Examples: A company's product development program. Tip: Imagine a program as multiple related projects working towards a bigger goal. 📊 Portfolio Definition: A collection of projects and programs to achieve strategic objectives. Tip: Think of a portfolio as a collection of all projects and programs that align with company goals. 🔄 Operations Definition: Ongoing activities that produce goods or services. Examples: IT support, sales operations.
