Project portfolio management (PPM), as an internationally recognised discipline with well-established standards and guidelines, faces emerging challenges, particularly in public sector organisations adopting digital technologies. This article presents PPM practices in the Kingdom of Bahrain as part of the government’s efforts to achieve its economic Vision 2030. It explores Bahrain’s Public Participation Portfolio (BPPP), which includes three successful initiatives: (1) the National Suggestions and Complaints System (Tawasul), (2) the Government Innovation Competition (Fikra), and (3) the National e-Participation Platform (Sharekna). These cases highlight the benefits of digital stakeholder management in PPM and the effectiveness of a centralised portfolio management office in managing complex interdependent programmes and projects.
