Fundamental Implementation Rules 3. Develop a plan that will be implemented in phases and regularly communicate achievements to stakeholders It is wise to plan for “quick hit” successes within each chunk and to regularly publicize those successes. the analysis performed as part of project planning generally identifies many quick-hit improvements that can be made during the life of the project. Quick hits can be scheduled so they average, say, one a week or every two weeks.

Fundamental Implementation Rules 4. Get senior line managers involved at the outset and make them accountable for results the participation of senior line managers is especially important because they will be the key decision makers on the Investment Review Board, the proposal sponsors, the executive managers of organizational change, and the champions for the proposals and projects in their business areas.

Fundamental Implementation Rules 5. Appoint an executive manager of organizational change while the project is being planned this is an executive sponsor of this project who assumes the role of manager of organizational change for the project.

The benefits of ITPM Reduce costs, such as saving from avoiding duplications and overlaps of IT projects and systems and from identifying poor proposed investments and preventing them from being funded Improve competitive advantage. A good job of implementing ITPM will surpass about three-fourths of other organizations that claim to have adopted IT portfolio management but have weak implementation. Conversely, there is a competitive risk associated with delaying implementation. Maximize the return on IT investments by enabling only the most worthy IT proposals to be funded

The benefits of ITPM Reduce and control risk by using portfolio analysis techniques that improve risk identification, facilitate diversification and balancing, and enable risk to be monitored and managed Improve alignment by providing proposal teams with investment criteria that enable them to align their proposals with the strategic goals Create value. ITPM motivates and rewards performance improvements and innovation. Adopting successful management practices creates value, reduces cost and risk, and produces the types of internal controls called for by the Sarbanes – Oxley Act.

Future Expectations The substantial benefits of IT portfolio management will cause it to continue to grow and become a fundamental part of corporate management and especially enterprise performance management Software to support ITPM will improve significantly over the next few years as more organizations and vendors gain experience, insights, and knowledge of ITPM Adoptions of enterprise architecture plans and related application integration software will continue and leverage the power and potential of ITPM The increasing importance of an “enterprise viewpoint” will lead to greater standardization of performance measures, data collection, analyses, and reporting. This will result in more powerful ITPM systems

Future Expectations There will be ongoing growth in the development of guidelines and best practices for portfolio development. They will aid such tasks as defining content categories , determining, data structures and relationships, and establishing criteria for portfolio balance and resource allocations Automated approaches to capturing performance information will increase the quality and quantity of information provided to the IT portfolio. This in turn will increase the value of IT portfolio information provided to managers in support of their decision making Vendors will increasingly offer software packages that integrate It portfolio management with other software to facilitate enterprise performance management.

Future Expectations The sarbanes-oxley financial disclosure act and other legal and regulatory requirements will continue to provide an added stimulus for the adoption and expansion of ITPM, which has built-in tools and data to enable compliance IT portfolio management will become common in mid-size companies as software aimed at the mid-size company continues to evolve The increasing reliance on the Internet and the demands for information security and privacy will stimulate greater use of portfolio management as a tool for planning, monitoring and controlling information security and privacy
