Conceptual apparatus of management by projects and programs portfolio in 4p-environment

One of the problems of modern project management is that usually at enterprises for project management various software tools to solve various functional tasks: planning, control, economic and financial evaluation, etc. are used. Traditionally, the tasks of information integration in such systems are considered in the frames of methods of managing information communication in projects. But with the increase of informatization level of project-oriented enterprises, the use of various information systems for solving functional problems is not enough. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the functionality of modern information technologies for project management does not cover all the functions that are implemented in the process of managing projects, project portfolios and projectoriented sub-programs. Thus, it is necessary to create some technology for managing portfolios, programs, projects and programs that will include uncovered management functions. To implement such a technology, first of all, it is necessary to form a conceptual framework, the basis of which is the conceptual apparatus for managing portfolios of projects and programs in the 4P-environment. Therefore, in the article it is proposed to create a conceptual apparatus for portfolio management of projects and programs of project-oriented enterprises, which unites the areas of project and organization management into a single functional environment - 4P-environment. Scientific and methodological basis for the construction of 4P-environment is necessary to create structures, algorithms, tools and processes of functional add-ons over project management tools at project-oriented enterprises on the basis of developed models and methods. Per se, such basis will enable to create a set of functional operators which will satisfy the need of project management in modern information management technology
