Whilst a broad range of project portfolio management (PPM) tools is developed to enable and automate the PPM processes, there is a limited understanding of the factors affecting their adoption and deployment in organizations. This research presents a systematic approach that integrates the topic modeling with technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework to identify the salient factors affecting the adoption of PPM software from online software reviews. The proposed approach consists of four main steps: reviews collection and preprocessing, factors prediction, factors ranking, and factors integration into TOE framework. The online software reviews used in this study were gathered from Gartner and included 877 reviews for 13 widely used PPM software tools. The results of this research revealed that several factors could affect the adoption decision of PPM software in organizations. These results provide several theoretical and practical implications, and thus should help both researchers and practitioners in the deployment of more user-accepted PPM software and practices.

Practical Implications

Goal: to propose a hybrid method, combining AHP and Fuzzy, for project portfolio management. Originality/value: this paper meets the positive characteristics of both methods, adequately weighing the criteria and contemplating process subjectivity. Limitations that exist in both methods, such as the maximum number of alternatives and the difficulty of inserting new alternatives at the end of the process, are overcome. Design/methodology/approach: the AHP is applied for determining the criteria weights and fuzzy is used to compare the alternatives for each criterion. Results: the results show that the proposed hybrid method allows the ranking of many alternatives and provides higher reliability for decision makers. It must be noted that the system is fed by performance indicators, which minimize the subjectivity in decision-making—an important characteristic in the technology management. Moreover, the results provide the possibility of changing the number of projects at any time without influencing the outcome. Practical implications: the proposed hybrid method can be used in different problems that have many alternatives or subjectivity.

Constant Returns To Scale

The purpose of this research is to analyze efficiencies of project management offices (PMOs) using the data envelopment analysis (DEA). As the post-analysis of the efficiency analysis, the causal factors affecting the efficiencies of PMOs were tested. 87 PMOs were used to analyze their efficiencies. In the constant returns-to-scale model, 11 PMOs were completely efficient and 76 PMOs were inefficient. In the variable returns-to-scale (VRS) model, 26 PMOs were efficient and 61 PMOs were inefficient. The efficiency analysis by the DEA has the advantage of deriving the scale efficiency for each DMU. From the result of the post-analysis, it was found that the PMO efficiency was positively influenced by the project portfolio management maturity (PPMM) and the degree of strategic alignments with the business goals. In conclusion, by improving PPMM and strengthening the strategic alignments with business goals, higher efficiency and performance of the PMO can be expected.

Non Profit Organizations

As they strive towards greater professionalism in carrying out their activities, non-profit organizations (NPOs) have begun paying attention to project management. The non-profit sector (NPS) has also begun to adopt strategic planning techniques, thus making the acceptance of project portfolio management (PPM) methodology a natural consequence. This article aims to propose a project portfolio management model adapted to the context of NPOs.
