Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is an issue that evolves over time. This activity links strategic activities with the project development routine. The goal of this work is to identify the current state of PPM in Brazilian companies and the relationship between this state and the issues and challenges found. This relationship was established by using the quantitative data of a survey applied to 45 companies, where we could find that most companies are actually using PPM tools. However, there is still some improvement to be made concerning resources allocation, power based project selection, and quality of information used. These challenges are statistically related to the categorization of projects and the selection tools used, to feedback from current projects for strategic planning and senior management participation in the process.
