It requires different strategies, models and practices. Many organizations across the country have projects in their sector in different places. However they abandoned temporarily suspended or closed within a decade which is troublesome. Proper PPM helps to execute the construction project effectively. As such, the aim of this research paper is to identify PPM practices in different construction organizations with a view to examine the effects of such practices on the project portfolio.
