2026 State of Strategic Portfolio Management report

Featuring data from hundreds of organizations across the globe, this original research from Tempo helps understand how Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) is actually working – not as a buzzword or a theory, but in practice. 

The findings are unambiguous: Organizations that combine integrated processes, frequent reviews, rapid resource reallocation, and scenario planning deliver markedly better outcomes. 

This guide breaks down what’s working, what’s wobbling, and what it all means for SPM in 2026. We’ll celebrate the slam dunks, call out the contradictions, and dig into the gaps between how teams think they’re doing and how they’re actually operating.
