- A selection process to limit projects to available resources, and a weeding out of inappropriate projects (no overload)
- A prioritization process to get the projects done in the right order (smooth sailing)
- A people resource planning process, to ensure the availability of the right skills (competence)
- A product creation process (project management)
- A feedback mechanism for "continuous improvement" (proof of value)
