I'm looking to re-make my portfolio to reflect my professional experience (now going on 5 years), and I'm just not sure as to what makes for a strong professional portfolio at this point in my career. In the last few years, I've been working for a firm that does a lot of interiors work, and I've been able to manage many small projects because of this, but I can't say that I've had to develop some great details like in my first job. The main thing that I've been doing has more to do with organization and coordination, and I'm not sure on how to best transmit that in a portfolio that I might send to a firm. I have done A LOT of renderings also, but I have done a lot more project management, and I would like to show that. If anyone could point me to some good examples, it would be greatly appreciated!
What should be in a professional portfolio?

Rely on your resume to demonstrate how you helped the firm accomplish a set of goals and how you have surpassed expectations.
Quantify results. Example: you met deadline early and saved firm x amount of dollars
