Summary

Before IT can transition to business technology (BT) and become an effective partner with the business, the two groups of leaders must completely rethink the way they plan and execute — and begin to act as one.

Next-generation portfolio management brings transparency to strategic and operational planning and brings a Lean focus to prioritization so that companies can deliver the right work at the right time and employ the necessary talent and technology in a true partnership with business leaders. This helps application development and delivery leaders select and deliver the right value for BT investments at the right time.
