Through recent literature and several indicators, it was concluded that more than two-thirds of the companies perform their strategic plan based on random or ad-hoc scenarios. Hence, there is no concrete correlation between the strategy and projects' portfolio. The objective of this study is to propose a connection between the companies' strategy and its project portfolio with an assessment of benefits through the Pereira Diamond framework. This allows a great rationalization of the investment so that this could be channeled for other projects with an increased impact. This study aims to guide the companies and give a contribution to the academic knowledge demonstrating how does the selection of the right projects assists the execution of the planned strategy. To achieve the objectives, it was collected data through in-depth interviews with companies in Portugal. The collected data was transcribed, analyzed and interpreted. Through a descriptive analysis, it was possible to underline three main topics to evolve, namely, assessment, methodology, and measurement. Those clusters were the starting point for the discussion. Also, it is presented a conceptual model based on the literature's good practices and difficulties companies demonstrated since the strategy definition until its measurement.
