The owner of the project is not the project manager, the PMO, or a committee. It is the individual accountable for ensuring the project delivers its intended business value. In large organizations, clear project ownership is foundational to governance, delivery discipline, and strategic alignment.

A strong Project Manager portfolio is a strategic asset that demonstrates capability, leadership, structure, and delivery strength in complex organisations. It provides tangible evidence of project success, governance excellence, risk management, financial control, and stakeholder influence.
