5. Background
• Introduction of a Project
Management Framework 3 years
ago – adoption is improving
• Until recently – lack of a common
understanding of processes
• Bottom-up desire for tool support
– a place to store data and
reference models
6. Driving Forces for a new
Portfolio Tool
• Federated IS organisation, with
need for consolidated overview /
reporting
• Transparency & Visibility
• Processes before Tools
7. When go was given – we
needed the tool yesterday
• Tough deadlines, narrow scope,
demand for “process adherence”
• No time for mistakes or time
consuming RFP process, yet RFP
was mandatory
• Aim for 80 / 20 implementation
at time of go live
8. Getting organised
• Assistance to avoid pitfalls
• Tried it before
• Know the market
• Got the abstraction level, when
required –
• Respect my desire to lead and
dare to challenge
• Vendor Identification
• Cloud vs. On Premise
9. Approach
Project Execution
page 9
Time box approach to avoid delay accumulation
Shortlist 6 vendors for RFP. Evaluate and reduce to 2-3
vendors for workshops.
An 80% solution match being executed is better than a 100%
match not reaching target in 2014.
Support from experienced consultants in formulating
requirements, defining evaluation criteria, conducting
evaluation workshops and planning / executing
implementation.

Monthly Status Reporting Portfolio Overview
Every project in the Masterplan must submit a monthly status report
in order to track portfolio performance.
