I have found a set of articles dealing with portal projects from the ground up. Beginning with an introduction to portals and information infrastructure, over the first kick-off at the customers site, ending with a comprehensive description of important things concercing portal project management. Have a look at the overview page here.

Learn about the types of portals and how the type of portal you choose can influence your planning. You are also introduced to several tools, including a Portlet Matrix and Content Map, which you can use to plan and set up your own portal.
Part 2: Conducting a portal workshop
Find out about the benefits of a portal workshop, where all stakeholders come together to plan the portal’s requirements, features, and high-level architecture.
Part 3: Estimating and tracking
See how to estimate project tasks and keep your portal project on track.
Part 4: Portal and component design
