Build an Applications Roadmap
Use a roadmap to manage your apps portfolio and help realize your core objectives.
- IT is not allocating scarce resources (people and dollars) on the most valuable activities.
- Application responsiveness suffers due to a constant need to remedy major issues.
- The IT department doesn’t have a full grasp on where it needs to improve.
- Reactive behavior rules, and as a result IT is often surprised by unforeseen events.
