Vendor Landscape: Enterprise Project Portfolio Management

PPM grows up to manage the processes around entire program lifecycles.

More Details

Your Challenge

  • Business simply doesn’t happen in a perfect, orderly, predictable way. People need the right tools to manage all the complexity.
  • IT is expected to keep tabs on hundreds, even thousands, of projects happening at any given instant – to provide snapshots both of where they are now and how they look over time.
  • What’s needed is a robust, accounting-like system to keep track of all the work that is (and isn’t) being done: an accounting system for hours instead of dollars.

Our Advice

Critical Insight
  • Enterprise PPM is evolving into a kind of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for project-driven organizations. PPM is growing to cover the entire lifecycle of projects, from strategy to implementation, across multiple departments.
  • Today’s PPM solutions are stretching their capabilities out beyond the rigid parameters and timelines that defined traditional project management.
  • Vendors are differentiating into fairly broad categories: dominant uses include new product development, professional services automation, application portfolio management, resource management, and performance improvement.
  • An Enterprise PPM solution will live or die on the fidelity of the information people put into it. It is absolutely critical to ensure the tool is aligned with the processes and goals of every stakeholder and user in the organization.
Impact and Result
  • Understand today’s Enterprise PPM market, where it’s going, and what its leading vendors are doing.
  • Evaluate the relative strengths and possible trade-offs of each solution.
  • Identify the solution best suited to your organization’s unique project portfolio management needs.
