Today, IT-organizations deliver complex services and projects. To be able to meet changing needs, it’s important to offer the “right” services to the “right” quality, and at the same time be able to implement changes effectively and with highest possible business benefits.
Hence, it’s essential to manage the investments – in projects and services. Acando believes that the following key components are needed to achieve excellence in Portfolio Management:
Organization – a central function that supports and/or manages the Project or Service Portfolio
Processes – operational and governance processes for the Project or Service Portfolio.
Framework – Models and guidelines for planning, prioritization, staffing, tracking and reporting
IT-Tool – a single source of information to support the organization, processes and framework.
The result of a Portfolio Management project is often significant improvements in portfolio-, project and/or service management.
