Organizational Strategy, Project Risk, And Project Management Maturity

Businesses often face significant challenges when it comes to ensuring that projects align with organizational strategy. In order to overcome this challenge, a certain level of project management maturity is needed.

Then, write a paper discussing the following:

• Explain how project and portfolio management relate to organizational strategy and risk management.
• Explain the rationale behind an organization keeping a diverse project portfolio.
• Discuss the project management maturity level an organization would likely have to achieve in order to successfully build a project portfolio that would align with organizational strategy, while managing risk.
