IBM Rational process, portfolio, and project management (US) software helps you enable and automate best practices for improved governance and for clear visibility into portfolio and project performance across the entire IT project life cycle from opportunity identification and prioritisation through project execution and closure.
With increased focus on the role of technology systems in defining the business, chief information officers (CIOs) and IT managers face intense pressure to more effectively govern all aspects of their IT processes (US) including software and systems delivery. They need to demonstrate how strategic initiatives translate into IT investments that deliver results.
CIOs and IT managers are expected to have immediate access to detailed portfolio and project status, including:
- How resources are allocated
- How planned initiatives impact existing portfolios and projects
- How opportunities can be easily identified and whether or not they should be pursued
- Whether or not skills and assets are being optimised
- How return on investment decisions are measured
- Who is accountable
An integral part of the IBM Rational solution for business-driven development, project management (US) and portfolio management software (US) helps CIOs and IT managers prioritise, plan, manage, and measure projects as a comprehensive portfolio.
