Demand Management – Cockpit for a organizational unit • Shows an overview of demands requested by the organization including status and priority • Pie-chart showing demand breakdown by category, e. g. strategic demands or operational improvements • Gantt charts of projects delivering on the demands • Portfolio diagram of applications owned by the organization • “Master map” showing which applications support which processes for the organization 1 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Demand Management – Capture using wizards and workflow • Drill-down to the list of demands for the organization • From here wizards are used to create new demands or to edit existing ones. Within the wizards the affected architecture is presented and it can related to the demand. • Wizards are fully configurable and can be embedded in workflows to support multi-step, multiuser demand capture (and capture of all other objects such as projects, applications, etc. ) 2 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Demand Management – Drill-down to a cockpit for an individual demand • Here are different attributes of the demand including links to the executing project and responsible users • Audit of changes in the status of the demand • Documents related to the demand – categorized. Here you can link directly to the documents which are in 3 rd party systems • Graphic showing the link between the demand (green) and business initiative (grey) and objectives related to the initiative (peach). Note that in this case more than one demand is related to the initiative • Gantt chart with the life-cycles of impacted applications • Portfolio of similar demands identified by the overlap in architectural elements impacted (shown in the report) 3 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Demand Management – Link to KPIs monitoring delivery on business goals • Here we have drilled-down to one of the business objectives • Here the objective is described • Here an overview if the KPIs monitoring success in meeting the objective • A line-chart showing the objectives over time and objective fulfillment • A graph showing associated business initiatives (grey) and demands(green) 4 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Project Management – Business owner perspective • Projects owned by the business owner in hierarchal form (program, project, subprojects, tasks). This hierarchy is fully configurable. • Cockpit for the business owner showing detailed information on a project • Responsible users in the projects • Project Gantt with milestones color coded (green - ok, red - critical) • Graph showing the project (olive with red boarder), related demands (vivid green), business initiatives (grey) and associated objectives colored according to fulfillment • Project cost analysis 5 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Project Management – Drill-down to the critical milestone • Basic attributes describing the milestone • Audit of changes made to the milestone target-date • Overview of the other milestones in the project and their statuses 6 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Project Management – Project manager perspective • Information on project contacts • Overview of the steps of a workflow managing the project tasks – the current step is to assess alternative solutions • Diagram showing the applications and information flows impacted by the project • Documents related to the project • Demands that are being addressed by the project • Report comparing the impact, costs and duration of two alternatives for project implementation • Portfolio analysis of the same two alternatives assessing business value delivered and architectural impact 7 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Project Management – Project manager perspective • Drill down to the workflow step “Decide for solution” • Buttons to execute the task – also to show graphical overview of workflow. • Users responsible for the task (single, group or one of a group) • The workflow engine is embedded and is tightly integrated. Any data, report, wizard or view can be addressed from a workflow activity. • Users have a task list in the product and are also informed per email with a dynamic link to the appropriate part of the product for the task 8 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Project Management – Drill-down to one of the alternative solutions • Gantt chart showing the project and the different skills required during the project phases if the project is implemented with this solution • Business plan for the project if implemented with this solution • Gantt chart showing the applications of the solutions along with the technologies on which those applications are dependent. This exposes life-cycle conflicts. • A list of changes to the architecture to be executed in order to implement this solution 9 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Project Portfolio Management • Prioritization scheme – configurable. Interactive weighting-slider supported • Portfolios shown in tree form – in this case the portfolios are defined according to business capabilities • Multiple portfolio perspectives are supported, e. g. process, organization, budget owner • Dashboard for the project portfolio associated to capability “Trading” • Portfolio analysis of the projects • Gantt chart monitoring execution status of the projects • Chart showing net skill availability (availability – requests) • Chart showing total skill offers 10 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011 • Cost planning – projects and budget alignment (budget overrun in orange). Ordered according to priority. Manual override supported.
Project Portfolio Management • Here a project is being moved out six months in order to solve a problem in skill availability • Such changes are reflected in the dashboard and help optimize the project portfolio 11 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Application Portfolio Management – Enterprise view • Dashboard showing an overview of the application portfolio program • Cluster diagram showing the first-two levels of business capabilities in the enterprise. The second level is color coded according to the fulfillment of objectives associated with the application portfolio program (e. g. number of applications) • Graph showing the total number of applications in the enterprise • Graph showing total application costs (plan and actual costs) 12 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Application Portfolio Management – Portfolio view • Cockpit showing an application portfolio for one of the business capabilities – “Trading”. The business capability structure is seen in the tree on the left. • Applications in the portfolio with their lifecycles and the life-cycles of technologies that they depend on (dark brown). The lighter applications (beige) are applications that are planned in projects but not yet approved. • Information flow diagram for the portfolio • Cost trend bar-chart for application costs (each color represents an application) • Portfolio analysis 13 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Application Portfolio Management – Application view • Here a drill-down to a cockpit for a single application • Attributes associated with the application, e. g. owner, version, life-cycle, release status • Application diagram showing interfaces to other applications and internal components. Color coded to highlight attributes such as platform (mainframe, Unix, windows). Also showing performance indicators. • Technology platform of the application – the indicators (green square) shows that the technology is in life-cycle • Gantt chart showing the internally approved life-cycle of technologies that the application uses (brown). Also shown are the support life -cycles as published by the vendor (grey) • Pi-chart showing the number of processes supported by the application by organization • Bar-chart showing the application cost trend (colored by cost type) 14 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
Techology Portfolio – Cockpit for a technology component • Drill down to one of the technology components “ORBIX” • Attributes associated to the technology – e. g. version, vendor, technical domain (e. g. databases), life-cycle and status • Responsible users • Life-cycles – internal lifecycle, vendor support lifecycle and life-cycle as defined as an exception for Europe • Gantt chart showing where the technology is used – in which platforms and applications • Diagram showing projects (green) intending to use the technology 15 Provided to Gartner under strict confidentiality for the IT PM MQ 2011
