This is a document excerptEXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Project portfolio management (PPM) is a critical enabler for IT work delivery. For successful delivery, IT organizations must be able to visualize the requirements to meet objectives, determine the best combinations of new projects and existing systems to achieve the correct resource balance, and control unnecessary investments. To assess the state of the market and see how the vendors stack up against each other, Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of top PPM vendors across 94 criteria. The result: Best-of-breed still reigns. Primavera's and PlanView's functional depth, breadth, and work-specific or industry-specific solutions far outweigh generic IT work management requirements. Included in this report is an interactive vendor comparison tool that provides detailed product evaluations and customizable rankings.
