The New Normal Expectations are Higher, Budget is Not Then: Early 2000s Now For all the increased technology expectations, IT budget is not increasing. IT has always struggled to keep up with business demand, but for many CIOs the problem is getting significantly worse. A bad economy has limited IT spending, but it doesn’t stop the business from demanding more from IT. The ‘agility imperative’ has emerged in enterprises to close this gap. Leading companies understand that the people making decisions on business and technology for the organization are the same people. They speak both languages, which means that they have an understanding of the business mission and a grasp of the technologies that enable it. Part of this requires Business & IT speak the same language … And this is a big idea—with profound implications for the CIO. In a company where business and technology have converged, the CIO is no mere “manager of the data center.” He or she is a strategic leader, focused on bringing IT capabilities to bear on critical business challenges. What does it take to transform IT to this new world? What will separate the winners from the losers? Yes, it’s about leveraging cloud services and building clouds (industrializing data centers for agility and efficiency) and that requires that we invest in performance, automation/ virtualization, and also about security … But it’s more than that: A real business transformation is afoot: There is a fundamental change needed in how IT collaborates with business owners on technology investment planning, with many IT organizations adopting shared services models and, in essence becoming internal services providers. Successful transformation strategies will require a strong governance framework and a CIO capable of informing the decision-making in the role of portfolio strategist. This requires them to communicate IT services, costs and value in a way that helps stakeholders make informed decisions about the use of IT across multiple technology portfolios including the service, applications, project and asset portfolios. CIOs risks becoming irrelevant if they can’t manage this service supply chain and advise the business on the optimal way to plan, design and deliver services. CIOs must be able to respond to questions being asked by the business owners: What value am I getting from this service? Are you meeting the service levels I need to run my business successfully? How much does that service cost me? Can you deliver this project on time and in budget? What should I move to the cloud? How are you accelerating the cycle time from idea to delivery This is about managing innovation effectively—from idea to transformation.

What is Portfolio Management? A collection of Projects and/or Programs and other work grouped together to facilitate effective management of that work to meet strategic business objectives (PMBOK). Process focused on doing the right work, increasing transparency, and delivering the highest business value (EPM).

What is Portfolio Management? More than grouping projects and potential projects for viewing status. It is… Making tradeoffs and decisions about how to best utilize your resources. Deciding which projects to start, continue, discontinue, or postpone Continuous planning, not annual planning – always re-evaluating

What Functions Does Portfolio Serve ? There are 4 basic functions that portfolio provides Monitoring Decision Analysis Constraint Analysis “What – IF” Scenarios

Monitoring Monitoring Decision Analysis Constraint Analysis “What – IF” Scenarios Portfolio’s can be used to monitor how projects are progressing List all projects in a consolidated view within the portfolio and see information such as: Total spend and actuals Health Project manager and basic project information Variance and Effort against baselines

Decision Analysis Monitoring Decision Analysis Constraint Analysis “What – IF” Scenarios Decision analysis is based on the same information that you would use for monitoring The views within portfolio can help decision making on what projects should be included in the portfolio based on the high level parameters Charts within portfolio can show total cost and benefit or benefits by year

Constraint Analysis Monitoring Decision Analysis Constraint Analysis “What – IF” Scenarios Constraint Analysis takes the same investments and allows you to lay a set of criteria boundaries on top Some constraints that can be applied include: Financial constraints Effort constraints at the role level Constraint analysis can show that too many projects are approved and if they are exceeding budget or resource availability at the role level

What If Scenarios Monitoring Decision Analysis Constraint Analysis “What – IF” Scenarios What If Scenarios allows you to create a scenario that can have varying constraints. An example might include budget based scenarios where you can create two different views of the portfolio based on total number of dollars that are within the available budget

CA Clarity – The Leading PPM Tool (Gartner & Forrester Analysis) From 2003 to 2004 market grew at 12%. Clarity grew at 5X and our growth hasn’t slow since Note: of the top 5 market share leaders according to Gartner/Dataquest – the next closest vendor to Niku’s exceptional 63% yoy growth was Microsoft, with growth of only 9%. Other Top 5 vendors: Microsoft – 9% Primavera – 5.5% Peoplesoft – 3% Planview – 6% I inherited the notes above, so I have left them in there. I have never used them. I explain the quadrant and Clarity’s position as a leader. I spend the most time highlighting our awards and the fact that they come from users/customers and not analysts or vendors. I also note that this is the only product-pitch slide in the presentation as I firmly believe the effectiveness of the message is based on being product agnostic.

Project Portfolio Summary - Detail This is page two of the report. The Variance % Yellow and Variance % Red Threshold parameters allow you to control when the background color changes to yellow and red, respectively, for the % Variance column in the report. The background color changes for both positive and negative variances. If the % Variance in the report is less than the Variance % Yellow Threshold, then there is no background color. If the % Variance is greater than or equal to the Variance % Yellow Threshold, then it will be yellow until it reaches the Variance % Red Threshold entered as a parameter. Amounts that are greater than or equal to the Variance % Red Threshold will be red. In the above screen capture, the Variance % Yellow Threshold parameter entered when running the report is 10% and the Variance % Red Threshold is 15%. Entering these parameter values means that the % Variance will turn yellow when it is greater than or equal a positive or negative 10% variance. It will turn red when it is greater than or equal to a positive or negative 15% variance.
