The Method RAB2/E Matrix

Abstract

This chapter presents a method, applicable to the program and project portfolio prioritization procedures, named RAB2/E matrix (rapidity, autonomy and benefit / extended), where the letter “E” means “extended,” since this new approach is derived from another original matrix (RADAR DE PROJETOS 2015) with new features. After performing these procedures related to portfolio prioritization, any project management methodology—such as PMBoK©, PRINCE2®, and ZOPP—can be applied to control the tasks which have to be done. The already mentioned new features were implemented in the prior matrix according to the aspects of internal and external influences perceived. In order to get better comprehension of how this new method was planned, and which were its foundations, this chapter also describes some techniques that can be used as tools for program and project portfolio prioritization. A statistic sample about the implementation of this method RAB2/E matrix are in its conclusions.
