Project and Portfolio Management

One of the biggest issues being faced by the organizations is the lack of visibility into projects being conducted across the enterprise e.g.

It is unclear if Business Strategy and IT Strategy are aligned
  Senior management senses low value from IT investments
  Projects & resources are not consistently aligned with business      strategies
  There is a need to reduce costs and get more done with fewer          resources
  Projects run late or over budget or are cancelled

The concerns of the executives typically involve poor health of projects, high failure rate, barely any control over the budget, delayed deliveries, low resource utilization and lack of alignment of projects with the business strategy. What today’s CEOs, CFOs and CIOs require is a mechanism that provides a detailed view of the projects against a set of Key Performance Indicators.

A strong portfolio and project management system is required that tracks down where the budget is being expended, ranks projects across multiple dimensions and provides a clear picture to achieve maximum benefits from capital investments. What they need is a strong Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) system in place.
