IT Portfolio Management

How justifying and optimizing the management of your investments?

Resource allocation, budget revision, program development, investment choice…

These daily actions constitute the company’s strategy. 

These choices have to be argued, justified and divulged. Some projects, in particular those dealing with the company’s structure, are quite often badly understood. Evaluating the participation (even indirect) the company’s goals is a major criterion to help the decision makers in their choices.

Budgetary reduction, overload, merger, strategic adaptation, new management…

All of these elements create the need of a quick realignment. It is possible to quickly adapt the choices to the context, by keeping a clear vision of the ongoing or coming projects, as well as categorizing and evaluating

 Stakes :

• Does your budget enable you to meet all demands?

• How do you choose your projects?

• On which value do you compare them?

• How do you measure this value?

• Do you sometimes cancel ongoing programs?

• How do you optimize the planning of programs?

• How do you measure the risk to make less profit than predicted?

Portfolio management is the process which enables to develop and equip a concrete selection and a proactive management, which guarantee the strategic alignment of your projects in order to create value for your company.

Portfolio selection (ex: Creating a new sales office or making the computer network more secure?)

A portfolio, selected according to “value criteria”, has to be set against the operational constrains of the company: investment capacity, availability ok key resources, balance between the different entities, change management.

To be sure of this efficiency, the operational feasibility of the entire portfolio is analyzed according to criteria identified as being the most relevant in the company. A regular monitoring of the evolution of ongoing programs (risks, costs, health) and new opportunities or constraints enable to take the necessary decisions in time.
