Editor's Notes
- In today’s application economy, your company’s competitive advantage is contingent on speed to market. But, how do you know if your investments are the right for your business? How do you know if your project or program investments align with your strategic vision? What is the potential return on investment and over what period? What resources—human and financial—are required to deliver on these investments? What risks do these investments introduce and how can these be managed? And what is the relative priority on investment over another that is active in the pipeline? While these are basic questions that should be asked and answered before undertaking any new initiative, few organizations have the project and portfolio management maturity and capability to do so with any level of confidence.
- That’s because, for many companies: Insights are often hidden in various work teams and data silos. [CLICK] In fact, 72 percent of business leaders aren’t satisfied with the time it takes to derive actionable insights from fragmented data. And nine out of every 10 of those dissatisfied blame the inability to efficiently combine data from multiple sources. Initiatives are selected based on subjective data or the loudest executive, not real metrics, available funding or resource constraints. [CLICK] 63 percent of companies defer to executives to decide when to eliminate or put off a project. But, without the right information, it’s nearly impossible to establish priorities or make product roadmap and investment tradeoffs. Aspirational plans of the business, such as application rationalization, new capital investments, and digital transformations, aren’t converted to realistic delivery scenarios. Subsequently, work teams aren’t allocated and aligned to these priorities or desired outcomes so they are never brought to fruition. [CLICK] For example, an astounding 60 to 80 percent of software features built by teams are never used.

- This lack of integration, alignment and visibility affects organizations at every level: [CLICK] PMO Directors can’t provide stakeholders with the project, resource and financial status they require. [CLICK] Financial Directors can’t connect financial models to modern software delivery practices. [CLICK] Line of Business Owners can’t prioritize their product roadmaps and features. [CLICK] Project Managers can’t identify and mitigate unnecessary dependencies. [CLICK] And Executives never fully realize the cost savings of organizational transformation initiatives.
