Comparatively, an overwhelming amount of attention is given to project management. It is by far the most popular, as demonstrated by having over 1,000,000 active PMPs in the world. But as organizations strive to attain additional competitive advantage, program and portfolio management are entering the forefront.  This video provides an introduction and comparison of program and portfolio.
