7 Implemenng negraed IT governance To mplemen negraed IT governance, ICOR ha developed a x-ep proce ha focue on generang quck wn by breakng down complex IT ue no mall pece for eaer decon makng and moblzng change n he organzaon. Sep 1: Buy-n ecure organzaonal uppor The fr ep n he approach eng objecve for he organzaon and provdng nal drecon. Enablng bune/it algnmen and developng a muually-agreed operang model he key heme of h ep. From hen on, he eam wll follow he demand managemen model, whch nclude he fnancal managemen, porfolo managemen, rk managemen, and performance managemen framework. Whle he CIO or federal execuve drve he drecon-eng proce, mperave o ge akeholder no he effor. Sep 2: Be pracce algn wh ndury framework/be pracce Durng h ep, ICOR wll e up he eam for execuon managemen on an ongong ba. We wll ae he need of he organzaon and he poenal framework uch a Projec Managemen Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), Capably Maury Model Inegraon (CMMI), Informaon Technology Infrarucure Lbrary (ITIL), Conrol Objecve for Informaon and relaed Technology (COBIT), Sofware Developmen Lfecycle (SDLC), and Secury (ISO17799) ha wll mee he need of ha organzaon. Each organzaon unque and hu need a e of framework ha work for ha organzaon requremen. Addonally, he rucure hould have he capably o evolve baed on parcular crcumance. Sep 3: Quck rke conduc curren ae aemen A par of he execuon managemen ha uppor he federal agency aanmen of he maxmum level of managemen effcency, effecvene, and uanably, ICOR wll perform varou acve o provde an accurae pcure of he curren ae of he program nvemen. Durng h phae, we wll work wh he federal agency and oher relevan akeholder o formulae a raegc porfolo managemen proce model, porfolo analycal framework, and reporng capable. In aggregae, our porfolo caegorzaon, clafcaon, and balancng acve wll faclae rgh nave and rgh ae for he organzaon o accomplh raegc goal and objecve. Durng h ep, ICOR wll alo eablh he performance managemen framework o eablh he a- pcure and he o-be ae. Typcally, we wll leverage he balanced corecard o provde ranparence of he Key Performance Indcaor (KPI) and oher performance merc. The vendor managemen framework wll alo be agreed upon a h age. Sep 4: Deep dve deermne daa and proce gap Durng he deep dve, ICOR wll perform addonal nvegaon and analy of he organzaon nave o cloe he daa and evaluaon gap.

Sep 5: Auomae mplemen ool o uppor bune Durng h ep, HP and ICOR wll help enable he organzaon o mplemen ool o uppor bune. In order o effecvely realze he benef endered by ranformaon, he organzaon mu nroduce and ue new ool ha wll help he organzaon focu on core bune and enhance collaboraon. The benef of mplemenng hee new ool nclude provdng adherence o cro-funconal proce workflow, enablng rackng and meauremen of progre, drvng effecve communcaon, and delverng organzaonal knowledge managemen. Sep 6: Long haul mprove bune cycle Improvng he bune cycle enable he organzaon o conduc bune n a conen and repeaable manner.

The queon how o ge ared on he road o mplemenng new procee and andard for nvemen elecon, balancng, and governance. Your arng pon wll depend on your agency parcular e of challenge and goal. 1. Bune/IT algnmen: You canno calbrae he bune value of an ndvdual projec f you canno ee he bg pcure. However, many organzaon connue o manage he IT projec porfolo a a collecon of ndvdual projec raher han a a porfolo. To be effecve, your porfolo managemen oluon hould enable you o govern your enre IT porfolo by evaluang, prorzng, balancng, and approvng boh new nave and exng ae and operaonal yem; analyze mulple wha-f cenaro; and algn wh your agency raegy wh budge and reource conran.

Whaever age of maury decrbe your organzaon oday, HP PPM Cener can help you progre oward dered goal quckly and wh reduced rk or drupon of exng procee. Unlke approache ha only offer me reporng yem and projec chedulng ool, HP offer op-down plannng capable ha are uppored wh boom-up dealed projec plan.

Checkl you need a beer bune/it algnmen oluon f: You have no aggregae-level vbly no me, co, and reource nformaon for projec and non-projec effor. In-flgh projec, raegc projec, and operaonal work are all managed and mananed n dfferen yem of record.

Procee are no auomaed and your aff fruraed feedng he ame daa no mulple yem wh lle collaboraon, vbly, or reporng ervce. 2. Demand conoldaon: The fr ep n conoldang IT demand o denfy a oluon ha capable and uppor flexble/dynamc workflow for aggregang and managng all he dvere demand placed on IT nvemen: developmenal projec, operaonal projec, raegc projec, and projec ha are mandaed by exernal organzaon, he federal governmen, or your CIO. You alo need a oluon ha allow you o brng n exng projec plan from Mcroof Projec, Excel, Word, and oher dparae projec daa ource, and you ll need o creae an aggregae vew acro all projec ype. Checkl you need a beer demand conoldaon oluon f: You are ung mulple yem ha are no negraed o collec, rack, and reolve IT ervce reque for new projec, ervce, or confguraon managemen. You are only rackng large raegc projec and no operaonal ae or maller developmenal effor. Reque frequenly come n he back door, are no formally managed, and have poor algnmen wh bune objecve.
