Portfolio strategy and management

Connecting business and delivery

IBM Software delivery management solution helps companies connect the business organisation with the delivery organisation. Breaking down these silos can be enabled by providing a collaborative platform where the whole organisation can prioritise, share and govern delivery. The result is better informed decision making at all levels, and greatly improved communications and traceability between teams, which drives greater delivery efficiency and effectiveness and an overall increase in the business value created by delivery teams. Connecting business (PPM) and delivery (ALM/CLM) will allow organisations to be both strategic and tactical and ("doing the right things" and "doing things right").

• Prioritise and execute projects that are aligned with business objectives
• Create delivery plans that fit within resource and schedule constraints
• Enable agile delivery and still feel in control
• Mitigate risk and deal with issues early
• Be flexible but not introduce error and inefficiency into the process


IBM Software performance measurement and management solution helps you improve project and process performance, quality and productivity, while reducing risk and cost. It is tailored for software and systems development and delivery. Performance measurement and management provides objective dashboards and measures for transparency and control into risks, status and trends. It generates documents for ad-hoc use, formal reviews, contractual obligations or compliance with standards.
