What is the Eisenhower Matrix?

The Eisenhower Matrix, named after US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, was originally a method to prioritize tasks, projects, or portfolios and facilitate decision-making. In project management, the Matrix (Eisenhower Box) can be used to select important and unimportant, urgent and non-urgent tasks.

This way, tasks can be sorted by importance and urgency. It aims to increase effectiveness.

Relevant Project Management Terms

Portfolio

In project management, a portfolio is an amount of projects that are managed together. Projects are bundled in a portfolio if they are comparable, if they can be assigned to a certain unit (e.g. business unit), if they are interdependent, or if synergy effects result from the bundling.

Portfolio Analysis

In portfolio analysis, the projects in a portfolio are assessed, evaluated and compared with each other on the basis of certain criteria. A common method for portfolio analysis is, for example, the Eisenhower Matrix.
