes bias by breaking decisions into smaller, manageable comparisons, while cost-efficiency analysis ensures you’re maximizing ROI. 

To apply this tactic:

1. Define your strategic goals and prioritize projects using AHP to reduce bias.

2. Overlay a cost-efficiency filter to identify projects that deliver the most value per dollar spent.

3. Rebalance your portfolio to focus on the efficient frontier—projects that offer the highest returns for the least cost.

What would happen if you stopped prioritizing projects based on intuition and started making decisions backed by data and rigor? The answer might just transform how your organization delivers value.
