Solution Architecture And (Robotic) Process Automation SolutionsAlan McSweeney
This document discusses solution architecture and robotic process automation solutions. It provides an overview of many approaches to automating business activities and processes, including tactical applications directly layered over existing systems. The document emphasizes that automation solutions should be subject to an architecture and design process. It also notes that the objective of all IT solutions is to automate manual business processes and activities to a certain extent. Finally, it states that confirming any process automation initiative happens within a sustainable long-term approach that maximizes value delivered.
It is well known that an effective PMO is key to successful and efficient program and project execution. In other words, doing things “right”. Enterprise Architecture is the discipline that plans and monitors enterprise transformation and aligns the business strategy with information technology capabilities. In other words, doing the “right things” to support the business.
Why is it organizations despite having both of these disciplines still struggle with effective enterprise transformation? What can we done to use these disciplines more effectively to effect better business outcomes? What are the roles of each discipline and how do they work together to create business value?
In this presentation, Riaz will address these questions and will provide real life examples that can help build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture.
Learning Objectives:
• How to build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture (EA) to deliver positive outcomes for your organization
• Identify the different roles and functions of the PMO and EA as well as their similarities

The document discusses an enterprise architecture strategy with five key elements:
1. Customer relationship management and data integration
2. People, process, governance and a technical integration framework
3. Analytics, business intelligence, data quality, and master data management
4. Enterprise performance management with operational and analytical requirements
5. Integration across business processes, locations, applications, and data
This document provides an introduction to enterprise architecture (EA). It discusses enterprise challenges such as unaligned business processes, master data, applications, and technology. EA aims to help organizations understand how business strategies translate to operations. It sets out an organization's capability blueprint for developing and executing strategy. Implementing EA can provide benefits such as more efficient operations, improved return on investments, and faster procurement. An EA helps map the relationships between an organization's business, applications, data, and technology. It is important for organizations like PRASARANA to implement EA to reduce fragmentation, enhance information integration and technology planning, and achieve business-IT integration and enterprise agility. Developing a successful EA involves stakeholders from across the organization and having an
Enterprise Architecture is analogous to urban planning for an organization. It involves taking a holistic and future-looking approach to strategically plan and analyze an enterprise in order to efficiently govern projects, services, standards, and growth. Key activities of Enterprise Architecture include identifying interdependencies, innovating and showcasing new technologies, architecting enterprise-wide solutions, and establishing standards and governance processes. Governance is critical for a successful Enterprise Architecture, with governance frameworks and councils guiding strategic planning, architecture, and project development.
Cisco Systems Case Study: The Architecture Review Process Improving the IT P...Susan Bouchard
Cisco Systems uses an Architecture Review Process (ARP) to evaluate and improve IT investments. The goal is to reduce duplication, increase productivity and deliver value. Key aspects of the ARP include engaging the Partner Architecture Team early in projects to provide technical expertise throughout the lifecycle. Documentation of architecture decisions is improved by providing a common format. Metrics are used to measure impacts such as redundancy eliminated and standards leveraged. Challenges include resource commitment, documentation quality and technology evolution. The action plan focuses on engagement, documentation, metrics and adoption.
EA governance is the practice by which enterprise architectures are managed and controlled at an enterprise-wide level. Governance processes should be tailored to the particular environment of the organization, as well as the architectural goals and objectives of that organization, and should never hinder time to market. A centralized governance body can facilitate and drive key functional and architectural decisions across the primary internal stakeholders to ensure that the enterprise architecture addresses customers’ needs.
The presenter has implemented numerous EA governance organizations. As part of a major pharmaceutical distribution company’s corporate-wide SOA adoption program, he adapted the basic governance frameworks such as TOGAF to the organization and the objectives of the SOA adoption program. This session will examine the processes that were used to create an EA Governance organization at a major energy company and lessons learned at this company, as well as at other organizations.
The document proposes an enterprise architecture and IT engagement model for Ohio's infrastructure and environment agencies.

While generic in nature, there are some components of SharePoint (MOSS 2007) that require specific consideration, and are discussed and addressed by the interviewed subject matter experts and the included case studies.
In particular, the powerful Team Site features and easy deployment features (Site Collections) of SharePoint make it even more demanding of a rigorous plan and detailed governance model. While intranet governance provides clarity and rules: namely the titles, roles and responsibilities of its owners, managers, stakeholders and contributors.
Sadly, very few organizations actually have a well-defined governance model, and many of those have spent hundreds-of-thousands to millions of dollars on their website or intranet – amounting to extraordinary investments left to chance and execution on a whim.

Tricks of the Transformation Trade: Disruptive Disintermediation, Agility Age...UMT
A vast majority of U.S multinational firms – 93% in fact, according to a recent survey – are at some stage
of undergoing or preparing for business transformation initiatives. This is being driven by an unprecedented
confluence of changes in customer behavior, disruptive technology and domestic competition, among other
key triggers. It’s constantly “transform or wither” in today’s volatile global business, and
agility is the executive imperative of the day, albeit an elusive one. An organization’s long term success or failure
depends on its capacity to consistently identify opportunities and risks and renew itself faster than rivals do.
Business leaders need to be more efficient and effective at updating and implementing strategies than ever
before. If wielded correctly, an important weapon in their agility war chest is a new style of enterprise program
management office (PMO) that is more comprehensive than in the past.

The CIO was tasked with aligning IT to the new strategy, restructuring divisions, reducing spend by 15%, and instilling a culture of accountability. UMT Consulting designed and implemented an enterprise portfolio management framework using Microsoft Project Portfolio Server to provide visibility, governance, and budget planning across the divisions. This allowed projects to be tracked and budgets to be managed more dynamically, providing executives greater confidence in budget numbers and identifying risks.

IT Financial Management Series - Part 3: Drive Financial Transparency Across ...UMT
This document discusses improving financial transparency for IT infrastructure costs. It begins with an agenda and overview of key challenges. Infrastructure typically lacks transparency due to its shared service model. The document then discusses creating a service catalog, service costing models, and capacity planning challenges. It emphasizes the need for collaboration between IT and business units on capacity planning. Finally, it discusses optimizing costs, managing consumption, creating a "bill of IT", and running IT like a business to improve transparency and allow informed decision making.

IT Financial Management Series - Part 1: Defining a Model to Effectively Run ...UMT
"This is the first part of the IT financial management series. In this webinar, Charlie Curcio, IT CFO shares his experience in defining what it means to Run the Business of IT.
On average companies spend 5% of the total operating budget on IT, increasing pressure on executives to reduce costs, communicate value and align IT investments with business priorities to drive a competitive advantage.
Today, many high performing IT organizations are adopting Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis (IIPA) best practices to effectively Run the Business of IT. Developing a holistic data model and financial framework is key to driving transparency across disparate IT domains and providing accurate and reliable metrics to enhance decision making."
Microsoft recently announced the release of Microsoft Project 2013, the latest Project and Portfolio Management solution from Microsoft. This webinar covers the four stages of the UMT Project Portfolio Management Governance Lifecycle: Create, Select, Plan, and Manage.
The quest to define IT’s relationship with the business has gained new momentum over the last few years, primarily due to a more difficult economic climate driving the need for transparency in spending decisions. The momentum is manifested in a fundamental awareness, developed since the technology hype of the late 90’s, that IT organizations must be integrated more closely with the businesses they support. Management teams in many organizations are focused on defining a better Business-Technology partnership, which is shining the spotlight on a new discipline -- Project Portfolio Management (PPM).
Proven Paradigm for Creating Enterprise Project and Portfolio Management Adop...UMT
Capability Maturity Assessment is one of the tools consistently leveraged by Enterprise Project and Portfolio Manage-ment (EPM) practitioners in the creation of adoption roadmaps for organizations that are creating momentum for change with the objective of improving internal governance. Historically, the problem has been addressed in parallel at the Project, Program, or Portfolio levels, and in many cases the solutions devised have been independent of one anoth-er, potentially missing on integration aspects that could greatly improve overall results. In the past couple of years, new methodologies that attempt to encompass all three disciplines have been developed, including OPM3 from the PMI.
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Portfolio Management ImplementationsUMT
Originally published in 2003, this white paper on portfolio management has stood the test of time and is still relevant in all 7 best practice areas. Although the 7 best practices remain the same, the field of portfolio management has evolved substantially. To follow are some key questions that have been answered in the last few years:
Where should I start: Process or Tools?
For IT portfolios, what is more important: APM or PPM?
Which is the right level to start: Project or Portfolio?
Has portfolio management become more widely accepted as a practice in the last three years?
Are there financial benefits to implementing portfolio management?
Optimizing Organizational Performance by Managing Project BenefitsUMT
Too many organizations today still measure the success of a project based only on the traditional project management standards of delivering On Time, On Budget and On Scope. While these criteria are valid measures of successful project management, they are less suitable when assessing a project’s true success: its contribution to the overall organization's performance. Indeed, the ulti-mate success of a project – whether cost savings, revenue increases or customer satisfaction improvements – may not be known until years after it has been successfully delivered.
Enterprise Project and Portfolio Management: Managing the RevolutionUMT
This document discusses strategies for successfully implementing enterprise project and portfolio management (EPPM) frameworks in large, global organizations. It identifies common challenges such as scale, incomplete solutions, political governance issues, and lack of standardized metrics. The document recommends 12 principles for EPPM implementation, including securing senior management sponsorship, identifying clear objectives, employing a phased approach, leveraging pilots, implementing change management, including financial analysis, consolidating systems, and conducting ongoing analysis. Case studies and examples are provided for each principle to illustrate proven strategies. The overall goal is to provide guidance for organizations navigating the complexities of implementing comprehensive EPPM on an enterprise-wide scale.
Measure What Matters - New Perspectives on Portfolio SelectionUMT
The document discusses new frameworks for IT portfolio selection that consider both financial and strategic metrics. It summarizes that traditional portfolio selection focused solely on financial metrics, but recent research shows this led to underinvestment in strategic areas. The new framework evaluates investments from four perspectives: demand, supply, governance, and alternatives. This allows executives to consider financial returns, strategic alignment, risk exposure, architectural fit, options, costs, deadlines, and skills. Successful companies now use multiple financial and strategic metrics to optimize resource allocation and maximize investment value and benefits.
Project and Portfolio Management in a Federated Governance ModelUMT
This document describes an approach for managing project portfolios across multiple business units using proportional and binary optimization. It discusses how corporate and business unit CIOs can use these techniques to prioritize projects, optimize spending, and align investments with corporate strategies. Binary optimization allows business units to select optimal project portfolios, while proportional optimization gives corporate CIOs a way to adjust program funding levels without eliminating them entirely. The methodology provides a framework for effective portfolio management in complex, federated organizations.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
