IT Portfolio Management http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/it_portfolio_management Wikipedia definition: IT portfolio management is the systematic management of large classes of items using IT Examples of IT portfolios would be planned initiatives, projects, and ongoing IT services (such as application support) The promise of IT portfolio management is the quantification of previously mysterious IT efforts, enabling measurement and objective evaluation of investment scenarios.
Backdrop Since 1987 when the International Organization for Standardization published the ISO9000 Series for Quality Management Systems there has been a market evolution in the formalization of standards, frameworks and regulations. Most notably there has been a rise in the service versus product areas, with organizations and individuals reaching for greater professional standing and recognition through personal qualifications and organizational certifications. This also applies to the IT environment, where mass adoption of ITIL best practices is becoming evident. Newly refreshed and published ITIL Version 3 is written with a broader context and scope of thinking for best practices covering Security, Procurement, Capability Maturity, and Application Support. ITIL V3 presents a new structure and approach that is lifecycle based. The new approach is termed the lifecycle approach, in line with IT service in reality. There is also the notion of providing IT services in a catalogue, an IT service portfolio. How ITIL V3 is structured as a service portfolio and its links to other standards, frameworks and regulations such as governance, risk, security, software development, procurement and even people management capabilities will be presented for examination. The evolving concept of registered organizations staffed with certified professionals in their IT field of practice is raised for discussion. "For an introduction to ITIL see my presentation on 21 March 2007 to the BCS Ottawa Section at http://ottawa.bcs.org/event38.php"
