Procesportfolio

Procesportfolio is a curated collection of an organization’s processes, including descriptions, owners, performance data, and improvement artifacts, maintained to support governance, risk management, and continuous performance enhancement. It provides a holistic view of how work is done, how processes interact, and where value is created or constrained.

A procesportfolio typically contains process maps or flowcharts, process descriptions or standard operating procedures, process owners and stewards, key performance indicators and baselines, risk assessments and controls, change logs and version histories, interdependencies and data requirements, compliance mappings, and an improvement backlog. The portfolio is designed to be accessible to stakeholders across functions, enabling tracking of both current performance and planned improvements.

Maintenance involves cataloging processes, assigning ownership, collecting and reviewing KPI data, updating documentation, and linking processes to systems, data sources, and related projects. Regular governance reviews help ensure consistency, accuracy, and alignment with strategic goals. The portfolio supports activities such as strategic planning, process optimization, training, audits, and regulatory compliance.

Benefits of a procesportfolio include improved governance and standardization, better visibility into process performance and risks, easier onboarding and training, and enhanced traceability for decisions and changes. Limitations may include the need for ongoing investment in data quality, governance, and change management. Implementation typically starts with critical processes, adopts a standard taxonomy, uses a centralized repository, and defines clear roles such as process owners and process stewards.
