Strategic Portfolio Management
Most organisations have a strategy. Few can tell you whether the work underway this quarter actually reflects it. Altus connects strategy to delivery, so you can see what to adjust, what to protect, and what to stop.
From strategy on a slide, to work in motion.
Strategy usually lives in a deck while delivery happens somewhere else. Altus closes that gap, connecting the initiatives you prioritise to the projects, budgets, and outcomes that deliver them.
Stop funding the wrong projects
Without a structured way to evaluate initiatives, portfolio decisions go to whoever argues hardest. Altus gives PMOs and leadership a shared scoring model so the conversation shifts from "which project do you prefer?" to "which project scores highest against the criteria we agreed on?"
When strategy changes, know what changes with it
Most organisations spend weeks rebuilding plans in spreadsheets when priorities shift. Altus lets you model multiple portfolio scenarios before committing to any of them. When the CFO asks what happens if the budget drops 20%, the answer is ready in minutes.
Deliver the value you promised, not just the project
Projects get approved because they promise business outcomes. Most organisations have no way to track whether those outcomes actually arrive. Altus connects benefits to the initiatives meant to deliver them, so leadership can see whether the portfolio is creating value, not just completing work.

Strategic Themes
Define what the organisation is trying to achieve, break it into measurable goals, and connect every initiative back to them. When the link between work and strategy is explicit, nothing gets funded by accident.
Prioritisation
Score and rank initiatives against agreed criteria rather than seniority or momentum. The portfolio reflects what the organisation decided, not what got argued hardest in the last steering committee.
Weighted Models
Build scoring models that reflect your organisation's strategic context. Different business units can apply models that match their priorities, within the same governance framework.
Evaluation
Assess each initiative against transparent criteria before it enters the portfolio. Approval conversations become about evidence rather than politics.
Optimisation
Given your constraints on budget and resources, which combination of initiatives delivers the most strategic value? Altus works through the options without you rebuilding the analysis from scratch each time.
Scenario Planning
Model the impact of a budget change, a priority shift, or a resource constraint before committing to anything. Build multiple scenarios, compare them side by side, and present leadership with options.
Resource Optimisation
Allocate people and budget to the highest-priority initiatives and see whether the distribution matches your stated strategy. High-scoring projects shouldn't be starved by lower-priority ones.
Visual Portfolio Views
See the full portfolio in one view. Compare initiatives by score, status, resource demand, and strategic alignment without exporting anything to Excel first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Altus support benefits realisation?
Yes — the Strategy tier includes strategy and benefit realisation, including managing strategic themes, goals and benefits across the portfolio, with benefit-related reporting available (for example benefits breakdown and benefits overview).
How does Prioritisation work?
Altus supports prioritisation frameworks ranging from simple matrices to weighted scoring models, helping teams rank initiatives and make informed trade-offs. Visual rankings and dashboards help teams see where investment should go.
How does Altus align delivery with strategy?
Altus’ suite of strategic portfolio management features are designed for organisations that lack a unified, objective way to evaluate and prioritise initiatives, leaving teams “guessing rather than deciding”. It provides a best-practice, structured, data-driven approach to align work to strategy and optimise portfolios based on real-world constraints.
