PPM most commonly refers to "Project Portfolio Management"

Project portfolio management is a senior leadership discipline that drives strategic execution and maximizes business value delivery through the selection, optimization, and oversight of project investments which align to business goals and strategies.

People commonly ask what is the difference between projects, programs, and portfolios.

PORTFOLIO: a portfolio is a collection of projects and programs
PROGRAM: a program is a collection of related projects and other work that share common objectives and are better managed collectively
PROJECT: a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result with defined scope resources, and schedule.
