About R&D Portfolio Management

Many research and development leaders are concerned about the balance of resources in their R&D portfolios. R&D leaders responsible for R&D portfolio management commonly find themselves “trading off” longer-term, transformational innovation opportunities in favor of shorter-term, incremental projects. This takes a heavy toll on R&D portfolio health. Gartner helps R&D leaders improve R&D portfolio health and avoid making poor R&D portfolio management decisions.
