For example, trying to develop a whole new software platform with the same process one uses to fix production bugs is a path to failure. Likewise, performance measures that are appropriate for staying on top of an input stream of production bugs differ greatly from those needed for the development of a brand new platform. Hence, to successfully manage your overall project portfolio you need to mix and match various practices and measures.
