Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM)
Gartner defines the Strategic Portfolio Management market
as a set of business capabilities, processes and supporting
portfolio management technology.
• Business leaders, Enterprise Portfolio Management office (EPMO)
leaders, and IT leaders require SPM to support enterprise-wide
strategy-to-execution alignment and adaptation.
• SPM technology supports clear definition of key business strategies
and desired business outcomes, and formulation and mapping of
these with key portfolio elements, such as business capabilities,
investments, programs, digital and physical products,
applications, and projects.
• A complete SPM solution must capture, define and prioritize
business strategies; manage the execution of initiatives and
projects that drive the achievement of these strategies; and provide
full visibility and management of core IT assets.
• The solution supports three key stakeholders from Leadership who
sets direction, IT/Functional management who owns the critical
assets in infrastructure and Execution teams that plan and deliver
projects and products in the pursuit of reaching the business goals.
