AMSTERDAM, NL / ACCESS Newswire / November 26, 2025 / Present-day organizations running project portfolios report similar challenges: underperforming initiatives, delivery delays, low business impact while facing the pressure to justify every investment. Despite this, many still assume that increasing portfolio budgets will lead to better outcomes. In practice, additional funding alone cannot solve performance challenges. What organizations really need to improve performance and achieve measurable returns is a shift toward value-oriented portfolio management.

Modern enterprises need portfolio management practices that connect strategy to real resource capacity and ensure that investments are directed to projects with the highest value potential. This will allow them to deliver value with existing resources. But it requires a shift from traditional deadline-driven management to a value-oriented approach based on strategic prioritization, capacity planning, and data-driven decision making.

Epicflow's AI Portfolio Optimizer (EPO) was developed to put these principles into practice. It helps identify high-value projects, increase efficiency of available resources, and evaluate scenarios before committing funds. Notable, the system can deliver measurable improvements even without detailed plan and unprepared data. According to Epicflow's co-founder, researcher, and portfolio expert Dr. Ir. Albert Ponsteen, first optimization results can be achieved within a few weeks, just after setting the right strategy. "The real challenge isn't a lack of budget, it's a lack of alignment. When strategy and capacity work together, performance improves immediately," Dr. Ponsteen said.

Industry experts emphasize that shift has become a strategic imperative. According to Ben Rawson, Epicflow's strategic partner and portfolio management consultant, "Companies don't need bigger teams and expanded budgets. The organizations that win are those that direct effort toward high-value opportunities instead of investing more money in underperforming projects." Treating resource capacity as a core strategic constraint allows organizations to unlock more throughput, reduce delays, and strengthen ROI.

Aligning strategic goals with actual capacity and focusing resources where they generate the greatest impact allows enterprises to enhance throughput, accelerate delivery, and improve financial outcomes without expanding teams or increasing investment.
