Product & Portfolio Planning
Define clear objectives and prioritize actions to ensure sustainable growth and competitive advantage
What is Product & Portfolio Planning?
Product & Portfolio Planning is essential for companies looking to make informed decisions about their product roadmaps, strategic objectives and investments. It involves defining, managing and optimizing product offerings to align with business goals and market trends. Organizations can execute a structured approach to evaluate opportunities, consolidate market intelligence and ensure their innovations deliver maximum value.
This process leverages advanced analytical tools to assess market demands, competitive positioning and resource allocation, establishing a comprehensive framework for decision-making. By integrating cross-functional collaboration and real-time data, companies prioritize projects based on strategic importance, financial impact and feasibility. Product & Portfolio Planning also facilitates scenario modeling, enabling organizations to evaluate potential risks and rewards before committing to a specific course of action. Such a systematic approach ensures alignment between product development initiatives and overarching business strategies, driving long-term success in dynamic market environments.
ENOVIA, powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, provides an integrated solution for managing product portfolios. Whether your business requires advanced project automation, real-time collaboration or data-driven insights, ENOVIA offers the tools to plan, execute and refine your product strategy.

Product & Portfolio Planning in Sustainability
Advance Sustainability Goals
Sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a necessity. With ENOVIA, businesses can integrate eco-friendly objectives directly into their product development processes. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, organizations can measure environmental impact, reduce waste and adopt greener materials.
By predicting outcomes with advanced analytics and incorporating renewable energy metrics, ENOVIA ensures your portfolio delivers business success while responsibly meeting sustainability targets.
When you look at sustainability, 80% of the decisions affecting the environmental impact of new products and services are taken during the design phases, usually with traditional methods of measurement. We are getting this information too late in the product development process to actually be able to address the impact unless we do very expensive changes.

Product & Portfolio Planning FAQs
Product portfolio management (PPM) is the strategic process of analyzing, managing and optimizing a company’s portfolio of products to ensure sustained growth and profitability. This involves the identification of market trends, resource allocation, lifecycle planning and risk assessment to achieve a comprehensive, data-driven approach to decision-making. By continuously evaluating performance metrics, PPM enables organizations to invest in the right initiatives, retire underperforming products and align their offerings with overall corporate objectives.
Product portfolio analysis is a strategic process used to evaluate and categorize a company’s range of products based on factors such as market performance, growth potential, profitability and competitive positioning. It provides organizations with a structured framework to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each product within their portfolio, identify opportunities for investment and recognize areas that may require divestment or restructuring. Effective product portfolio analysis ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and that the product mix aligns with the organization’s overall strategic objectives.
A good product portfolio combines innovation with collaborative solutions that enable seamless product lifecycle management. It should encompass robust tools for managing complex business processes while aligning with industry-specific requirements. The portfolio must address diverse customer needs, deliver scalability for growing enterprises and integrate advanced technologies to remain competitive. Furthermore, it should support the strategic objectives of harnessing digital transformation and fostering sustainable innovation across industries.
