4 Key Elements of the World Class IT Organization

Important Features of the World Class IT Organization

1. Successful IT Governance requires that the IT organizations take a portfolio approach to managing their inventory of projects.

2. Any technology solution must reflect the current and future realities of the IT community, which will continue to be heavily dependent on scarce human resources. Information Technology areas must retain intellectual capital in the face of rapid employee turnover; enable geographically dispersed teams to work effectively; provide for the joint development of work products and effective communication processes; and accelerate time-to-market.

3. Traditional project management technology solutions were originally intended as desktop (non-enterprise-wide) products, frequently for use in environments relying on commodity resources.  These products fall short in supporting IT organizations, heavily focused on the management of scarce, knowledge resources and the management of project information.

4. A new breed of software solution recognizes this new IT reality and provides an opportunity to leap frog those IT organizations that are heavily invested traditional project management systems.
