Programme and portfolio management

When several technology projects compete for the same budgets, the same teams and the attention of management, someone needs to hold it all together: clear priorities, owned trade-offs and deliveries that hit their dates.

When to call us

  • Too many projects in parallel, and nobody really knows which ones create value.
  • A major programme is slipping: timelines, budget or scope.
  • A tender or vendor selection to prepare, without in-house technical expertise.
  • A programme director or IT lead role to cover during a transition.

What you get

  • A prioritised roadmap, approved by management.
  • A portfolio dashboard you can read in five minutes.
  • Short, well-prepared steering committees with written decisions.
  • Vendors held to their commitments.

What we do

Scoping

Goals, scope, budget, risks and KPIs, written down before anything starts.

Portfolio governance

A single view of every project, shared prioritisation criteria and a steady decision rhythm.

Tenders and vendors

Specifications, scoring grid, bid analysis and negotiation, then follow-up of commitments.

Day-to-day steering

Planning, dependencies, risks and coordination of internal and external teams.

Change management

Communication, training and user support so that new tools are actually adopted.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take on interim management roles?

Yes. SameBox can temporarily act as programme director, portfolio manager or IT lead, while you recruit or get through a critical phase.

Do you require a specific method, agile or waterfall?

No. The method fits the project and your organisation: agile for products that change quickly, more sequential for projects with fixed deadlines.

How long does an engagement last?

From a few weeks for a scoping or portfolio review to several months to steer a programme all the way to production.
