Understanding Customer Voice of Project Portfolio Management SoftwarePeachy Essay
Abstract—Project Portfolio Management (PPM) has gained
success in many projects due to its large number of features that covers effective scheduling, risk management, collaboration, and third-party software integrations to mention a few. A broad range of PPM software is available; however, it is essential to select the PPM with minimum usage issues over time. While many companies use surveys and market research to get users feedback, the PPM product software reviews carry the voice of users; the positive and negative sentiments of the PPM software reviews. This paper collected 4,775 reviews of ten PPM software from Capttera.com. Our approach has these phases- text preprocessing, sentiment analysis, summarization, and categorizations. The software reviews are filtered and cleaned, then negative sentiments of user reviews are summarized into a set of factors that identify issues of adopted PPM software. We report the most important issues of PPM software which were related to missing technological features and lack of training.
Results using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model showed
that the top ten common issues are related to software complexity and lack of required features.
By the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to describe the analysis phase, define requirements like purpose, scope and boundaries, and detail functional requirements and data flow. During analysis, the client's needs are extracted through interviews, questionnaires and observations to create a software specification. This specification outlines the scope, boundaries and functional requirements and is verified by the client. It forms the basis for development but may require revisions if limitations are identified. Analysis establishes the purpose, scope, boundaries and functional requirements to guide development.
The document discusses the importance of continuous improvement for business applications to maintain responsiveness to changing business needs and technologies. It identifies four key categories of continuous improvement: 1) business empowerment through tools that allow business users to directly change applications, 2) application enhancements and integration projects, 3) planned and unplanned maintenance, and 4) version upgrades for off-the-shelf applications. The document emphasizes that a continuous improvement strategy can both reduce maintenance costs and open new opportunities for business responsiveness compared to solely focusing on maintenance. It provides recommendations for balancing business empowerment with controls and avoiding building up technical debt through enhancement projects.

Why IT Struggles With Digital Transformation and What to Do About Itrun_frictionless
To win the digital transformation race, successful CIOs need to overcome three immense challenges: Massive backlogs, legacy debt and scarce resources. And, at the same time they need to embrace new methods, better suited to fast-paced innovation.
www.runfrictionless.com
Nowadays the technological progress allows us to have highly flexible solutions, easily accessible with
lower levels of investment, which leads to many companies adopting SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) to
support their business processes. Associated with this movement and considering the advantages of SaaS, it
is important to understand whether work is being developed that is underutilized because companies are
not taking advantage of it, and in this case it is necessary to understand the reasons thereof. This
knowledge is important even for people who do not use or do not develop/provide SaaS, since sooner or
later it will be unavoidable due to current trends. In the near future, nearly all decision-makers of IT
strategies will be forced to consider adopting SaaS as an IT solution for the convenience benefits
associated with technology or market competition. At that time they will have to know how to evaluate
impacts and decide. What are the real needs in the Portuguese market? What fears and what is being done
to mitigate them? What are the implications of the adoption of SaaS? Where should we focus attention on
SaaS offerings in order to create greater value? These are questions we must answer to actually be able to
assess and decide. Often, decision-makers of business strategies consider only the attractive incentives of
using SaaS ignoring the impacts associated with new technologies. The need for tools and processes to
assess these impacts before adopting a SaaS solution is crucial to ensure the sustainability of the
information system, reduce uncertainty and facilitate decision making. This article presents a framework
for evaluating impacts of SaaS called SIE (SaaS Impact Evaluation) which in addition to guidance for the
present research, aims to provide guidelines for the collection, data analysis, impact assessment and
decision making about including SaaS on the organizations strategic plans.
Early adopters of cognitive technologies are already gaining major competitive advantages through initiatives that improve customer engagement, productivity and efficiency, and business growth.

The transformative global economy posed challenges to businesses in service management. In this computing age, the perceptual and operational edge of a certain business or organization manifested on the kind of technology it offers in the Service Management. Organizations have long recognized the
importance of managing key resources such as people and information. Information has now moved to its rightful place as a key resource in the organization and therefore management of the same can be instituted by employing methodology. To keep their brand promise, technology has been used;The number of new entrants to every sectors of economy has grown significantly in recent years, and each firm strives to make their daily operation efficient in which demand for business software or application software getting higher and businesses or organizations opted to build or buy this software. Because of
new entrants, it had offered opportunity to software developers to translate business processes into systems. This study investigates waste in the software development by application of Lean principles. Like any conventional projects, software becomes buggy and oftentimes it fails. Software failure is always attributed to the software engineering, not the incompetence of project managers, inadequacy of the
people on the project, or lack of clear goal. The researchers’ contentions are there wastes in the software development and serve as mechanism and evidence to why software fails. Software failure is not attributed to the software itself, it includes however the acceptance of the clients and end-users. Descriptive secondary data analysis, participant observation and Fishbone Analysis were the methodology used in the study. Wastes include unfinished or partially done work, extra features,
relearning, handoffs, delays, task switching, and defects.

Forrester Report: Master DevOps For Faster Delivery Of Software InnovationSEBASTIEN DENES
Modern applications and loosely coupled architectures allow organizations to deliver software faster. Loose coupling means applications can be developed and delivered in smaller increments with fewer dependencies. This reduces risk and allows teams to work independently and at their own pace. Automating processes like continuous integration, testing, deployment and monitoring further speeds up delivery while improving quality. Organizations must adopt DevOps practices and break down silos to fully realize the benefits of faster and more flexible application delivery.

Governance of Power Platform – As enabler, not as gatekeeperSwatantra Kumar
In today’s digital age, organizations are under immense pressure to define, ideate, build and deliver services at consistently shortening time to market. With a demanding market, an unpredictable and slowing economy, and a global shortage of skilled labor, low-code platforms are increasingly seen as a boon for enterprises aiming to fuel digital transformation by building new apps, modernizing application landscapes, or automating processes quicker and more efficiently. Low-code/no-code (LCNC) tools have seen steady growth due to their effectiveness in addressing some of the challenges in technology – primarily for digitizing workflows, enhancing user experiences, promoting internal efficiency, and their ability to quickly fill the workforce gap. Low-code application platforms are emerging as a key accelerator for app development and delivery. However, there are still challenges ahead due to a vacuum of battle-tested IT governance for low-code platforms. This article covers our view on the governance of one of the leading LCNC tools, Power Platform, and why it is important while planning, securing, deploying, and supporting applications built on the platform.

2. 1
Introduction
Developers are at the epicenter of a massive shift in the
business technology landscape. New disruptive business
requirements are coming from all directions and requiring
a level of application sophistication not seen before by
development teams. In the face of this shift, development
teams struggle to continue hand-coding custom
applications, while also allocating sufficient time to embed
sophisticated application logic and contextual awareness
for applications that must function across different web
and mobile platforms.
This Red Hat commissioned profile of software
developers explores the challenges faced by application
development teams today, based on Forrester’s own
market data and a custom study of the same audience.
Disruptive Drivers Force Teams To
Shift Development Strategies
› Competitive drivers make custom development an
attractive option over packaged solutions. Firms
turning to custom development over packaged
applications listed “competitive advantage” and “unique
customer experiences” as two of the top three drivers.
These firms indicated that they increasingly need
flexibility in their business applications to stay ahead of
competitors and move into new markets (see Figure 1).
› Increasing complexity for developing multi-device
apps. Developers reported that designing and
developing applications to work across multiple devices
to be their most complex tasks; 60% reported that these
tasks to be very complex to moderately complex.
Analytics and data modeling came in second, with 54%
of developers reporting these tasks to be very complex
to moderately complex (see Figure 2).
› Data integration continues to drive maintenance
complexity. Developers reported that implementing
updates and changes to application logic and business
rules were the most difficult tasks for maintaining
existing business applications; 56% indicated that
maintaining and updating integration with back-end
legacy systems was complex to very complex. And 38%
indicated that maintaining up-to-date data models and
analytics information was very complex to moderately
complex (see Figure 3).

Accelerated Pace Of Change
Demands Configurable Processes,
Rules, And Analytics
With a dramatically increasing volume of business
requirements and decreasing number of direct resources,
development leaders are looking for new methods that
emphasize more modern approaches to application
development (see Figure 4). These new approaches help
boost developer productivity, while also allowing the
business to play a broader role in the application
development process. But development leaders walk a
tightrope trying to balance modern development
approaches — such as configurable development and
model-driven development — against the need for
maximum flexibility and control available through hand-
coding solutions.
› Analytics, collaboration, and automation drive
future demand for custom development. Business
intelligence, collaboration, and business process
management applications were in the top four types of
applications that developers expect to see an increase
in custom development.
› Configurable development can replace the bulk of
hand-coding. Most developers still hand-code
workflow, analytics, and business rules — 42%
indicated they primarily hand-code workflow, 40%
indicated they hand-code analytics, and 40% indicated
they hand-code business rules (see Figure 5).
› Developers have a blind spot for third-party
platforms. Only 10% of respondents have used BPM
software, only 16% have used business rules software,
and 30% used BI software. This highlights a missed
opportunity for developers to minimize development
and maintenance for standard functionality.

“BPM and business rules allow us to

business stakeholders and quickly
validate new requirements and
system changes.”
— Development team lead, major healthcare provider
Developers Consider Open Source
BPM a Compelling Alternative To
Hand-Coding
Taking on any new technology or platform can introduce
new risks and costs, in terms of building new skills and
competencies, vendor lock-in, and fit with internal
technology architecture and ecosystems. However,
development team leads will need to look beyond
common misconceptions about BPM and open source
when evaluating different options for accelerating
development and delivering more sophisticated
applications.
› BPM learning curve shorter than expected. Only
22% of respondents indicated they perceive BPM as
requiring a very high to high level of effort for building
competent skills. Compared to business rules at 33%,
business intelligence at 30%, and collaboration at 24%.
› Lower cost of ownership helps minimize risk.
Developers associate open source with overall lower
cost of ownership throughout the development cycle;
54% associated open source in terms of lower cost of
ownership. Additionally, developers associate open
source with ability to easily customize core product
functionality, 44% associated open source in this
category (see Figure 6).

Conclusion
Today, development teams face demands to deliver
increasingly complex applications. In the past, developers
could negotiate tradeoffs between speed and flexibility
based on business stakeholder priorities. However,
business leaders now demand speed and flexibility, without
any tradeoffs. Leading development teams turn to BPM to
help solve the speed side of the equation, but often feel
locked in when it comes to flexibility and openness of the
underlying architecture. Additionally, proprietary BPM
solutions tend to require significant training and unique
hard-to-find skills. Open source BPM platforms provide the
right balance between speed and flexibility. Developers
benefit most from open source BPM solutions that provide
full-featured process modeling, analytics, and business
rules capabilities.

associate with open source solutions versus proprietary software platforms?”
